Moron Patrol
Posted on September 6th, 2006 – 3:05 PMBy Roadguy
Moron, I believe, is the most profane word we’ll be allowed to use here at Roadguy to describe the drivers who drive us crazy. But at least we can vent visually, if not obscenely. So grab those digi-cams and phone cams and capture a Moron today.
To start things off, I recently went out the front door of Roadguy headquarters before a Minnesota Twins game at the Metrodome. Any half-hour before a game is prime Moron-hunting time, not because Twins fans are particularly dense (at least I hope not, because I am one), but because they’re so excited about the wild card race that they forget the rules of the road. Witness this bit of witlessness on the light-rail tracks:

I whited out this guy’s license plate to protect the guilty. But really, if one chooses to ignore numerous signs (including the two on the pole that say DO NOT DRIVE ON TRACKS and DO NOT CROSS TRACKS), and one decides to cross a yellow line and drive up a small curb and pause on the aforementioned tracks, then one’s Moron-ness deserves to be documented in Roadguy.
There’ll be more of these posts as Roadguy gets on with the important task of shaming our fellow Minnesotans into better, safer and less Moronic driving. Feel free to send in your contributions — unless, of course, it’s a picture of me doing something stupid….
