  There are vids on YouTube of drivers doing stupid things like that,
general bad driving, etc where they are pulled over just up the road. 
Called instant karma videos.

  Ain't that the truth.
  And its in every bit of society as well.

  I'd give you a gold star if I had one.

  I did minor things like that on my cars when I had one.

  I would be happy to send you some of ours.
  We got over 20 inches of rain over normal last year and this year is
looking to be the same.  (But I prefer rain over snow any day).  
  One year it was very wet and October Fire Prevention time came and we
were waterlogged.  If you stood in one spot too long you started sinking.
 One of our goofy weathermen said a fire could still spark at any time
with dire consequences (houses bursting into flame, forest fires, etc).

  In the late '90s I was working midnight's in dorm security.  (Sort of a
gloried hotel desk clerk).  For several mid-January nights we got a rain
that turned to sleet and everything outside was caked in ice.  (Had to
spend time each morning chipping ice off my bike).  There's a major
street that ran in front of the building I was in and cars would go
zooming down the street like a dry June afternoon, with a light at the
next corner.  There were fender benders on a regular basis.
