I think last year I made comments in regards to this very subject but since it has come back up yet again I will repost....

First off, I have a little bit of a drive in the mornings to get from home to work, not a major one, but I do go from Big Stone to Wise....

Second...I understand that some parents or otherwise feel the need to take their kids to and from school for whatever reason...some legit reasons some are just due to being too lazy to get up in time in the mornings, some due to not wanting the school bus education for the children (which hell ain't all that friggin bad)

No matter what the reason you have for taking your kids to school, can you at least do some courteous things for others...

every once in a while do the little wave and let a person off of a side road, come one traffic is already backed up you won't get there that much later

here is the biggie get your illegal driving butt out of the middle of the intersection, or if the light is red, don't run it simply to try and get ahead by a few minutes, and esp don't run it just to sit in the intersection and block those of us that are trying to get to work.

The other day I was watching as the intersection was blocked yet again by someone who ran the red light, the car in my lane was easing up so they could go when the car cleared, the car in the turning lane a full minute or so after the light turned red just kept on turning, not only doing something illegal but gave the car who had the right away looks and nearly hit him. I admired that car, and wished it was my truck which is more intimidating than the little car trying to get through. FINALLY we got through that time, and I realized that the car I was admiring was my dear own father...it brought a smile to my face, I even called him and said I needed to do that maneuver the next time I was up there. So please for the love of God can any of you that like blocking traffic please stop or get off the road, there are lights for a reason. I usually make it to work on time, despite the stupidity and ignorance that is on the road, all I want to do it get to work...that's it. I have a job, I like keeping the job, I really don't mind my work most days. I pay taxes that help keep the schools running as well as the cops paid not to mention fixing roadways and traffic lights. Go back to the DMV, get a clue, the book ain't that hard to read. I should not have to leave 20 minutes earlier just so some moron can sit in the middle of the intersection. thankyouverymuchthisgripefestwassponsoredbyms_elis abeth [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
