We have an ethnicity that took over my town. Used to be 75% white. That 75% is still White, but from near Turkey.
These folks don’t signal, don’t look before changing lanes, and don’t look before pulling out onto the street.
This very evening a bus was stopped at a bus stop. One of these characters walked around the front of the bus and just a step from my vehicle. I was going about 20 MPH. I didn’t even try to stop. Was moving at a fast pace across the road in the middle of the street from behind a blind in heavy traffic. He barely stopped in time. I was about ten feet from him when I saw him.
About six years ago I was driving south on Glendale Avenue. I was in the right lane. The car next to me decided they wanted to come over and they clipped the front of my car. I saw them coming, but that happens about twice on the way to work every day. I learned to just wait until they wake up, but this guy never looked.
He left about a one inch spot on my left front fender. It was damp on the road, and his front end pulled around and he ran right into parked cars. He did a lot of damage to his own car and I think he totaled a vintage pickup that had been parked.
If I had broken my wheels free by braking, I would have been pushing into the parked cars. As it was, virtually nothing happened to my car.
An older lady sitting in the passenger seat was transported to the hospital.
You feel bad for these folks, but what the hell.
They shouldn’t even be on the road.
I know what you are talking about. Some of those folks are industrious. You see them all the time loaded up in a pickup, going somewhere to dump the yard stuff they’ve loaded up.
Nobody says a word, because they know these folks won’t, can’t change anything. If you or I did that, our license would be on display at the Smithsonian the next day.
You feel bad for them, I don’t. I feel like I have a target on my car just going to the grocery store now.
