What a Jackass

Yesterday we had an assembly at school 9th period (the last period).  I appreciated this because 1) the auditorium is air conditioned and 2) because the auditorium is near the main entrance/exit.  Once the final bell rang, I bolted out the front door to my car, hoping to beat the buses and traffic on the LIE.  I get to the Northern State on the Sunken  Meadow and there's fucking traffic already!  It's only 2:30, what the fuck?

Then I see this asshole:


I guess he didn't see the myriad of signs stating that commercial vehicles are prohibited on the parkways and that there are low bridges.  He also failed to notice the sign right before the bridge (you can see it just to the right of the trailer) that says the bridge is only 11'6".

It's a good thing this happened so early.  I bet the road was cleared within an hour, in time for the normal cluster-fuck on a Friday afternoon.

Oh! One time on the way home from college I sat in traffic for about two hours on the Cross Island Parkway, which is only 10 miles long, because some jackass rented a U-Haul and got stuck in the underpass at the Southern State.  Some people...

I live in Boston and the main river road (Storrow Drive) has many, many signs stating that taller vehicles just can't drive there. However, that does not stop some people from trying.
