No pic of today's idiot, since I unfortunately wasn't carrying my camera
at the time. However, this one pissed me off enough to post this here
regardless. I was coming home from work today at 2pm, going down Union
Blvd here in town (it's like our area's "second Main St."). Up until about
a year ago, much of the road was two lanes in each direction, but then
they repaved the road and decided it'd be better to make it one lane in
each direction with a large shoulder and big turning lanes. Well
apparently, this person insisted on living in the past, as she decided to
drive her Buick Century completely in the shoulder for over a full mile
before she turned off. I mean really, I could see making an honest mistake
by driving on the shoulder for a minute if you used to live around here,
and then came back after being away for awhile... but when you've got a
solid white line on your left instead of a dotted one, and you drive
through six or seven clearly-marked turning lanes, you're simply a goddamn
idiot. Anyone who can't figure out that they're not driving in an actual
lane needs to have their license taken away, plain and simple... hell, I
was about to grab my cell phone and ring up our friends at the SCPD just
before she turned off. Maybe next time... :)
