notice that "normal cars", when they are run out of gas, inevitably are left blocking traffic lanes. [though i don't understand why many drivers don't figure out that, on many roads, they might be able to BACK the car OFF THE ROAD and get it out of traffic...  ] |
Off Topic:
The other day I saw a car skid sideways to a stop in the right lane, this almost caused a traffic crash. I was 2 cars back when I realized that a ford escape was sitting in the right lane unoccupied & no flashers on 'just sitting in the middle of the lane'.
I activated my emergency lights & put traffic cones out to direct the other drivers into the left lane to avoid my vehicle and the ford.. I found the driver walking up the street towards me carrying a small gas can. (Not to add to the whole blonde thing) she was.. she put gas into the ford and drove to the gas station where I wrote her 2 tickets.
I am amazed at how many people don't know what or where the hazard light switch is on thier own cars or to coast/pull off the side of the road even if it means hopping over the curb..
