It Probably Occurs More Often Than Anyone Can Imagine

 

This afternoon at 4:00, I was biking on Warren directly behind an eastbound white Jeep as we approached the red light at 4th Street.  The driver barely stopped, failed to signal, and took a right turn to head the wrong way on 4th with no vehicles headed their way.  The driver made it to Union without encountering any oncoming vehicles, stopping as if they wanted to turn right, once again with no signal.  At the same time, an eastbound car on Union turned very awkwardly and widely onto 4th, barely avoiding a collision.  The Jeep then made the turn onto Union without incident.

About 5 hours earlier, I came across an empty car parked on the wrong side of the 500 block of Warren Street.

Moments later, as the driver was getting into her car, I asked her if she was aware that she had parked on the wrong side of the street.  "I was only here for two minutes," she responded, as if that made it acceptable.  And off she went, without incident or ticket, and without much of a conscience.
