lol, actually one incident was.. ppl slow infront of me, so i start passing like 1 car.. 2 car.. 6 cars on the turning lane going like 60 in a 35. (this was at night) and then i saw about a block down this car turning out of a parking lot into my traffic (it was parked facing me). i faintly cought a glimpse of reflective material on the side and i was like.. FK.. tats a cop, so i took a hard right into the neighborhood and like drove around hiding for a while XD...

for y'all austin folks, this was near the drag...

my co-worker joked with me saying why was i in a car chase last morning and ask if tats why i came in late XD....

there's nothing funnier then listening to reporters try to ad lib during car chases. The woman must have said "um" about 100 times.

pffffftttt, I see folks going the wrong way on one way streets downtown all the time, it's a wonder we don't have more serious accidents around here on the weekends.

So far the scariest one was going home at 2am down mopac one night, righyt around the town lake bridge area a car was heading north on the southbound lane, not only that but it entered mopac via the 5th street/1st street exit, if you've ever been south down mopac you'll know what I'm talking about, I can't imagine someone getting that far going the wrong way without getting taken out, especially since the 5th/1st street exit is a blind corner all the way up until it splits apart (yikes!) Whoever that was had some strong friends that night, or they would have made the paper the next day :lol;

He also had a felony warrant... which surely would have been noticed once they ran his license. Still a dumbass.

Now he's got more to keep him locked up for longer. Maybe he should have just worn a seatbelt.

He had a felony warrant out on him. He would have gone to jail anyway.

Note to self - if you have a felony warant PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON and DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT.

I think this goes to prove that your average criminal has a below average IQ.
