I was driving home from work around 6AM dark winter morning when I noticed one of the lamp posts that tower over the highway just after a bridge had fallen across the highway fully blocking the paved bit.
Then someone in a early 2000"s Toyota Corolla flew by me speeding just as I noticed this so I didn’t even have time to flick my hazards on. It’s an 80 zone briefly then 100 once the merge lanes end.
That person smoked the metal lamp post going ~120 km/hr and ramped off it going airborne all tires in the air, sliding the lamp post back off the road clearing the way. The car hit the ground throwing a sheet of sparks as the underbody was grinding on the asphalt briefly.
The person in the car didn’t seem react at all besides speeding up even more, disappearing into the distance. Their car must’ve made it home because I didn’t see them broken down before entering the city or any oil slicks.
Edit: I’ll add a couple more stories as I remember them.
When I was a kid and a methed out semi truck driver laughing manically with a long white beard was trying to run my family off the road in the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan. My uncle got in front of the trucker and forced him to slow down so we could escape. Trucker was unwilling to damage vehicles.
Or when a homeless guy threatened to shoot me when I was a teen at 10AM in a Panago Pizza joint when he brought in an unmarked brown pizza box and declared he had found hair in his pizza and I didn’t believe him. We didn’t use unmarked boxes and nobody had even ordered pizza yet, we hadn’t start taking orders yet we were doing morning prep and dough still. My Lebanese boss overheard the death threat and chased the guy down the street. The building is next door to a police headquarters. Cops came out because my boss was screaming at the guy while chasing him around. To this day I wonder where he even got a totally unbranded blank pizza box, the grocery store deli boxes are all marked too! A total mystery.
If the guy had just said he was hungry instead of trying to scam, for sure my devoutly Islamic boss would’ve made him a pizza for free, it was a small town with barely any homeless people living there at the time so not a regular occurence.
