Woman in a Government car is a lunatic. With pics!

4,701 1,051 January 28, 2011 at 12:12 PM in Chat (3)
Long story short I'm sitting at a red light that has a left turn lane ONLY that is to my left of course.

Light turns green I go straight.

I make it 100% of the way through the intersection, when all of a sudden there is a PRIUS hood at my drivers side window....GOING MY DIRECTION!!! Scared the **** out of me! The car is on the wrong side of a busy road (1pm on a Friday)...

I lay on the horn and slow down to let in this lunatic.

The person gets infront of me.......and what to do I see???

How's my driving?? on her bumper!! It has a website (which I can probably figure out) on it!! I start to smile.

The light infront of us turns red, it is red for at least a full second before we get to it......My window is down and I'm mouthing the words "I'm going to report you"

She says something back that I have no idea what it was and she ran the red light. She then got onto the highway.

Well guess what, 95 always has traffic after 11am on Friday's. I had NO PROBLEM catching up to her.

Here's the pic I got (we were actually moving and I was holding up the center lane by snapping this, I didn't want to be too much of a dick and slow others down so I kept going).

Here's a diagram that is an accurate depiction of where things happened. She got in my lane JUST as we got to the train bridge.

I just finished a complaint with pictures included and wrote that I want her removed from driving a state owned car. My tax dollars paid for her to cut me off, endanger MY LIFE and the life of the other people in the oncoming direction.

There is no law saying you can't take a picture with a phone in camera mode.

You really could have left the "government" out of the title and still been correct.

tl;dr Another driver makes a mistake, OP goes all roadrage to the extent where he is behaving dangerously holding up traffic to take pictures and threatening the other driver at stop lights.

Conclussion: OP should take anger management classes and get off his high horse.

I always wondered that... because I like taking pictures with my phone in the car, while I'm not driving... But is that considered "texting"... They fine here for texting, but that's not texting, I just want to take a damn picture! Ranting

It's state dependent, many states consider taking a picture not truly "hands free"

You forgot that the original driver needs to retake a driving course.

You are sadly mistaken and hating on your fellow man.

The other driver consciously chose to drive on the wrong side of the road, at a busy time of day and then cut me off.

The light ahead turned red, I was coming to a stop and was not making any noise when I was mouthing the words "I'm going to report you"

I then sat at the red light that she ran for a good 30 seconds. I then got on the highway normally, and drove normal speeds for a Friday afternoon. I had my camera ready to go incase I saw her.

About 1-2 mins later I did see her in the slow lane. I was in the middle lane. I got ready and slowed down just a hair pressed the camera button and sped back up.

I said I DIDN'T want to SLOW DOWN and get behind her because that would have held up my lane.

Conclusion: you are a keyboard cowboy who makes assumptions and can't 100% comprehend a story.
