Yes, I am a total creeper. In my defense this is shot from 300 feet away with a telephoto via the window in front of my desk. Very discrete.
It’s only been a month since the last time some idiot was !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Here we go again... I heard a good 2 or 3 seconds of tire screech and then SMASH. This is a new one. I’ve never seen someone go so fast up this hill that they slid into the oncoming lane. The turn is 100 feet from an intersection with a stop sign... this idiot had to have fucking floored it all the way up the hill. Some people... I hope this asshole gets a ticket for it and is reamed by his insurance company. At least he didn’t take anyone else out like the last degenerate who caused an accident.
As usual I called it in via the non-emergency line because this happens often enough that it isn’t worth a 911, and our boys in blue were there in 30 seconds (I’m half a mile from the police station). Fuck’s sake Oppo. Fuck’s sake. As usual I had a halfhearted short conversation with the dispatcher about making one of the handpainted signs our town uses for reminders on dangerous intersections to soften the message a little bit. The police always like the idea, and ask me to come in and speak to the sergeant on duty about doing it. I have a feeling that the only way those go up, no matter how badly they’re needed, is via concerned citizens. I do paint for fun anyway so this wouldn’t be too much trouble, but I would want to clear the design with all of my neighbors first, and I’m studying for the LSAT on June 11 so I just don’t have time for this right now. I should really stop being so lazy about this before someone gets killed though... my family could have been walking the dog right there where he hit the tree. My neighbors have young kids who wait at a driveway right by the truck.

Time to post a sign to start keeping tally of the victims claimed by this corner. Haven’t most of the idiots crashing here done it on the downhill side? It sounds like he messed up good to go off uphill and still have 2-3 seconds from fuck up to impact.

Yeah that’s why this one makes me especially mad. He had to have been going 40 MPH plus just after making a 90 degree right or left turn. I don’t think my neighbors would like a kill count sign as much as I would love that hahah

At least they’re open to improving the situation. I have been writing my alderman for years trying to get a stop sign moved from out behind a tree. Its personal because I got hit there riding my bike 5 years ago and spent the night in the hospital after the driver didn’t see the stop sign.
Anyway after being ignored for 5 years, I just wrote an email telling them what date and time I would be fixing the stop sign myself and that they could help if they want to. All the sudden there was traffic safety people and the forestry department handling the situation.
