This happened while I was snow plowing for the city of Milwaukee one morning. Around 4am on a Friday I was pushing snow towards oncoming traffic. No big deal, there was 1 or 2 cars that went around me all morning. Well, this idiot came screaming down the road about 45mph and slammed right square into me. I saw him 2 blocks away but thought nothing of it. I assumed he would go around me. This kid was so drunk and really high driving a stolen car with no insurance. This is our future........ When the police told me I could leave and was not a fault, I picked up the car and dumped it out. That was so awsome.

Hmm, this gives new meaning to "a moth driven to a flame". Would that be "a drunk driven to the loader lights"? That fella centered that bucket.

Drunk drivers always like to follow other peoples tail lights, this guy was following the wrong set of lights.

Local, what part of milwaukee do you work in? Im from the Whitefish Bay area and it would be really cool to see how an experienced operator works in person.
