Driving Miss Crazy, Part 2
(We’ve had to close down a road due to a car crash in a snow storm. Fire trucks and ambulances are there with lights flashing to block the road. I’m at one side of the street directing traffic.)
Driver: *slows down looking at the scene* “What happened?”
Me: “Accident, ma’am. Please keep moving.”
Driver: “Can I go down the street? It’s a shortcut.”
Me: “The road is closed, but you need to keep moving. You are going to cause another accident.”
Driver: “I didn’t cause any accident! I’m a good driver. How dare you imply that I’m not?! I’m just trying to get home. Why are you being so rude?! I will have your badge, you little b****!”
Me: “Ma’am, if you are not going to move then you need to pull to the side of the road now!”
Driver: “I pay your salary! You are supposed to help people! Don’t you want me to get home? I have a family, you know!”
Me: “Ma’am, if you do not pull to the side of the road right now or drive away I am going to arrest you.”
Driver: “Fine!”
(With that, she drives straight down the closed street and nearly hits me. Due to all the snow she loses control and crashes into one of the parked cruisers.)
Driver: “This is all your fault! Why didn’t you tell me the road was closed?!”
