Lucky Friday the 13th

Leaving work, I sit at the red light at Faro and Riverside, waiting to make a left turn. The light turns green and I sit and wait while two cars turn. Then I wait while the another car finally decides to turn. So I have waited about 40 seconds, that's how long my light has been green and the light for other traffic has been red. Then I turn. Whoooooosh! Missed me by inches. At 50 plus miles an hour. He never saw me, until he missed me and the red light, THEN he stepped on his brakes. I hadn't looked to the left before turning. Two seconds slower and I wouldn't be writing this. MY Friday the 13th is a lucky one - so far.

MADDDDDDD

Mostly Against Dumb, Drugged, Drunk, Drowsy, Distracted Drivers

So, like, I am driving up Highway 71 towards Bee Cave and the pickup in front of me swerves into the oncoming lane (18-wheeler headed towards her), then swerves to the right lane. The driver swerves a few more times into both lanes. Good sense would dictate dropping back and staying out of the driver's potential crash area, but I was curious. Was the driver drunk? Suffering a serious medical emergency? Something more mundane like unable to talk on phone or apply make-up while driving? So I passed the pickup. And what was the woman doing??????





She had her face in the rearview mirror, flossing her teeth!

These kind of people should have their pictures plastered all over the front page, not Paris Hilton.
