What could possibly go wrong?

Shouldn’t this be in the Florida Man thread?

I hope the "18-year-old Spanish-speaking youth" is okay.

He blames a blinking yellow turn light for causing some of the problems.

 

Sure, blame the light and not the kid driving too fast.

The business owner said there's been 67 accidents at that intersection since he's been there.  I looked up his business and he's been there for 20 years.  That's a lot of accidents.

That poor Jaguar...

There’s a pizza joint on a cute little square near us I like to hit for lunch. In nice weather I like to eat on the sidewalk of the corner location. The north/south street doesn’t line up quite right. When you cross the east/west street you have to jog over about 15 feet. They have dotted lane lines for the two lanes going north/south, but people tend to ignore them. 

 

There’s almost a 50% chance that I’ll hear at least one horn honk during my time there, and I’ve seen/heard at least a couple accidents. It is inherently dangerous, but I don’t know what more they could do. People need to pay attention! The good news is you are going slow and it’s just fender benders. Nobody is going to stand a car on end at this sleepy little intersection……unless you are a complete idiot…..like this kid.

Maybe the blinking light was Morse code for “drive too fast, drive too fast”…

LEESBURG — A Jaguar estimated to be traveling more than 100 mph slammed into a Cadillac Escalade at the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and U.S. Highway 441/27 Monday evening,

And here I thought it might have been  Leesburg Virginia

There is a "Leesburg" in 6/11 US States that seceded from The Union.  BOY, they sure like to honor that fella down there! 😉 

 

[Well, there's a Leesburg Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky... AND what da heck is one doing in Idaho!]

Well, take that off the list of good places to retire!

My dad retired to the Leesburg FL area. A lot of very nice retirement communities in that area, including The Villages. But Leesburg itself is an armpit of a town. But you can get some terrific Mexican food there.

Sort of like Nazis in Argentia.

Hopefully the kid is on and learns to slow down.
