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.

I said "i took it with a regular camera" as a joke.

It's painfully obvious.

You're missing that it's a State owned car that says "hows my driving" on the back.

Quote from J3ff :
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.
