We have dumb drivers, dumber drivers, but today I saw the dumbest one. This person apparently had car trouble of some kind. The four-way flashers were on, and the driver was going exceptionally slow. Maybe the indicator panel was indicating some kind of engine problem, and the driver thought by driving slow he was not taking any chances. (Ha!) Anyway this driver was on a secondary road when I first saw the car. Then the driver did the damned dumbest thing I have ever seen and took the entrance ramp and got on the interstate doing 30 mph with the flashers going, in the middle of rush hour with traffic trying to do 65 mph. You have heard of "shit for brains", well this person had the entire septic tank for brains. First, there was a secondary road that paralleled the interstate that this driver could have used, instead of risking everyone's life on the interstate. Second, why would anyone with some kind of engine problem keep driving their vehicle? They are risking its complete destruction. There is a new saying in town, "Watch out for low flying septic tanks".
