I hated driving in California. Too many crazy drivers out there.
They are everywhere. My wife’s nephew was killed by a wrong way driver on I-40 years ago, and I’ve seen people creeping the wrong way along interstates, and regular divided highways.
#6. Try this one on for size. DC, any time.
Four lane divided street through the heart of DC about 2:30 PM. I’m in the speed lane of two, third is parking, heading east with a GREEN LIGHT.
Heavy traffic coming down the opposite lane, with the same GREEN LIGHT.
A 1/2 ton Rental Type truck with tailgate on my right, doing the legal speed limit but he blocked my view of anything coming from the cross street (Right to Left).
All of s sudden, a jerk on a very small motorbike shoots across our side of the street from the RIGHT (I missed him by about 6 inches because I never saw him until he cleared the front of the truck at my immediate right. We were doing about 25-30 miles an hour (per speed limit).
The biker continues to run the red light across our two lanes and then across the two oncoming Left lanes, nearly getting hit by two other cars who never saw him until he was in front of them.
His stupidity bet out the jerk who was, in a different incident, in the Left turn lane of a four lane street heading North. He suddenly swung right from the Turn lane, across the other three lanes and then swung into a nearby street.
I could have made my fortune selling DEPENDS that day. The asshole used up 4 of his lives that day and lived to tell about it. But one day he’s going to get nailed (T-Boned) and killed. Some people are just plain dumbassed stupid. He will not be missed by decent drivers.
And this happens on a daily basis in the DC metropolitan area. Some drivers have defied the laws of physics and gravity. You’ve just got to see it to believe it.
Come to DC (in an armored truck) if you want to see the show of clowns, fools, and crazies (and that’s not just applicable to Congress).
