OK, it’s official. Traffic in Owensboro has gone off the deep end. I was driving up Barron Dr. yesterday and got tail-gated by a guy on a scooter.
I am not kidding. I saw the dude turn off Tamarack and zoom up to within 3 inches of my back bumper — I’m thinking “What are you gonna do, push me out of the way?” Dude was flashing his headlight at me! On a freakin’ scooter! And I’m already doing 40 in a 35!
SO I did what anybody in the same circumstance would do. I hit the brakes. Scooter-dude crashed into my tail and was catapulted over the top of my car. The good news is, I happened to be tail-gating a hay-wagon at the time, so he was OK. But if you’re looking for a project, I’ve got a nearly-new scooter that needs some work…
