Florida man 'fed up' with reckless drivers causes crash at intersection

A man in Central Florida who was “fed up” with people driving dangerously through an intersection took matters into his own hands and purposefully caused a head-on collision, police said.

Bruce Homer, 61, faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and reckless driving with personal injury.

Homer told police in Clermont, Fla., that he caused the crash because “people are always running through stop signs at the intersection” and officers “never do anything about it,” the Daily Commercial reports.

At around 1 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to the accident when an SUV hit Homer’s vehicle. The SUV driver the told officers that Homer pulled his truck in front of him as he was driving through the intersection.

Instead of being set in a bar, the action will take place at an intersection.

Pete Jarvis, "The Ascutney Assassin". A really good stock car/modified driver, who can beat and bang with the best - a real bumper artist! - And bad fast if they are running No Touch style.

Oddly enough, I pitched this, as a goof to Mike Ryan, the movie stuntman who specialises in truck stunts - like the recent jump over the Lotus F1 car. With beefed up Suburbans full of video gear., "On the lookout for losers", Payback with a bumper, all a big goof of course - but Ryan's in! "If they're doi'n 45 in the left lane, they threw the first punch!"

All inspired by a video shot from Frank Sprongl's (one of the best all-surface drivers in the world, IMHO)rally team, on the way home from a rally, in freezing rain, going maybe 70kph, watching morons carom off the barriers on the autoroute. And a couple other vids of Mississauga misbehavior from the same source.

The sad thing is, you could pull this off. Because every Gadsden - flag flyin` nitwit the Assassin punts into the "well" of an off ramp will sign all the releases, just to be on TeeVee.
