Only In Citrus County, Florida

So, I was sitting in traffic on route 75, minding my own business, while reading a book.  Yes, I know, having my nose in a book while I was technically “driving” is pretty random, it goes to show you exactly how bad the traffic was backed up.  I was stuck, not moving, for over 20 minutes. Didn’t move an inch.

All around me, there were people getting out of their cars, looking all around, and trying to figure out what to do.  Like Florida red ants, they all were getting out of their cars getting angrier and angrier about the traffic. I decided to put the book down and join them outside their cars to a little light chit chat.

Suddenly, a guy in a pickup truck two cars in front of me decides he’s had enough.

There was an on-ramp about 4 car lengths ahead of me, and Joe (I don’t really know his name, but Joe is a pretty big dumbass name), decides he’s going to put the petal to the metal and spin his tires in anger towards the on-ramp.  He’s going to show everyone just how tough he is by going the WRONG way down an on-ramp and escape from this traffic jam!

Great idea Joe!  You just didn’t happen to think, “Hmm, what if a police officer with his big blue emergency lights and siren blaring comes screaming at high speed the RIGHT way down the on-ramp and slams into me while I’m going the wrong way?”

Only in Citrus County.  The laughable images are below.  (Do I tag this in “Citrus County Cops” or “Silly Rednecks?”  Hmmm… both!)

Joe decided to be smart. Who even crashes into a cop?

Joe was totally an idiot.
