[9:53 PM EST - Driving Conditions: Older Asian female SUV drivers..]

Derelict and I went out shopping after work for something. On the way there, we had stopped at the intersection to the highway. There was a lot of traffic and the road we were crossing had cars stopped in the intersection. This happened occasionally and it didn't bother me. But once the light was about to change, I noticed something on the on ramp head: white lights.

Now this meant either one of two things: Either a car was backing up the (three lane) on ramp to the highway, or a car was driving the wrong way up a (three way) on ramp to the highway. Both possibilities didn't sound very good. Derelict was actually at the head of the column and I was right behind, so I couldn't see all of the details, but I could see through his rear mirror and saw this SUV cut across the road and end up facing our way in our lane as we approached.

I could see Derelict waving the other driver to turn around him so that we could pass (the way was clear) but the car would not budge. I was most surprised by the fact that Derelict (nor anyone else in our column) didn't lean on the horn.

We sat there until the light turned red, at which point the few cars that were stuck in the intersection drove around this wayward vehicle and proceeded down to the highway. I could see that the lady was talking on her cell phone. Nice.
