Portrait of a Utah Driver

Screw the Metro or Aspire...she needs one of those old Fiat 800's or something..the one with the 20 HP that you can buy in GT2. That way you can see the dingy broad a mile away making her fuck-up, have time to stop at Starbucks, do some laundry at the Sit-N-Spin, pick up the kids from school, and make sure you get out of her way.

OK, so we have this section in our local newspaper called The Vent, it's so people can anonymously vent about stuff. Lately people have been venting about the drivers. Here's one driver's response:

Southern Utah Driver said: People always complain about us Southern Utah drivers. I am one of them, and I never use my blinkers because I'm afraid dorks like you will follow me if you know where I'm going. I also honk my horn regularly because if you think I'm going to hit you, you're more likely to drive the speed limit. Move if you don't like it.

Why thanks, Southern Utah Driver, I think I will.

Reminds of the lady who honked at me and nearly knocked me over when I was riding my road bike. When we got to the next set of traffic lights, she wound down her window and told me I shouldn't be on the road because I was a cyclist and in her way...

This was despite the fact I was in the cycle lane on the road and I was doing more than the speed limit - and keeping up with the traffic. Which is what I pointed out.

She then obviously was very annoyed and then went absolutely berserk when I told her she shouldn't have been on the road as her car had no registration, no warrant of fitness (an annual roadworthiness certificate) and that the two tires I could see were bald.

She then said "What are you going to do about it c**t?!!!" before she drove off.

At the time I was working for the local municipality - So I finished my ride to the office and went upstairs to the traffic department, logged on, checked the details of her registration off her licence plate and issued two tickets totalling $350, put them in an envelope and mailed them off to her.

And felt better for it.

Even if that's not true, that's an awesome story!
