There are moments caught on camera that leave people watching and wondering, “What was she thinking?” This is definitely one of them. A viral video that has gained nearly 900,000 views in just the last few days shows a woman driving through an active construction zone in Central New York like she doesn’t have a care in the world. The wild part? It’s not like she could claim she didn’t notice what was happening.
