Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
I’d wager a guess that about 60%-65% of people who have drivers licenses shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
A metro mobility bus was at a railroad with a stoplight just after it. Snelling North and County C and I’m turning left onto C, for those in the cities. The bus throws on its flashers but the light is red and we’re backed up beyond the tracks.
The guy immediately in front of me just goes into an absolute panic. He swerves, in what appears to be an attempt to get back onto Snelling. Decides against it and then stops like 30 feet back from the bus and throws on his flashers. Turns them off and then slowly, like 2 mph, starts inching up towards the bus while the light is still red.
The light turns green, the bus pulls up to the tracks with its flashers still on. The guy in front of me doesn’t move up with the bus. He waits until the flashers go off and he then starts moving forward.
He gets through the light and I’m left with a hard ****ing red and I’m not wanting to run through a hard red on Snelling. So I miss two long effing cycles.
If you: A) don’t know how to handle a bus at a RR intersection or B) know how to not panic on the road, you should probably just never drive. Ever.
