I may have seen the worl'ds dumbest today

[wildchild]

Coming into work, as it gets to the city area, lots of onramps and exits from freeway. traffic suddenly starts slowing drastically. obviously a cop somewhere. oh there he is coming down the on ramp. now trying to merge. dumbest driver in the world upset that traffic is slowing cuts off said officer (fully marked squad) and proceeds to use the on ramp area to pass slower traffic. funny squad never really entered highway, just followed his new friend off the highway on the next exit and turned on the let's get to know each other disco lights. LOL

would love to hear the story there

HAHA...I hate when mofo's do that about as much as the ones that wait until the last possible moment to merge and then want to cut someone off...glad they got lit up whether they got a ticket or not.

I'm not wishing a ticket on them so I won't jinx myself.

I cut off a cop once.

He had someone pulled over on a two lane(each way) road, so traffic was crawling along.
He had the person pulled over right before the right hand turn I was making. As I passed him, he let the guy go, and the dude dorve off while I was right beside the cruiser. At this point both lanes were close to 30 cars deep behind us, so instead of waiting for the cop to go, I cut him off and made my turn.
He lit me up, but let me go after I told him that I really didn't have a choice because of where the car he pulled over stopped.

He could have told the car to pull into the side street I was going to, would have made the traffic much easier to deal with.

That's good stuff.

I had a similar story once. I was at work on a huge project of a house move. Infact here are some Pictures from the move (http://www.flickr.com/photos/atlantasmittie84/sets/72157605291405040/). Anyways I'm at a huge intersection in a white construction truck with hard hat, vest, flashy light, etc that clue in I can be there. We were coming back from lunch and I went to cross the intersection where there is a giant road closed sign. I pull up and my partner hops out to move some cones. A Ford Ranger is behind us and my partner tells him not to go there. He ignores him and blows through the road block (note there are police everywhere) and almost takes out my truck and my partner. What that guy didn't realize was there was an undercover cop car behind us and he saw the whole thing. He busted him and had him wait for basically an hour. We talked to him later and he said he wrote everything he could think of that could halfway be justified.

Then some dumb bitch tried to go the wrong way and the head city cop floors his truck towards her to slam on the brakes right in front of her. He stops and then gets out to casually chat with another cop. She waited for 5 minutes before deciding to reverse. I got a picture of that one.

Working with traffic often, I never stop getting amazed at the stupidity of the people who are allowed to drive.

Probably more like illegal lane usage.

A drivers license should be much much tougher to get in this country.

Considering the town's nickname is Little Mexico I'm never suprised
