Front-Row Seat to a Fender Bender

In a move that defies all driving logic, a woman managed to turn a routine traffic slowdown into an immediate accident investigation. While officers were already present in the area, the driver plowed her car directly into the back of the vehicle in front of her—right in full view of the cops. There was no need for the victims to call dispatch; law enforcement already had the perfect vantage point. Whether it was texting, distracted driving, or just a complete lack of situational awareness, slamming into someone directly in front of a cruiser guarantees an instant citation and a heavily documented insurance claim.

"Speed Racer" Grounded on Harpersville

Harpersville Road temporarily turned into a drag strip, but the checkered flag was a pair of red and blue lights. The local "Speed Racer" who was busted flying down the stretches of Harpersville has been located and stopped. Treating a local thoroughfare like a personal speedway is a quick ticket to an impound lot. The days of treating Harpersville like the Autobahn are over for this driver, proving once again that no matter how hard you hit the gas, you can't outrun the radio.
