Doug looked askew at the steaming car planted in the shrub and shrugged. “Like I said officer, guy never slowed down. Couldn’t hear him over the music, some old rock I think, round and round something. He was laughing though. Probably high. Darn kids!”
The officer scribbled notes before looking back up at Doug. “He never tried to get off?”
“Doubt the thought ever crossed his mind. Was having a blast. Like at the fair or something. We lucky nobody got hurt.”
“True. That shrub is torn up pretty good though. Guess the hospital can tack it onto his bill.”

After over a century of straight roads and square corners, in the last 5 years, the Region has installed over 35 roundabouts. Drivers will get used to them. Maybe, in another 100 years. 👿 The body-shops love them. 😉

The body shops must be the only ones who love them, cause I don’t know anyone who likes them!

It seems that some people can just have fun doing just about anything! Of course, those people often end up in the hospital…

Oh, I can help you out with that. I was thinking of Ratt’s 1984 hit “Round and Round.” My wife likes the 80’s hair bands and I get to hear Round and Round on the regular.
Glad you liked the story!

Love the dialogue of “he must have been high. Darn kids!” It’s just corny enough it made me smiley.

Well, that’s pretty cold-hearted! Worrying about a bush! Well, maybe the guy deserved it, if was driving buzzed or drunk 🙂

He definitely deserves that (and more) if he was driving drunk.
