There was a scene just like that at the Pasadena California DMV years ago After completing the road test the inspector told the Asian that just took the road test to pull in over here and we’ll go inside and get you your new license The Asian driver hit the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal and went right through the wall and into the furniture store next door I don’t think they got their drivers license that day After that happened a few more times in the next year or two the State installed steel poles in front of the wall to keep cars from crashing into the furniture store next-door….
This is classic "pedal misapplication". I'm guessing the driver later claimed that they were standing on the brakes as hard as they could. That's what they all say. There's probably a pretty good mark on that next wall too.
My Mexican neighbors (directly across the street).... who hold church services at their house every week.... have run over their and my mailbox three (3) times in 18 months.... plus there have been countless yard driving incidents.... the first time they denied hitting my mailbox.... but changed their driving habits to turn around and drive forward exiting.... the second time I implied that I was calling the police and they fixed it.
While standing in line to vote in the 1988 election in a Dallas Surburb, a police officer joined the line right behind by me carrying a long slide Glock 17.
While chatting with him about his weapon(he was on the department’s pistol team), I noticed that he kept yawning.
He related that he had worked 4 nights straight and was tired of hauling people into jail.
He said “I had 4 DWIs and 6 DWOs…”….
.DWOs I inquired..?
“Yeah….Driving While Oriental” he replied with a sligh smile.
"I asked for a gate to get closer to the stairs, but did I get it - Noooo !! Guess I have to do this myself ..."

DeleteLook close. Can you see the steel mesh on the far wall? Probably there to plug the newly installed entryway.
DeleteMaybe it's Biden's model for a Southern border wall.
ReplyDeleteAt least she kept it between the lines...
ReplyDeleteThe Asian lady that lives across the street takes out her mailbox at least once every year.

Keep an eye out for roadrunner feathers or some coyote fur at the scene. I’m pretty sure I know how this happened....

That red sign is in German. I didn’t see many Asians when I was in Germany, but I saw a lot of Turks.

Isn't that sign on the cart corral in German?
