oops....

i was driving home from work(at night)....and i stop at this red light. there were two lanes, both had to turn left. so there is this trolley (like a small bus) in the left lane and im in the right. green light, i start to turn, and all of a sudden see like 6 cones in front of me. im like WTF and so is my passenger (friend from work) so i quickly think what to do: 1. go left, get destroyed by trolley 2. go right, into dark grass tree area have no idea whats over there 3. hit cones. so i plow over one cone
(got pretty lucky) then accelerate and go around the trolley wich i guess saw me frolicking about in the cones and slowed to let me back in... it was really funny. i guess the construction crew forgot to block the turn lane i was in. i got bored and drew this picture: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=503/34853cone.JPG

why couldn't you just stop and wait for the trolley to go past you?

thats what i was thinking... you were at a complete stop, you couldnt have been going 60 mph by the time you reached teh cones

i was going almost 30 and there was traffic right behind me so i just did the easiest thing. cone= rubber= least amount of risk. it only left a small mark on my bumper that i can take off with buffer.

u were at a dead stop and were already going 30 before u were through the turn? were u trying to race the trolly?

maybe....no j/k :grinno: it was a longer turn then what it looks like in the pic. i didnt really see the cones and my mind didnt process what was happening until i was like 5 feet from it. after work, tired, brain doesnt work....

and your default is go, not stop? lol, thats great :p

u must have a very demanding job to forget how to drive

the most logical thing to have done was go strait through the grass and into the ocean

but i guess your way wasnt that bad... some of my friends knock over the cones for fun.... :disappoin

Yeah i guess :lol2:

I ran over a cone about a week ago. That kinda thing happens to everyone...well, maybe not everyone, but a few people anyway.
