Let's face it...gas prices have caused a few people to do some stupid shit.
Deciding to drive a scooter to work to save gas.
Last week, I saw a guy riding a scooter that was not going more than 25. He was wearing a suit as if he was heading to the office. Some people are willing to put themselves in danger in order to save a few bucks.
A friend's relative also decided to buy a small motorcycle to save gas. He was riding out by Albertville when a deer hopped out in front of him and he crashed. His dad who was following him, saw it happen and called 911. The police called an air rescue copter and they rushed him to North Mem. He wasn't wearing a helmet, so the road rash ripped the hair off half of his head, he suffered a concussion, punctured a lung, 4 broken ribs and his left arm is mangled. My question? How much $$$ in gas did he save?
People are driving econoboxes to save a few bucks.
I was on the way to work the other day when I pulled up behind a junky Wrangler Jeep at a metered ramp. This woman had her two kids in the back seat. They were 8-10 years old. I thought to myself that if they were hit in the rear...the kids would be seriously hurt or worse. . I would never put my kids in that type of danger. But...people are willing to put their kids in danger to save a few dollars. The kids aren't able to make decisions for themselves...they have to go along for the ride. They trust that their parents will keep them safe.
I've heard people brag about how safe these econoboxes are. These people obviously don't see the whole picture, because even if they are 5 star crash test rated...they won't win against a larger vehicle in a crash. Again....some people are willing to put their lives in danger to save at the gas pump.
Ok...I've vented enough for today
