… who can’t seem to distinguish between the gas pedal and the brake pedal. To quote the local gendarmes, “… a driver trying to park mistook her gas for her brakes, drove through a row of bushes, jumped a curb and landed on the other car.”. 🙄 I spotted this video this afternoon, after experiencing the following: While driving through a school zone, I stopped at the tail end of an amber light cycle, rather than take a chance on running the red light. A second or two after the light turned red, some a-hole in a new Camry passed me on the right, and made a left turn ON RED, narrowly avoiding being hit by traffic that had the right of way. 🤬 ---

This is why folks from New Jersey need to vacation on the EAST coast of Florida. This happens at least twice a month in-season here on the west coast of Florida. Usually the driver crashes into a beauty parlor, Quickie Mart or any other strip-mall store front. We don’t need folks from New Jersey adding any more! Go east, Go east! ---

Usually the driver crashes into a beauty parlor, Quickie Mart or any other strip-mall store front. In NYC’s borough of Queens, it has become at least a weekly occurrence for someone (almost always an elderly woman… ) to drive through the façade of a convenience store. Back in 2008, I was a passenger in my friend’s Accord, when we were T-boned–on the property of a gas station–by a woman driving a Lexus RX. I heard her being questioned by the responding officer, and when she stated, “the harder I pushed on the brake, the faster it went”, the cop softly muttered, “Yeah, that’s what happens when you don’t know the difference between the gas and the brake”. 😏 ---

Around here that would be called double parking and you can get a ticket for it. ---

There are idiots everywhere, smile as they get pulled over or are a wreck on the highway as you pass them by. ---

I stick to Dade or Broward county when I go to Florida. I’m a lot more comfy with the folks there. ---

Where as it must be a life or death situation for me to go south of Ft Pierce. ---
