Some individuals do weird things
This morning around 10.45 I was driving North along Smith Street, Collingwood when I noticed a 4 WD on the other side of Smith Street in the Southbound traffic lane. “So what ?”, I hear you cry. The first thing which struck me was that the 4 WD was stationary, not moving. The second thing which struck me (with a bit of a shock) was that there was no driver sitting at the steering wheel of the 4 WD. As I drove further down Smith Street towards the Johnson Street traffic lights, I looked in my rear view mirror and could see Southbound motorists banking up behind the stationary 4 WD. It was clear that the Southbound motorists assumed that there was a driver sitting in the 4 WD who had paused in Smith Street for some reason. As I watched, I could see Southbound motorists very slowly and cautiously pulling out and around the stationary 4 WD and continuing their journey Southbound. I know what you’re thinking. “The 4 WD had broken down. What’s the big deal ?” Well, here’s the rub. There was no sign of the driver of the 4 WD anywhere near the 4 WD. Go figure.
