For the past two days, I have driven up behind the same idiot from our apartment complex at the new red light right in front of the complex entrance. When the D.O.T. set up that red light, they installed weight sensors under the road so that when we stop on top of them (I thought this was common knowledge, but apparently not), the light will change in our favor about 15 seconds later (Yes, I’ve timed it). If a car doesn’t hit either the left turn or right turn sensor with a minimum amount of weight (Let’s put it this way, a motorcycle can trip the sensor, folks), they will sit theoretically forever at our red light. The idiot I drive up two cars behind is the person in this scenario. He was in between both sensors, not touching either enough to trip the light to green. He just sat there for what seemed like ten minutes, but was probably more like five. I called out my car window to tell him that he needed to roll over the sensors. He proceeded to flip me off and sit there again like a lump on a log (I love using that phrase). I was in no hurry, so I decided to let him live out his little fantasy that the light was going to change for him. He finally ran the red light and made a left in front of some poor car, which made the person behind him run straight through the red light. I pulled up behind them… on the sensors, thank you very much, and 15 seconds later, pulled out on a green light. Ha!
The 2nd time I found him was last night. He was sitting on the SAME PLACE with his left turn signal on!! Luckily, this time, there were no other cars behind him, so I pulled up on the left sensor right beside him. He turned around and looked at me like he was scared of me, and I made no reaction. Guess what, folks? It turned green FIFTEEN SECONDS LATER.
Some people should not be allowed to drive.
