I used to work in and live near Detroit, silliness was commonplace. One afternoon I saw a woman miss her exit from the expressway. She stopped, put it in reverse , and backed up to her exit. People got out of her way.
Back in the early ’70’s, I-78 only went east to I-287. There you had to go north or south. One night, there was a 4-wheeler stopped in the middle of 78 with a woman looking at a road map. It was a wonder she wasn’t creamed. The guy in the pic above must be her kid.
Just last week I had a female driver think she was two blocks east of where was (my best guess anyway) because there is a northbound one way street that direction. Anyway she was sitting at a traffic here left turn signal POINTED NORTH on SOUTHBOUND SIDE OF a TWO WAY STREET. I bet I FREAKED HER OUT though as I was westbound on the avenue and I turned left right behind her and hit the horn as I turned behind her.

They stopped where they did so they don’t have a lick of common sense, that guy looks full grown too, so luck really exists!

Really? Just spend a day in oil patch and then realize that behaviour is called Tuesday.

Until a less capable (downright stupid) fool comes along uninvited to your party… then, all bets are off.

And there is going to be an indignant twitter/FB post when Officer Obie tells them to put their crap back in their car and move to the shoulder.
