I call this Vindicated cause at first I yelled at this woman, but started to get guilty afterwards until this happen...

“VINDICATED”


 


A woman in her early hundreds,


Or so she looked,


Drove her car with a companion of wine,


She cut off many,


No signals to any.


 


Seems she didn’t care how others fared,


As long as she got from here to there,


Her comeuppance she finally got,


While trying to make a right out of a left lane,


This time in front of a fully loaded truck.


 


Not the truck drivers fault, as he could not stop on a dime,


No she didn’t die; she was as drunk as a skunk on the wine,


But her car and her license she did lose, this time!

Good expression of the events that took place. Its okay to admit some things piss us off.

Shame.. One of these days someone will die.. People like her don't stop driving .. even without a permitt. No need to feel guilty.. Hope they caught her.
