What about stop sign runners?  That is an epidemic!

Too many people around here who think stop signs are merely suggestions!

That's because 95% of stop signs should be replaced with Yield signs.

I don't think yield signs work either.   Too many times I'm hitting the brakes for people who failed to stop or yield.

That'a probably true.  A lot of intersections could just be replaced with a traffic circle. 

Oh wait, my house backs onto a traffic circle, people don't know what to do with those either.  Nevermind...   ::)

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

From my cube at work, I look down on the main entrance to the complex.  The intersection is controlled by traffic lights.  I have watched the 3 people do this today.  They want to make a left going out of the lot, so they stop, and then they just go without waiting for the light to change.  It's a traffic light, it's not a stop sign!!!  At least they stopped first...

Maybe I need binoculars at my desk for jotting down plates.   ;)

Selfishness.  Pure and simple.  Their attitude and actions just show how unimportant everyone else is.  :(
