On my way home from work the other day I encountered an individual I believe needs to be pimp slapped.
I was minding my own buisiness traveling a road I frequent, twice daily. When out of now where a woman riding what I believe to be a motor scooter blows a two way stop right in front of me. Now take into consideration I was at highway speeds. Apperently she doesn't realize that just because she is not operating a car or truck the stop sign applies to her. As if this wasn't bad enough take a guess what she had in her arms. Give up? A baby, no joke she had a baby in her arms riding a moped blowing a stop. Following her not far behind was what I observed to be a 9 or 10 year old girl on a 10spd, possibly her daughter or a relative of some sort. Here is the amuzing part of the story, apperently the little girl had more common sense than the adult and stopped at the intersection before proceeding with the adult looking back in horror as if the child was a stupid as she was. Though I was alert enough to slow down avoiding the near tragedy I still couldn't believe my own eyes.
Well here is my point. I believe the woman on the scooter, or moped what ever, should be served a dose of the "Pimp Hand".

Blowing it out of proportion, are you kidding me? She made a mistake are you kidding me? She didn't bounce a check or forget to give her kids lunch money. She tried nearly took on a 3500 pound car doing 60mph with a moped and nearly cost a childs life. If it had been just her big deal live and learn, but common. When you are responsible for a life esspecially a childs life you take no chances. That was the same thing as allowing a child access to a loaded gun.
