Crash

On my way to the post office today I saw a car in front of me drive entirely up on the curb in the right lane, then over-correct and cross the line when rebounding back the other way. Unsure if the driver was drunk or just an idiot, I sped up to pass the car before we hit the next red light, where I could potentially be stuck next to it. As I passed, the situation became clear: 60ish woman yapping away on a cell phone. Nice.

Then on the way back, I really narrowly averted disaster. Just as I was heading toward a red light with a three-way stop, a car from the perpendicular street slammed head-on into a car in front of them, sending that car spinning out into the street, where it bumped into a third car...not far from me. Yikes. When did people forget how to drive?
