I-57 Bridge Closure IL/MO

Thank GOD that's over. I swear some of these "drivers" need to pick a different career before they kill themselves or someone else. Everything from making a right-hand turn from the go straight/left-turn lane (there's MORE than enough room to make the turn from the right-turn lane) to stopping their trucks on railroad tracks to entering the crossing AFTER the lights start flashing and the gates are coming down when you may or may not have room to clear the intersection due to traffic ahead being stopped...saw one driver #### near get the tail of the trailer taken off at 3 AM Wednesday as the gates bounced along the top of his trailer. He cleared the intersection without much time to spare...could have been ugly. Almost saw a truck get T-boned by another truck, too, after pulling out from a stop sign (cross traffic doesn't stop) to make the left turn.

Seriously. If you were one of those "drivers", you need to do us all a favor and just hang up the keys. I've gone YEARS without witnessing as many "close calls" as I did in 3 days this week.

 

Oh my that is horrid! I agree that those kind of drivers are not only stupid but highly inconsiderate of others! Where are the cops when you need them... sigh.
