May 15, 2025 Stupid driver! Doesn’t even know which side is their left or right when they signal. You cannot make this up, they drove 5 mph in a freaking 30 zone! Even when I flashed my high beams and beeped, they did not go any faster. This kept a bunch of traffic behind us and many people beeping.
