Keywords: Hurricane Rita Evacuation ambulance 2.jpg In this picture the dishonest cheaters took advantage of the fact that a rescue ambulance was speeding through with sirens by grouping into at least 40 cars and following the ambulance passing the law abiders in the right lane Later a few of them were seen speaking with police officers up the road Let's hope they got what they deserved P Constantly during the evacuation on two-way highways people would take over the other lanes causing some head-on collisions Even if the cutters didn't get in a wreck or cause one they still ultimately slowed the flow of traffic because they had to merge back into the right lane at some point and others were forced to allow them pass The general attitude towards these cheaters was very hostile from both directions of traffic Curses and car-to-car hand signals see w middle finger were exchanged The cars would form in convoys usually led by an especially heavy duty vehicle such as an eighteen-wheeler or a 4x4 truck at least to ensure that if they got in a collision casualties would be minimum for their side this was not the case for the people who wrecked into them Additionally alliances were formed between the many periods with no movement to stop the cheaters and cars would make plans to swirve in front of people who tried to pass or not let them through when they tried to merge often causing an accident or at least causing a backup in the lane of oncoming traffic or to occupy the shoulder as well as the lane as a way of not letting them cut Preparations for Hurricane Rita |
