Dear Idiot Out-of-Town-Visitor:

[Pixilated]

The reason we nearly had a head-on collision is because you missed the nice little arrow at the intersection that indicated this is a one-way street, down which you are currently travelling in the wrong direction.

I'm wondering if you glared as angrily at the next three or four cars that you nearly hit, or whether at some point your little brain actually started functioning and suggested that maybe, just maybe, you should get off this street as quickly as possible ...

Oh joy. How long do you think it took for them to figure it out?

Were they on a cell phone?

Luckily it's a short road -- it curves and turns into an intersection, and it also becomes a two-direction road past the intersection. So in a very few minutes, he would've been either on another road or on a two-direction street.

Were they on a cell phone?

I didn't see one and believe me, we passed VERY close to each other! IIRC he was gripping the steering wheel with both hands -- and glaring angrily at me.

An elderly woman is at home watching the TV when a breaking news report comes on about a car driving the wrong way on the highway. Concerned because her husband should currently be driving on that road she calls him...

Her: Honey! Be careful! There's someone driving the wrong way on the highway!

Him: Someone!?! They're ALL DRIVING THE WRONG WAY!

Hah! Sounds like where I live. A fair amount of the roads are all one way roads. Scares the shit out of me whenever I see someone who is driving in the wrong direction; especially if it's a large vehicle. Though, it is extremely humorous to see the cops going full tilt after them.
