This was taken at the Marathon gas station where University BLVD meets Toms Creek. Evidentally someone thought that they could jump the ledge. Ahh…welcome back tech students. It’s going to be a great year… LOL!

The pictures explain everything

Not sure what happened here

bkincer — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:17:00 +0000

It was just too dark

bkincer — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:05:19 +0000

Almost got it!

bkincer — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:00:49 +0000

At least he tried…Or wait, maybe he didn’t

Mine!

Apparently this person thinks they are a VIP or something.

Pull Up Grandma!

bkincer — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 17:54:38 +0000

As you can see, this old lady is not pulled up to the stop bar. This causes a whole lot of traffic to be held up because the light is not being tripped. Watch as we sit through our 5th cycle of the traffic light.

Botetourt County Sheriff Speeding

bkincer — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 02:18:39 +0000

While on my way home one night I was going through a 55 MPH zone when a Botetourt County Sheriff decided to take advantage of his badge and break the law he is sworn to enforce. As you can see in the video I am doing Approxamately 55 MPH and the officer flies past me. I decided to speed up but careful to keep my distance to try to prove a point and capture it on video while in the process. At about the 1:35 mark in the video you will see speed limit signs on both sides of the road. This is the point where we entered a 45 MPH zone. As you can see however, we are still doing a speed of about 60 MPH. Clearly this officer is exceeding the speed limit. While he was stopped at the red light I quickly snapped a shot of his license plates (Which has been blurred for legal reasons here) so that I could report him to his local department. That picture is located right below the video.

Now I do understand that some may argue that this officer could have been responding to some kind of emergency but I have two reasons to believe that was not the case here. (1) Please read the VA code which is quoted below and (2) He stops at a red light and waits for it to turn green before proceeding through it,

§ 46.2-920. Certain vehicles exempt from regulations in certain situations; exceptions and additional requirements.

A. The driver of any emergency vehicle, when such vehicle is being used in the performance of public services, and when such vehicle is operated under emergency conditions, may, without subjecting himself to criminal prosecution:

B. The exemptions granted to emergency vehicles by subsection A of this section shall apply only when the operator of such vehicle displays a flashing, blinking, or alternating emergency light or lights as provided in §§ 46.2-1022 and 46.2-1023 and sounds a siren, exhaust whistle, or air horn designed to give automatically intermittent signals, as may be reasonably necessary, and, only when there is in force and effect for such vehicle either (i) standard motor vehicle liability insurance covering injury or death to any person in the sum of at least $100,000 because of bodily injury to or death of one person in any one accident and, subject to the limit for one person, to a limit of $300,000 because of bodily injury to or death of two or more persons in any one accident, and to a limit of $20,000 because of injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident or (ii) a certificate of self-insurance issued pursuant to § 46.2-368. Such exemptions shall not, however, protect the operator of any such vehicle from criminal prosecution for conduct constituting reckless disregard of the safety of persons and property. Nothing in this section shall release the operator of any such vehicle from civil liability for failure to use reasonable care in such operation.

Now I just have two questions:
Do you see any lights or hear any sirens? and What would happen if I had passed him like he did me?

Your comments please!

I Need Over!

While riding on a city bus one day the bus driver had to literally slam on the brakes to keep from hitting this idiot who decided at the last minute he needed to turn. No turn signal or anything he just comes across a lane of traffic and expects everyone to yield for him. What an idiot!

Just Plain Inconsiderate

bkincer — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:08:50 +0000

Someone please tell me why people do this?

A Permit To Park Anywhere?

bkincer — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:00:08 +0000

He must think his handicapped parking permit allows him to park anywhere.

Thats What Ya Get!

bkincer — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:53:15 +0000

This dummy was doing donuts in the snow on a vacant parking lot when he took a turn too sharply and slid right into a curve that was hidden by snow. Lucky for him, the curve did not puncture his tire but just simply knocked it off the rim.

How inconsiderate can you be?

bkincer — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 23:13:29 +0000

Just because this driver was not considerate enough to stop before the intersection, we had to sit through a green light. Does he/she really think that by blocking the intersection they will get to their destination any faster? What an idiot!

Its OK, People Can Just Drive Around Me

She Must Have Been Really Hungry

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 17:12:32 +0000

The lady driving this car came really close to driving right into a Denny’s

Oops!

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 16:48:25 +0000

It probably would have been more considerate of him to just proceed through the rest of the intersection.

I Think The Message Is Clear

Two Busts In One Picture

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 16:30:30 +0000

This picture was taken for two reasons. The first being that this car does not have handicap parking privileges and the second obviously because he isn’t even in the parking space.

Am I beautiful?

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 16:16:29 +0000

As you can see… This gas station was fairly busy. While patiently waiting to use a gas pump I couldn’t help but notice this lady sitting at one gas pump for over 20 minutes putting on her make up.

I didn’t see the lines

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 16:02:33 +0000

This truck is actually taking up four parking spaces. The lines must have not been bright enough for him to see.

Im Too Big For Just One Space

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 15:47:45 +0000

This parkin lot ain’t big enough for the both of us. Just me…

I wonder what the kids are thinking…

bkincer — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 15:34:25 +0000

Its a good thing that this bus has a strobe light on top of it!
