Traffic Circling

Someone told me a story about a guy that I don’t know. But he must be some crazy chicken. He was drunk and found it was fun to drive through a traffic circle backwards. Around and around.

Unforseen, another car entered the circle – not assuming that someone would pace round backwards. It must have been a big BANG.

The driver called the police. Now it’s getting interesting… He told the officers what had happened: „That guy was speeding through the circle reverse and crashed here into the front of my car!“

Now, imagine you were a police officer. ‚In reverse? Is that what you’re saying? He came backwards and crashed your car?’ Finally, the cops could absolutely not believe that someone would ride the wrong way backwards in the middle of the night and tested the guy on alcohol – positive.

That means: the guy who I don’t know got away with crashing his car drunk into another while riding reverse through a traffic circle at night. He got refund from the insurance and the other poor guy had to pay fees for drunk driving, for his rugged car and had to hand in his license for at least a few months. And why? Because he had one or two drinks and what happened to him was so unrealistic that the cops would not believe him.
