The Idiot Who Shut Down A Freeway To Propose To His Girlfriend Is Facing Charges

It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but this guy just found out that it's not just Internet commenters who disapprove of you shutting down a freeway to propose

Proposing to your girlfriend should be a wonderful moment, and for some, being as romantic and creative as possible will ensure the moment stays with them for a lifetime. Unfortunately, your special moment means diddlysquat to 99.9 per cent of the population, so if your super romantic proposal turns out to actually be at worst super dangerous, and at best super inconvenient for everyone else, you might find yourself under fire.

That’s exactly what happened to Vidal Valldares, after he shut down Interstate-45 in Houston so he could propose to his girlfriend. The video above shows the moment Vidal’s family and friends stopped to block traffic on the highway, with the lucky lady’s “yes” drowned out by the angry horns of drivers. It turns out one of the vehicles that passed the scene was driven by an off-duty officer, which gives investigators an official witness, allowing them to charge Valldares with obstructing a highway.

It should go without saying that stopping traffic on the highway is dangerous and dumb, and could hold up someone in an emergency.

I’d be pissed too if i had to wait a couple of hours just so some guy could purpose. Roads are for cars not people, thats why they’re called roads.

i don’t understand what’s so romantic about a free-way. the top of the Eiffel Tower is a more ideal place.

You’d think something like that would give the girl a warning.
A guy so incredibly arrogant, that f* you and everyone else, as long as I get to do what I want.
Avoid people like this.
