As someone who occasionally directs traffic as apart of my job, we deal with people like him literally every single day. People are impatient and also believe they’re “above” all the other vehicles waiting patiently like they’re supposed to. They’re typically stopped for just a few minutes (if that), but that’s too long for a lot of people. And we aren’t out there just goofing around or whatever, we’re directing traffic for THEIR safety and for ours and our co-workers safety. We all are licensed and thoroughly trained to be in the road and to do our job. As long as you pay attention and follow the directions you are given, no accidents happen and you’ll be out of there fairly quickly. Unfortunately there’s far too many people that think the world revolves around them and also don’t seem to use their brains. And that’s just one aspect of terrible drivers, the other nightmare in this job is just how many people simply don’t pay attention. We are required to have a bunch of signs hundreds & hundreds of feet back, all warning everyone that there’s construction work ahead, to be prepared to stop, AND that there are flaggers ahead. A lot of people either ignore these signs, or simply don’t pay attention. And a staggering amount of them are looking down at their phones while driving. All you gotta do is just pay the minimal amount of attention and like I said, you’ll not only be safe, but you also won’t be stopped/inconvenienced for very long either!

Don't ever impede a Porsche driver. They're allowed to do what they want, and they shouldn't have to interact with us little people.

[@terrytyler6706]

Can't believe he did that. No way to be acting as a grown man.

[@WeAreLegion-]

That's a big pay day for that construction worker. 💰

[@dom4591]

The worker already makes good money but this will definitely give him a very nice bonus 👍🏽

[@THEKING-tt5rp]

when i was in my early 20's i used to work on road construction now I'm a 60yr old truck driver i always put my flashers on and slow down like to a craw the guys always wave or give me a thumbs up. please take care of our road crew's 👷👷👷👷

[@heyrod59]

The state of Florida needs to start testing drivers at ahead 65 for competency/comprehension behind the wheel. The reason being that this individual being interviewed by law enforcement is clearly not remembering what he did, trying to pin what happened on the road worker which is improper. No car "lunges" by merely touching it while stopped, if the driver taps the accelerator then yes it will.

[@paintnamer6403]

The beginning stage of dementia can be irritability and traffic can certainly trigger that. If he kept his foot on the brake and not lose his cool and give it some gas hitting the road worker he could stay home. Anybody know what his defense and sentence was?

[@WalkingStreets]

He’ll be out the same day.

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Look at how nice and patient the officer was to him when making the arrest. 😑

[@evryhndlestakn]

The officer was concerned about his balance. His bank balance.

[@Jpizzle925]

what are you implying? that humans can be cordial and respectful while getting arrested? or should they be reaching for the cops gun?

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

@@Jpizzle925 I’m all for that, but it’s concerning they can’t be that way with everyone else.

[@billthecat666]

It's pretty important to follow road construction signs and pay attention to the workers.

[@AlisonCasilli]

Seems that the driver is the one concerned about how pricey his car is....and thinks that it gives him the right to do what he wants and then LIE about it like the coward he is. I wonder if he would be as disrespectful of the people who keep that road nice and smooth if he had to navigate massive potholes and mud puddles in that nice car.

Targeted for being rich. That’s...rich.

[@JockJamJesus]

This worker ran and jumped in front of (his own words) a man's car in order to prevent him from going through, not because someone else was coming, but because "it wasn't his turn". I think these guys need to remember they aren't in a position of authority & that they're just there to fix the roads.

[@tiffanyoneill8718]

So glad I finally moved away from there. Best decision ever.

It's the DEMENTIA excuse, only saying 1/2 truths because the other half their blocking out. Notice he's very uncomfortable, his Body Language is evident in he's folding his arms close to his chest to " comfort " himself, he's got Guilt all over the place. Witnesses are besides Cell Cameras the best evidence. Also, for a Retired guy living in Florida driving a Porsche you'd think or assume he's gotta have a Camera front n rear in his car so if I was that LEO I'd be asking then requesting to review it if it hasn't conveniently been erased.

Dash cameras are a great idea. They can plug into the DC outlet in any car. But personal lapel cameras aren't easy to keep running all day. And how would the average construction worker be able to justify that expense of money, but also time and effort in keeping them running? You have actual work to do.

While walking a picket line, I had a car pick me up on his hood and drive me right down into the parking garage with me hanging on. I could tell he was going to do it, too. He stopped about six inches away and revved his engine at me. The other picketers got out of the way, but I'm a Wobbly and I don't move for man or god when I'm on a picket line. Our eyes met and I could see the decision in his eyes when he decided he was just gonna go.

[@william4996]

I'm not incredibly knowledgeable on picket lines so this might be ignorant but why would you not let someone go through?

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

@@william4996 There are different types of picket lines. An info picket involves handing out flyers and explaining why you're there. A soft picket involves asking people to please not cross your line, and explain why they shouldn't, and shame them if necessary. A hard picket means blocking people from crossing through. Which type of picket you use is determined by the organizers, and each has a different function and purpose. Hard pickets are generally reserved for strikes involving hostile bosses. In my case, it was a strike at the National War Museum in Ottawa. They usually had one of the workers in his full military uniform standing on the picket line to dissuade the right-wing lunatics from just running down the striking workers, but he was away that day. And when I'm on a hard picket, the only way you're getting me to move is in handcuffs or on the hood of your speeding vehicle.

This guy really thought he could explain the problem away. He gave answers that he thought could provide some vagueness like using the words “I think” and “the car must have lurched forward.” So he’s blaming the car even though he is the driver and 100% in control of the Porsche Cayenne at all times.

[@tech4life884]

There's a serious flaw in the construction workers story. High end cars and newer vehicles power off the engine every single time the vehicle stops and then restarts the engine when the brake is let go of. This older gentleman couldn't have ran into him if he was stopped because the vehicle would have technically been off.

[@gibememoni]

it looks like a cash grab to me from the young feller hes trying to get an insurance pay out

[@Tat2Dragons]

That’s not true for all of those vehicles. Also, most vehicles allow the driver the option to disable that annoying feature.
