My Insights

I was on my way to school this morning around 8:30′ish and this guy tried to change lanes right after a red light and he realized that I was coming in his intended lane at considerable speed and he swerved back into his lane. I didn’t think much of it until about 5 minutes later I see him driving on the shoulder. Here’s what happened: on Riggs rd. going south, the road is two lanes wide near Cherry hill road and one of those lanes turns into a right turn only lane. This guy went from the right turn only lane and tried to squeeze his old Cadillac onto the tiny shoulder to overtake the car going in the normal lane. I thought to myself, damn! this guy drives worse than me.

Well, for about the next few minutes, I was following him just because I was going the same way and this guy just crossed the yellow line like a million times … not completely though. At that point I figured that the guy was probably drunk. I thought to myself, “should I call 911 and follow this guy? It’ll be a lot of fun and I’m late for class anyways so this’ll get me an excuse”. Well I decided not to call 911 just because I didn’t wanna go through any hassles and I don’t think that the guy would’ve intended or coused any damage. When I finally got to peek into his car cuz I was turning, I saw the guy almost sleeping on his steering wheel while waiting for the light to turn green. I think the poor guy was just way too sleepy. Oh well, all I have to say is that I really dislike drunk drivers because of the mere fact that they can hurt innocent people.
