''Driving Miss''...Crazy!
NB, One swear word used by bystander whose hubby rescued the toddler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XraxT3wItZY&t=10s
''Byron, Georgia — On Friday July 15, 2022 Byron Police officers were given a look out on a SUV driving reckless on GA Hwy 42 coming into town. The caller said the vehicle was driving into the other lane almost hitting oncoming traffic. When the vehicle got to the intersection of Hwy 42 and Hwy 49 witnesses blocked the vehicle in. Byron Police officers arrived on scene and attempts were made to talk to the driver and she was uncooperative and would not talk to officers or respond to commands. Officers placed Stop Sticks under her tires to deflate the tires if she drove off. After several minutes the driver backed into a car stopped behind her and then pulled forward hitting a Byron Police officer and a Byron Police car.
The driver then backed up again and pulled forward hitting two witnesses and another Byron Police car and drove going north on Hwy 49 with one flat tire from the Stop Sticks. Officers attempted to block the car and she backed into a third Byron Police Car then drove forward hitting a Byron Police car for the second time causing serious damage to the car. The suspect continued on Hwy 49 for a short distance where Byron Officers were able to block her in and take her into custody. The driver was identified as 24-year-old Sierra Hibbert of Warner Robins, GA. She also had a small child with her that was not hurt in the incident. No officers or citizens were injured seriously in the incident. The Peach County Sheriffs assisted during the incident and is handling the investigation and criminal charges against Hibbert.''

Re: ''Driving Miss''...Crazy!
Now had she used run flat tires it could have had a different ending.
But it looked a bit like some mad Hollywood car chase, maybe 'The Joker goes to Hollywood"


Happy daze John in Oz.

Marin.
Watched one last night from America, There had been a car breakdown on the motorway and a tow truck was sitting there with its back tray down when this woman came speeding along the Highway, she went up the tray of the truck over the top and hit the road the other side and continued for some meters, she wasn't hurt, neither did she pass her pilots liscence.

#2, Saw that one too Des! Some real fruitcake drivers out there.
Mind you having said that did not enjoy driving much in France, Italy or Spain. Too many impatient drivers in small nippy cars weaving in and out of traffic with horns ablazing. The links available for some Asian and Russian drivers are though IMHO in a league of their own!
