And danger was his middle name?

Near the scene of this morning's fire in Greensboro was a police officer standing next to his cruiser. It was parked at an angle so motorists would know that stretch of road was closed.

But just in case you couldn't figure that out, he had placed orange cones across the road for good measure. Most drivers got it. But not this particular motorcyclist, who decided he'd weave between the cones and pass on through, apparently oblivious to all the fire and rescue equipment and smoke.

The cop watched in disbelief and raised his arms, as if to say, "hey buddy, are you blind?" But the motorcyclist continued on his merry way.

The officer resumed keeping an eye on nearby traffic, perhaps wondering if he needed bigger cones.
