Jackson, a self-proclaimed storm chaser, who goes by @DFWStormChasing on Twitter/X.com had a bit of time on his hands earlier these last two weeks (Oct 10 and 14, 2024) and chose a random roundabout in Arlington to find out how long he could drive in one until police were called on him.His answer? 50 minutes. And, he caught his record-setting attempts on his dashcam.It should be noted that the below post is his second attempt, the first attempt thwarted by a Karen who called him out after 23 minutes. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-theme="dark">I made it 50 minutes this time. The police thought it was "reckless driving" and they received "multiple complaints" Having fun is apparently illegal <a href="https://t.co/gn0OJA1Ycv">https://t.co/gn0OJA1Ycv</a><a href="https://t.co/E5cj0hZL9Q">pic.twitter.com/E5cj0hZL9Q</a>— DFWStormChasers (@DFWStormChasing) <a href="https://twitter.com/DFWStormChasing/status/1845661666719007086?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>Jackson’s roundabout of choice is found at the intersection of Calendar Rd and Russell Rd (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)Jackson’s method was quite simple, he arrived at the roundabout and, like Forrest Gump, just kept driving.It wasn’t the police who spotted his antics the first time, but a Karen perturbed at the scene playing out.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-theme="dark">Nah got the police called on me. I left before they showed up. Lady was PISSED and was gesturing like she was going to and eventually held the phone to her ear so I left— DFWStormChasers (@DFWStormChasing) <a href="https://twitter.com/DFWStormChasing/status/1844586501117559103?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 11, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>Since Jackson posted his first attempt on Twitter, it went viral, garnering over 6M+ impressions, 150,000+ likes, 10,000+ RTs, and hundreds of comments.The post going viral emboldened Jackson to break his record, reaching 50 minutes.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-theme="dark">10k likes and I'll do it for an hour Or maybe more— DFWStormChasers (@DFWStormChasing) <a href="https://twitter.com/DFWStormChasing/status/1844777804774166822?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 11, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>It should be noted that there’s nothing really against the law for driving around a roundabout for an extended period of time.However, if your record-setting attempt interferes with other drivers, police can make a case for erratic driving and blocking the flow of traffic. And, in this case, police have interpreted it as reckless driving.I’d suggest attempting this in the middle of the night with minimal traffic, but driving around with or without lights poses its own set of variables.If you so choose, good luck on your next attempt, Jackson!</div></body>
