Default Just when I thought.....

it was safe to go into the water, I just witnessed another first. We all know to watch carefully when going by a tunnel exit on the MMPs, since some cart drivers just shoot out and ignore the stop sign. But 1/2 hr. ago traveling south on the BV MMP, just south of Liberty Park a tunnel intersects. What I didn't expect was a SUV shooting out of the tunnel. So, to the nice lady with short blond hair driving the white SUV, you don't look old enough to be senile (yes, I got a good look since you were only 3 feet away), so may I presume you are an imbecile? I have no idea how you got on that particular segment of MMP, but you must have been driving on it some distance, but crossing under BV in a tunnel is something the man from Guinness should consider putting in his record book. I hope you got wherever you were going safely, and didn't kill anyone along the way. Please consider never getting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle EVER again.

Well, I feel a lot better about being the guy with the turn signal always blinking.

Better question is: What is it's turning radius?

That is what my husband said.

Glad she missed you. Dear Lord.

I have seen a few auto on the MMP but never coming out of a tunnel. As i recollect the tunnel in question does not contain any speed bumps because if it had this woman's roof would have been damage and she may have ended up with a headache.

Not sure---it was more of a mini SUV crossover than a full size SUV

Perhaps I've underestimated the driver. After all, those turns into a tunnel are tough in a cart, much less a car. Of course, when you take up both lanes it's easier.
