Out of curiosity, is that giant red circle on the road or the map program? If the former, perhaps he was trying to use it as a roundabout, because that looks confusing as gently caress and I have no idea why it would be there.

Yeah it's real. It's just decorative brick, it doesn't really show up, especially when it's just before sunrise like when this incident took place.

Plus it was definitely intentional, it's not like the traffic light is hard to miss. He came to a stop, then flipped his turn signal on and made his "maneuver".

Plus floridians know fuckall about roundabouts.

This guy came to a stop, look around, flipped his signal on, then made a hard right (as if to actually make the turn) before cutting hard left, stopping AGAIN at the (now-red) light again, then making a right to continue on as normal.

I assure you it was not confusion about the intersection layout.

The people you share a road with:



My mom just found this on my windshield. Can't think of what provoked it; only thing I've done recently was follow some guys who blew around me at the stop sign in front of my house, about a month ago. I cooled off after a minute and turned around without doing anything, but maybe they remembered and are still pissed that someone didn't just bend over and accept them being pricks (they'd almost rear-ended me several times leading up to said stop sign trying to push me to speed, and were doing about 40 driving away from me. that's why i let off, i wasn't about to go that fast in a neighborhood just for vigilante justice).

Or maybe they just don't like aftermarket exhausts? :shrug: Either way, nice to have an enemy I guess.

I'd like to report this to the police but there's really nothing for them to record, is there?

E: Took another picture with timestamp and a brief description of the incident, just in case poo poo does escalate.

Remember kids, it's not entrapment if they do it of their own accord!

I got my initial lessons split between an ES300 and the MSP I now daily drive (and took my test in the Lexus), but I mostly cut my chops driving my dad's truck, a 94 Ram 2500 with the V10. 8 liters, 310hp and 450 lb*ft, which is embarrassingly close to the 240/420 out of the current 3L ecodiesel :laffo: And it was a king cab (because it partly served family hauler duty and this was before quad cabs were really ubiquitous) with an 8-foot bed (because it was also a legit work truck), so maneuvering it was an adventure for a new driver.

I remember being really impressed the first time I ever saw him take it all the way up to 90mph. Such an innocent time. :allears:
