If you were in Westport last week — the public schools’ spring break — you know how light the traffic was.
The Post Road, Riverside and Saugatuck Avenue — wherever there’s usually congestion, it’s been full speed ahead.
Uh oh.
Some drivers were too impatient, even when traffic is light.
An alert — and partly shaken up, partly enraged — “06880” reader sent not one but two clips from her dashcam. She stitched them together, in the video below.
The first shows someone heading southbound on Bayberry Lane, toward Long Lots Road. A small truck ahead of him or her isn’t moving fast enough, so — right at the 25 MPH speed limit sign, of all places — the driver crosses the double line and blows past.
The second part catches a driver who does not even slow down at the 4-way Cross Highway/North Avenue intersection. He or she roars straight through — also toward Long Lots.
A few seconds later both the dashcam driver and another, heading the opposite direction, stop at the stop sign.
Both are safe.
For now.
