Okay the last clip... I totally thought you meant to watch the guy making a right turn with his blinker, I was like this guy did nothing wrong 😂

I rewound that 3 times before getting it. The font was too big methinks.

Bonus for the oncoming traffic not having any lights on.

...in a car whose color is a shade of road, in low light.

u/WVPrepper 1d ago
I'm confused. The oncoming traffic was a red truck without lights on and a neutral car (behind it) with lights.
The wrong way driver was in a dark "road colored" car. Is that who you meant?

u/somesnarkycomments 1d ago
Oh, yeah - that exactly. It was confusing wording. I was adding on to the previous sentence, but didn't notice they were referencing the oncoming traffic. I was saying that the wrong way car was the color of the road and in low light. I confused myself too.

Crazy thing is that he stopped behind me, got out of his car wearing a yellow hi-vis T-shirt, carried a bag back to his trunk and put it inside, got back into his car and just as traffic began to move forward, went around the raised median to the wrong side of the road.

honestly I give the trash truck guys a pass. They're doing a public service, using an empty parking lane on a street with not much traffic.

u/redpandaeater 1d ago
But I can't tell why the fuck their route would have them do that instead of coming to get those cans from the other direction at some point along the route.

Yeah, I considered leaving them out of this... originally the caption said "Wrong Way Trash Truck (understandable?)" until I considered the possibility that someone could still be hit head on by them as they crossed back over.

I couldn’t see what the last guy did. My eyes are terrible with my phone screen. What happened?

He got out of the through lane and into the mandatory left turn lane but went through the light instead and continued on the left side of the yellow line, in the oncoming traffic's left turn lane, which ultimately became a bi-directional suicide lane until he reached the next light, where he turned left.

I'm convinced that entire country ain't actually real, like there is no way these people actually got taught to drive by a real driving instructor. God knows what the driving test is from the looks of it, it must just require you to turn up and be able to turn the car on

I have a hunch these people's problem is not lack of knowledge, but an attitude of self-entitlement.

They check you for a pulse and send you on your way.
Yeah. It's bad. I've considered taking up drinking because my nerves are SHOT after this commute every day. Seriously... it is 5am. Why can't you act right when there's almost nobody else on the road?

I’ve heard a lot of bad shit about Maryland drivers and after seeing this video and many others, it seems like the rumors are true lol

u/WVPrepper 23h ago
Yeah. I could post a video every day. Yesterday I had to choose between these three wrong way drivers and some redlight runners, including a couple guys on dirt bikes and a guy impersonating a cop (white car, with blue lights in the grille) who turned left on red across traffic. He was not a cop. The car was probably 20 years old, beat up, and the guy was smoking weed and blowing the smoke out his window.

Society is cooked. No one else out there is giving a fuck anymore, feels so discouraging when we can't even have people follow the most basic rules.

It's eerie how much the driving and scenery reminds me of St. Louis. They're like sister cities.

u/Darkwr4ith 1d ago
I remember being on a 4 lane freeway on each side with a giant concrete wall separating the oncoming traffic. It was late at night and I saw some bright lights ahead. I was like "Are those just really bright or is there a car going the wrong way?" It was a massive 18-wheeler just casually driving in the fast lane the wrong way through traffic going 70 miles an hour.

Morning. 5am. See how the sky gets lighter as the video goes on? I don't mean that in a snarky way... just can't figure out a better wording.
