In Russia, Beware of Tanks

In Russia, the drivers are crazy!  You have to watch out for drunk drivers, crazy drivers, angry drivers and stupid drivers.  Then you have to also watch out for insane motorcyclists, bicyclists and stupid pedestrians.  Don't forget the dogs, cows and horses! And now, you have to watch out for tanks.  That's Right, TANKS!!!

Learn to Drive People!

So I was driving in the middle lane of a three lane street today (as in three one way, three the other way). I was the only one around for like a block, both in front of and behind. This lady coming from a perpindicular street starts a right turn onto my street about 100 feet in front of me. Now I don't like when people turn onto my street when I'm that close... and this is why; I don't know if she didn't see me or thought I was going like 2 miles an hour because she got RIGHT INTO MY LANE!!!!!!!! There was no one on either side of me! She could have gotten into either of the other two lanes, but she chose MY lane. And you might think, so what? well SHE decides not to accelerate, at all. I had to slam on my brakes to not hit her. It's not like I was going that fast. So I go around her and give her the ugliest look ever, as in if I had my windows down, I might have thrown something at her, I was so angry. You might ask, "Did she know she did it?", well when I was passing her, she had on the most oblivious face, as if nothing just happened. So my point of this entry is that people suck at driving.

Talk About Karma

So I was driving around downtown Des Moines this this morning and I was stopped at a red light.

I was second in line, a plain white car was in front of me.
The street I was waiting to cross was one way (Trust me, this is relevant)
I noticed a woman off to the right, half on her street/half turned onto our street.  The problem was her light was already yellow. 
My light turned green.
The lady tried to beat us to through the intersection, ended up swinging way wide and cutting off the driver in front of me.
The person in front of me tapped his horn to acknowledge her shitty driving.
Crazy lady driver gave him the finger...
Then lights in the back window and probably in the front bumper began to flash and I hear a siren. 

Turns out the plain white car in front was an unmarked police car.  I kind of thought so because of the license plate with all numbers and several antennas on top of the car. 

All I could think about was Karma.  The lady got what she deserved!
