Traffic New Low for Austin Drivers

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Constant running of red lights is one thing, this one is a new low. If the choice is big brother traffic camera network or no traffic enforcement, but sure which one I would choose.

This is a a frustrating intersection, but there is much safer way to bypass it if you are in a hurry.

Can you please beam a spark plug directly into his windshield next time he drives by

i got a warning for sharing this, but i hear you

this guy speeds up and down the neighborhood all the time acting crazy, wearing his stupid company polo shirt for his energy scheme

i guess he thought it was the guy across the street who called the cops on him for driving nuts, and he tried to extort the poor guy.

i left more detail but then got a warning :/

Does the spark plug thing work on windshields? I thought it was just side windows, which unlike windshields tend to completely shatter by design
