Slow Down!

 There is apparently a reckless driver frequenting the Northside.  These accounts appeared on social media: 

Wreckless driver on Old Canton Road. Wreckless driver on Old Canton Road. Does anyone recognize this car that almost killed me pulling out of my street on to old canton road in front of St Andrew’s Lower school? Old canton is not for drag racing or insane drivers going at least 60 mph in a school zone. They also swerved into oncoming traffic in front of the Cedars only to run the red light taking a right to run the frontage road red light as well. I pulled up over the I-55 bridge to snap this as they had to stop at that red light. I’m tired of people thinking Old Canton is an Interstate. They proceeded to take a left on frontage road and another right onto Northside drive.

 That’s the same car that almost ran me off the road Friday night!!

What is the car in question? 


 

 

Well, when you make $390K, perhaps you do own the road.

Must be a Madison Durham school bus driver. They speed like that all the time.

It's an Audi with what appears to be "25" in the upper right corner, which would be Hinds County. Let's see, an Audi with Hinds County plates...
Now y'all know these silly rules of the road don't apply to them. Please!!!

This person almost killed me yesterday flying down Old Canton road and swerving into oncoming traffic!

This car also swerved around me nearly side swiping me and then illegally took a right turn to speed up to a red light. Real brainiac!

It wouldn't be hard to figure out who the car belongs to.

Can we get a better tip than the $390K?

Slow down! said...

That area has an elementary school nearby as well as newly created walking and biking paths. EVERYONE needs to slow down. Life is too precious to plow over a child, biker or walker.

Mississippi Children's Museum specialty plate.

Move Bi*^h, get out the way

Well I mean you clearly have their license plate so you could report them to JPD for whatever that's worth.

The only good Audi was a Murphy said...

Life means nothing to the pretentious. Look at the Irbys.

The only effective punishment for these folks would be to make them drive a 1995 Dodge Caravan and wear Goodwill for a year. They'd kill themselves before they'd do that.

But, Audi does seem to be the new nouveau riche status car for the millenials. So many in NEJ and especially Bricktown.

I don't get it.

I believe that's a specialty tag for the Children's Museum. Here is the link to all the specialty tags. https://www.dor.ms.gov/TagsTitles/Pages/License-Plates.aspx

Gail Earnhardt Jr. has Childrens Hospital tag, not a Children’s Museum tag.

You guys are terrible amateur sleuths. I can see maybe if the guy is driving fast enough to make a sonic boom, that you might not recognize. But not when you have all the clues right in front of you.

Double Standards said...

The very idea of someone driving so irresponsibly near an elementary school with a Children’s Museum car tag. The museum should yank that tag off his car.

At least he is not violating the LOHO 25 mph zones- Driver knows better than mess with LOHO

You’re Audi 5000 my friend.

A car like that almost ran me off road on Lakeland. They pulled in same convenience store as I was going to and some very young girls that looked like they had Prep uniforms got out. I can’t say for sure if it was same car but I wouldn’t be surprised. Very easy to find out.

why wouldnt one support THEE hand that feeds with their specialty tag?

A "wreckless" driver, huh? What's all the fuss about? Seems to me to be a safe driver! No wrecks!

Not sure if it's the case in Mississippi but in many states a license plate with just 3 numbers or less (the case here) is a status symbol- it means you are politically connected and can carry a steep price.

Often times these tags are bequeathed to relatives and fought over in court by descendants.

Some say those with low number license plates are less likely to get pulled over because cops assume they are connected.

Have you considered that his passing you is a polite way of saying "move your ass, Karen?"

Cheated Death Twice said...

'Almost killed me'. What the hell does that even mean?

Poor White Boy said...

There are crazy drivers everywhere. I just let them have the road. Most likely they'll wreck or get a ticket. If you get behind me and tailgate me and expect me to speed up you out of luck. I'm not paying for your speeding ticket.

I know who the driver is. $50 and I will tell (embarrass).

Guess he was HOPEful he wouldn’t get caught.

@4:22 stay your ass out of left lane

What’s next out of this Audi ?? Will they block
I 55 and do donuts while the crowd twerks ?

MJNichol said...

I made the original post on Nextdoor. Somehow someone deleted my entire post and the comments. How can nextdoor be censored like that? It’s not Twitter and his name/owners name was not published. Absolutely ridiculous!

AMEN @ 7:23 PM !

NextDoor can be "censored" exactly the same way Jackson Jambalaya can. Whoever has control of the controls, controls the content. Don't like it? You have two choices: Either don't break the rules of the website, or stay off the website altogether.

Anonymous said...

@10:34 It might be because you showed the tag number. I had the same thing happen to a similar post and was told that somewhere in the annals of Nextdoor rules, you can't show the tag number.

Anybody figure out this clue yet?

Highest School Official?

I don't think so. SPB list that salary at $307,125.00 which is ridiculous for where Mississippi ranks in education.

He’s dining at Sakura Bana tonight, sources say. Hope my source can make it out of the parking lot without getting run over.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
