Ad mocks laws, police

Sun., April 4, 2021

I just had to write. I get so upset every time I see Northern Quest’s latest commercial on television. It is making a mockery of our state driving laws and the wonderful policemen and women who patrol our highways to keep us safe.

Whatever happened to the three-strikes law? The driver should have been charged after three tickets and lost his license. The ad isn’t funny and it is the worst commercial Northern Quest has ever done.
