AHHHHHHH yes Friday night in my town. just your ordinary upper Mid-west Wisconisn smallish town. and then there are the dumbasses who drive drunk (at the very least impared by something).
I get home after working the almost closing late driver shift. I do ordinary things like change clothes and decide what to eat. I am sitting in the living room with my GF and all of a sudden:
BOOM BOOM BOOM
like someone has set of 3 M-80s in a row nearby
we both look at each other and say "WTF was that????" I open the front door and see a car slowly backing out of the neighbors driveway turn and pull away to the next street and turn. I go back inside and get my glasses and go outside. but by then the car is gone.
I walk down the sidewalk a little ways toward the neighbors garage and see a BIG streak of oil in the street and in the neighbors driveway.
Now I live accross the street from a HS and their parking lot borders the street I live on. this parking lot is mostly enclosed by a wooden fence.
now the oil streak leads back to the middle of a section of fence. I notice that a section of the fence is now almost in the middle of the street. one of my other neighbors comes walking around the corner and we both go to investigate.
It seems that someone had driven their car through the HS parking lot (ignoring the outlet driveway, hit the curb (thus ripping or severely damaging their oil pan and possilbly doing major damage to their front end), jumped the curb, crashed through the fence, over the sidewalk, down the curb on this side and straight INTO the neighbors driveway stopping literally 2 feet away from the garage.
about 3 or 4 minutes later I see a couple of cop cars with flashers going traveling at high speed toward the nearest major intersection.
inorder for all of the above to occur the driver had to have been traveling a far speed. I think what happened is that the driver entered the parking lot from a street that sort of deadends into the HS parking lot (maybe ignoring the flashing red light there), hit the parking lot, picked up speed and misjudged where the exit was and drove straight into the fence.
and people wonder why I really dislike doing delivery at 1 or 2 am on a Friday or Saturday night. after 10 pm on those night I get REALLY paranoid about the traffic (sparce as it may be) on the road.
