driving miss crazy, part tres and three quarters

the same weekend i was visiting moho she exhibited some of her finer driving skills. of course. this was the best one i have seen. yet. the cake topper, if you will. in michigan, and i am sure other places, when turning left you some times have to go past the road you want to turn left on and make a u turn in a designated lane heading the opposite direction you were travelling to then turn right onto to the street you wanted to turn left on in the first place. we call this a michigan turn. usually, this is on a multiple lane road divided with a boulevard. so, here we are at an intersection. we need to turn left. this particular intersection does not have a michigan turn. but it needs one. we had a green light. however, the light in the middle of the boulevard for through traffic was red. moho explains to me that this happens all of the time. and cars behind her start to drive and get stuck blocking the cross traffic because there is only room for one car at the light in the boulevard. she then proceeds to say, 'so, this is how i fix it.' and runs the red light. all i could do was laugh. out. loud. because, after all, she did look both ways before she ran it.
