Details

I was headed south on Kentuck Rd, in front of the Lorillard plant, when an impatient driver comes flying towards me like a bat out of hell and proceeds to tailgate me for a few hundred feet. There is a median strip with curbs, and grass in the middle, that was impeding him from getting around me. As soon as we passed the median, he zoomed around me, ignoring the double yellow lines, and sped off. The thing is, he only traveled six or seven hundred feet before braking hard, and turning into the parking lot at the Commordore Homes factory. I looked at my watch and it was 7:01, so he was obviously late for work. He was driving faster than he should have been in the parking lot as well.

If you’re running late for work, don’t endanger others with reckless driving! Get up earlier! I’m sure it makes a difference that you clocked in three minutes late as opposed to three minutes and fifteen seconds. At least you signaled when you turned.

Is this a place that builds homes?

No wonder the housing market is failing.

IDIOT!

Yes, they build modular homes. I've seen people late to work at this place quite a few times.

This was a two lane road by the way, with light traffic.

Seems like every time I post a wire, it involves illegal passing.
