A bizarre scene unfolded in Florida when a woman, arrested for driving the wrong way, tried to pin the blame on her husband, even though no one else was in the car with her. In a video posted on X, a vehicle was seen driving recklessly along the highway. In no time, it struck another police car that tried to stop it, yet the driver still refused to pull over.
Sirens could be heard blaring as another cop car trailed closely from behind, signaling that patrol officers were in pursuit. Luckily, the officer was able to stop the reckless driver with a pit maneuver, causing her to make a U-turn on the interstate highway. The driver was soon blocked by two police vehicles.
A patrol officer was then heard telling the driver to “go off the other side,” directing the driver away from the door where he was standing. The clip revealed that the driver was a woman with green hair, nose rings, and a bralette-style top.
“Do you realize you are going the wrong way on the interstate?” a patrol officer asked.
“On this interstate?” she replied, sounding confused. The back-and-forth continued as she explained why she had driven in circles, and the officer reminded her that he had stopped her for driving the wrong way. Soon after, the woman tried to defend her reckless driving, saying, “My husband was driving me home.”
“Is there anyone else in that car?” the officer asked another patrol officer nearby.
“No one else is there,” came the response. Uneasily, the woman blurted, “No, yeah,” before insisting again that she was only the passenger and that her husband had been driving. When asked how many drinks she had that day, she admitted to having two full drinks, one at home and another at the bar.
The officer then instructed her to take a sobriety test, close her eyes, stand straight, and walk a line. He clearly asked her to follow his instructions, which she failed at, and she was immediately placed under arrest. It didn’t take long for the comments section to explode with reactions. “A full stadium of red flags. Impressive, really,” one user wrote, describing her behavior.
Another added, “The key to a successful marriage is it’s always your fault.” One netizen quipped, “Blaming her husband was her ‘go-to’ excuse, so it makes sense that once she was caught, she reverted to those default settings.” Someone else commented:
“This multi-pierced-blue-haired woman is so programmed to blame men for everything that she literally invented a man—her husband, no less—so that HE could take accountability for her problems.”
Another Redditor pointed out, “This is the ultimate example of women being unable to take responsibility for their actions.” According to the caption of the video, no one was injured in the incident. However, it confirmed that the driver showed clear signs of impairment, with her breath alcohol content measuring between 0.99 and 0.202, more than double the legal limit of 0.08.
