I bet it doesn't take long for her defense lawyer to put the idea in her head to go after the restaurant where she was served saying they shouldn't have kept serving her more drinks and then let her drive away with the kids if they noticed she was drunk.

I was behind a Porsche today that was driving slow. People who know me say I drive like an old man. The porche was going 20 miles an hour but on that road I do 35. It's like a Ferrari in front of you going so slow it seems like it's involved in a parade.

There is an old man with a 2005 Honda that the police must know in my apartment complex. He drives 10 to 15 miles an hour on the main roads. Because he is so old the police give him a break. You would not want to find yourself behind him . He does about 2 miles an hour in the parking lot.

Sadly some drivers don't care and they will probably just ride up within inches of his tail like they will ram him until he either speeds up or gets out of the way.

If you see someone driving that slow nothing will make them drive faster. In fact if you try and tailgate they will slow down more. You could cut them off but I don't do that I try to take a

different road or turn if I can cutting people off can cause a head on. I have beeped it does not help the person driving the car has no brain. They are the same type who block grocery isles standing in the same spot staring at the same spot for ten minutes. The brain scan would let you know
If you fired a shot gun out your window they would still go just as slow because their brain has swiss cheese holes in it.

Never a good sign when the second post in the thread is already about throwing rocks at people.

If I recall correctly, you provoked that.

It was a red light if someone provokes you and you kill them you are still guilty. I was pointing out the red light. If you call that provoking her for her braking a traffic law then so be it.

Of course that's what he would call it.

I have that happen to me all the time and almost expect it now. I honked at a guy who did this, and then saw he had an out-of-state (MD) plate, plus he made a hand gesture of apology. But it's hilarious that this is viewed as worthy of enforcement, while far more dangerous behavior (like running red lights) isn't.

The state police have been enforcing that for decades. I don't know why it is such a high priority for them but it is become a fact of life around Boston.

What would you call it? Just an innocent victim?

The second incident was far more dangerous and a guy in a white truck witnessed it. I saw the light was red and it said cross and I waited for someone to run the red. the middle-aged woman clearly saw me and I was a piece of meat in her way. if only I had a rock in my hand. she drove towards me I did not move. I stood my ground and then she speed up and charged at me with her car! I thought I was going to get hit. She screeched on her brakes. I started swearing at her. I wanted to pull her out of the car and bash her. i would never hit a woman but if she tries to run me over she is getting a beating.

vehicular homicide is trendy I am just a piece of meat on the road!
