quattro Digest, Vol 2, Issue 144 - Idiot drivers, was: You'll never know how much you'll miss your Q...

[Larry C. Leung]

Idiots live in other parts of the US, too. For example, in the suburban
north of NYC
area on Monday, the day after the 2nd winter storm of this season (a mere
5", mind 
you), I passed what looked like a rolling igloo on the Palisades
Interstates Pkwy. 
All that was truely uncovered was the driver's side windshield, and a
portion of 
the driver's front window. The driver DID have their lights on (there
were red-ish
spashes out the back, and 4 round whitish splashes out the front, oh,
it's a bimmer!),
not like they'd help (fortunately, I think, it was daylight), somehow I
don't think snow
lenses have too effective a lighting pattern. The best part, the driver
was doing around 
55 MPH, slightly weaving (gee, I guess it's hard to tell where the lane
markings are
when, well, what lane markings, the whole world must've looked white
through that
windshield!) while yacking on a hand held cell phone......

LL - NY - yeah, try and top that one!
