While it isn't unusual to be surrounded by idiot drivers in the Kansas City area, it is rather unusual to see them get swatted with some car karma right before my eyes.
For example:
Husband and I were going through a subdivision the other day and a pickup truck was tailgating us. Not just close to us, but literally inches off our back bumper. Mind you, I am talking about a residential area where the speed limit is 35 miles an hour...two lane road...sloping hill toward a T. So to get "Mr. driver in such a hurry" off our ass we pulled to the side of the road to let him pass. AND Mr. DISAH gunned his truck to prove (I guess) he is such a cool driver. Unfortuneately, for him, he went into a spin. He spun 360 degrees twice before continuing to spin through a stop sign and was then facing the wrong way on the wrong side of the street. Luckily for him there was no oncoming traffic or his hoopty ride would be toast.
As husband and I sat there looking at this guy, I was NEARLY tempted to feel bad for him because he looked like he might of peed himself he was so scared. He rebounded after a minute and gunned the truck again and sped off. At that point I didn't feel bad for him at all.
The very next day, I am coming home from the gym and I come up to a stretch of road that goes from two westbound lanes to one. This stretch of 143rd Street. is hilly and winding with a 25 MPH speed limit. It is also a speed trap. As I live near here and take this road all the time, I slow down. I know better than to take the chance. I haven't ever gotten a ticket but rarely do I escape seeing all the others getting written up as I drive by.
SOOOO...I am coming to the area where the right lane merges to one lane and I notice an SUV coming up on me as if I am standing still. He guns it and passes me on the right where there is no road left....just a sidewalk. See Google Earth picture above. Another "Mr. Driver in such a Hurry". He leaves me in his dust.
Too bad for him, I see that a motorcycle cop is pulling him over.
I have come to the conclusion that my vehicle came equipped with a fairy Godmother that seems to not like bad drivers to be around me. She, also, must be more that a little hormonal lately from the looks of it.
The Good for the Day...Could we hope that the guy in the pickup slowed down and realized how foolish that was.
The Bad for the Day...Never fun to get a ticket.
The Weird for the Day......
