Backstory #9

Why didn't the cop stop him?

Hint 1

Who said he was driving?

Hint 2

He's a truck driver, sure. Doesn't mean he's always in the truck.

Hint 3

He was walking.

Show the answer

He was walking. He's a truck driver for work, but he was off the clock and on foot, and you can walk whichever way you want on a one-way street.
