Huh okay my A/C still blows cold so I'm gonna use it. Story for today: So I was driving along the two lane highway that goes through my area on my way to school when something somewhat unnerving happened. I stopped at the stop sign at the end of my street, let two cars pass, and then pulled out onto the 55mph two lane highway. I saw a MODoT truck on the shoulder of the oncoming lane that was just parked with its emergency lights flashing, so I figured that the highway crews were going to work on some sort of project. I couldn't have been more right. Further ahead, I saw another MODoT truck with lights flashing. His left side tires were partially over the center line so I thought he was maybe painting the road or something, so I moved over a bit and slowed down. As I got closer, I saw a yellow "OVERSIZE LOAD" banner across his bumper and he was waving his hand out his window, so I slowed much more expecting a semi with a big load. I came around a corner going perhaps 45 and right there in front of me was a police car driving almost entirely in the oncoming lane (my lane) with his lights and siren on. I jerked over clattering over the shoulder rumble strips hoping I wouldn't hit the curb. Behind the police car was indeed a semi carrying a gigantic pipe (not even as wide as two cars) covered by a red tarp, but his load was no more than a foot or two beyond the edge of the trailer. Behind the semi was two Tahoe interceptors with their lights on as well as another MODoT truck with a warning banner. Their train was being followed by 17 cars that had piled up from their slow speed. |
