I'd be curious as to how my car escaped from the garage and killed Santa Claus without a driver.

You'd have just totaled your scooter and pissed Santa off honey. 😉

No crack up but I did cast aspersions on some @$$4013's heritage that was talking on his @$@#$@$@ cell phone while trying to run me off the road.

Drivers are crazy! As a flagger I see so much distracted driving and just plain stupidity on the road its scary. I had to call out police one day because a lady ran my stop sign and then had to pull inside the cones because of oncoming traffic. She got out of her vehicle yelling at me that I was not standing in the right place (I was where I am supposed to be) so she didn't see me. I was in plain sight. She refused to get in her car and leave when asked several times so we called the police because it was unsafe for her and everyone else too for her to be there. Cops arrived and talked to her, telling her she was wrong and needed to leave. They couldn't ticket her because they did not see her run the stop sign. That's mild compared to some stuff that happens though, like the 24 year old woman flagger who was killed by a drunk driver. She was a single mom with an 8 year old. On the road stupidity is dangerous and sometimes deadly.
