Last week when I was coming home from work, I thought there was only road construction ahead--slowing me down.  But that was until we all got to a point along the construction area, where a car-wreck that had just occured was forcing the construction workers to make a detour around a couple of vehicles mashed up in the center of the freeway.  The ambulances were just arriving as I drove by and continued on home.

This stretch of freeway I live next to was apparently a new one when I moved to Southern California a decade ago, and it didn't seem to collect too many accidents at first.  I mean, I've driven the 5, the 91, the 405--all the ball-busters.  And this one was never a challenge for me.  But, man, it's got an accident every week now, it seems.

Tonight, I was driving up in the right-hand lane, prepared to exit at my off-ramp just two miles ahead.  The car in front of me was doing about 20.  20 fuckin' miles per hour, at MIDNIGHT, on a fuckin' 75 miles an hour freeway!?  Nut!  And that's what I pretty much said, as I passed them and got the hell around them:  "What're you a fuckin' nut or somethin'?  Dipshit!  Driving on the goddamn freeway at twenty miles an hour--fuckin' stupid ass."  Looked into my rearview mirror:  "You're gonna get your ass CLOCKED if you keep going at that speed out here, ya crazy son of a bitch--!"  His headlights spun suddenly to the right in my rearview mirror--and then the fuckin' car shot right off the road, and all the headlghts that had been following my lead slowed and diminished as I reached my exit:  "Well, there ya go!"

Holy balls, Batman!!!  O_O

I know it's not as funny since the dude actually wrecked, but when you said the guy was doing 20 I was immediately reminded of the old joke of the high-on-pot driver who got pulled over by the cops.  Thinking he was speeding, he says to the cop as he's rolling down the window, "I'm sorry, I'll slow down" and the cop replies, "You were doing 10 in a 50, sir."  :P

Hmmm.... Uranus in Aries , people obviously aren't using their "muscle between the ears" lately.

I've noticed an increase in speed-demons on the 57 (which is the freeway where last night's collision took place), and I can only imagine that whoever hit the 20-mile an hour Bozo was probably switching lanes too fast and didn't have a chance to avoid hitting the turtle-minded nutcase.

Damn nutsy...that's crazy.  I travel the 5 to get to work and yeah...there have been many bad accidents lately.  We had rain the other day and it took me 1.5 hour to get home...normally a half hour drive.

I've been super mindful ever since Uranus went into Aries, touching my Moon, 5th and 6th houses...

Wow!!! I have noticed a lot more dumb assing on the roads lately. I narrowly averted hitting a gal in the neighborhood where my day care lady lives. We have had a shit load of snow this year 101 inches and it rained a bit last night so the neighborhoods are slick. Well this young gal didn't bother to stop at the stop sign!! Thank god for good reflexes is all I have to say!!!

I think the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel...

Unpleasant experience, but thank goodness you were in front and not behind him nutsy!

Once on the island I was hitching into town as I was cooking that night at a bar. A couple of carloads of German hippie kids stopped, in old open-top cars. I got into the second one... A few miles down the road, on a very long straight stretch (made once by the Romans!) the lead car veered right off the road, across a field, and straight into a tree! It was quite shocking though luckily nobody was killed. I think they were all high (it was 1970, and most people were a lot of the time there). I had to hitch another lift...

Early in the morning the other day I saw this woman up ahead swerving like she was drunk.  When I passed her, she looked half asleep, bleary eyed with a coffee mug in one hand. 

I can't stand people who don't use a hands-free.  I don't own a hands-free, I just don't answer my flippin' phone when I'm on the road.  But for those who hold their phones and text while going 25 in a 75 and swerve like they've had a fifth of whiskey on a single lane mountain road - GET THE FUCK OFF YUH FUCKIN PHONE!!!

I couldn't believe it last night. Just as I was getting on the freeway to come home from work, thinking to myself 'Alright, watch out for the fuckin' nutters' the guy in front of me starts weaving in and out of his lane. I got past the fucker quick and got on the freeway, and it seemed like every 1 in 10 drivers out there was swerving or slowing down for no reason. It was a clear night, no rain, no hindrances. People are fuckin' losin' it. :O
