the 2012 trivial drivel thread

That was scary. Driving some kids home on a residential street and I pass a CRV going the other direction. It does a skidding u-turn so it's about a 1/10^th of a mile behind me. I make a left at a school field where a bunch of people (mostly teens) are hanging out and I see the CRV come barreling down the road like a bullet and it jumps the curb but then slams to a stop. It must have been going at least 40. Somebody shoved a woman and her baby out of the way. Baby scraped, mother hysterical (I wrapped her up in a hug and just kept telling her the baby was ok, she must have been so scared etc.). Immediately after it jumped the curb and stopped, the driver backed up and took off the way they'd come. Kind of wished I'd followed instead of stopping but not a good idea with kids in the car. It looked like the driver aimed at the group.

Gave my witness statements. If any of the teens there knew the driver, they weren't saying (I asked before the cops got there).

Hope they catch the fucker. I'm amazed no one was actually hit.
