It is a bit amusing that the police are going to start cracking down on drivers that don’t yield to pedestrians.

Drivers certainly like to mow down people around here. I even got grazed by a school bus that didn’t seem to notice the light was red yesterday morning.

Of course, pedestrians aren’t the only thing local drivers target. Some do a few drinks in the morning and then head out to run down pregnant women in SUV’s.

I am somewhat amazed at miserable driving in this area. As I jogged up Main Street yesterday I watched a car stop at a red light during rush hour. For no reason at all it suddenly decided that the light had changed and it pulled right out in to traffic. Horns blared, brakes squealed, and vehicles stopped.

Nothing touched. The car that had migrated through the red light decided it had started crossing so it might as well continue. It quickly sped ahead. One minute later I passed the car since it was at the next light (rush hour you know) where it was stuck behind someone that didn’t feel like driving through the red light.

OK…are all of you drivers ready to go mow someone down tomorrow morning? I’m sure you are all good drivers. I think we just have a Christine here in town. Yep. That’s it.
