Fleeing Scene
I'm driving home from class down some side streets not far from my house, with a friend of mine following behind me. We turn down a side street about a block from my house when we come upon an accident between a little sedan and an SUV. Sedan is totaled, no way that thing is going to move. I stop and am about to park and get out to make sure everyone is alright, when the SUV reves it's engines and attempts to pass me. Oh hell no, no one leaves the scene of an accident, especially one this bad. So, I turn my truck so it's blocking the road and flip my hazards on. SUV honks at me. I just shake my head, park, and shut off my car. SUV then does a U-turn and attempts to go out the other end. Oh darn, look at that. My friend noticed what I did and is now blocking the other half of the road. Isn't that a shame. SUV then stops and a very small looking teenaged girl hops out of it and starts cussing at us.
Me: Do you not realize that it is felony to leave the scene of an accident?
Girl: You don't understand, if my mom finds out that I had an accident, she'll kill me!
Me: That's not my problem, it is still illegal not to mention very irresponisble. Have you even called the cops?
Girl: No way! It wasn't my fault. That lady pulled out the school and ran into me.
Red flag! It's about 2:30, which is usually when the school lets out. I immediately run to the other car. I find the woman slumped over the steering wheel, but conscious. I tell her help is on the way as I dial 911. I point to my friend, point at the girl and mouth, "make sure she doesn't move!" He nods and glares at her. She is petrified now, I guess because she finally realized just how badly she f*cked up.
I get off the phone with the 911 dispatcher and go back to the sedan. The woman is hysterical. I try to calm her and tell her not to move too much because she may have some neck injuries. I check on her kids in the back, thankfully they were all unharmed and buckled in car seats, just a little a scared.
Cops and ambulance arrive. I move my truck so they can make it through. Cops look at me and my friend weird because of our blocking of the roads. We explain what happened and they are not happy. Found out, the girl stole her mom's SUV and skipped school to drive around. She hit the gas instead of the brake and slammed into the sedan as she came around the corner. You can better believe that this girl won't get her license back until she's like, 40!
Green, let's race!
The town I live in is a triple college town. There is a tech school on our side of town that my boyfriend attends. The other two are on the outskirts, on the other side. The tech one is big for automotive majors. Yes, that means there are: muscle cars, ricers (cars that have so much added to it that it looks and sounds like the cars from Fast and Furious), huge trucks, etc.
Well, I'm taking the boyfriend to class one day and we get to the stoplight. A ricer in a sooped up 2000 honda, fins and everything, pulls up beside us. He reves the engine (which sounds like a freakin generator, like a loud whine) and nods his head at me, which is the sign for a street race around here. Note: this is one of the BUSIEST intersections in the whole town, plus it's about 1pm, when all the afternoon classes start, so there are a TON of cars on the road. I look ahead of me, and there's a sheriff sitting at the light. I nod at him and nod towards the honda. He smiles and nods back, letting me know he'll get him. So i reve my engine, which is the orginal Vortec engine, bored for 60 with dual exhaust, which is a powerful engine and sounds like a beast when running. Guy in honda is a little worried, but continues to reve. Light turns green and he takes off while I barely even start to go. Sheriff flips his lights before the guy even makes it through the intersection. We pass them, sheriff waves a thank you. Honda guy waves a little something else before we get out of line of sight. Ah justice.
Stop means something!
So many people around here fly through stop signs, it's not even funny. i've nearly been hit several times because of these idiots.
I really think they need to step it up on the drivers test. This is getting ridiculous!
