More ranting about drivers - or - Gaaaahhh!! The stupid people follow me around!
This is just a rant. I don't care.When I am stopped at a light I just sit there until the light turns green -- then I go. It makes sense, right?When other folks are stopped at a light about 10% seem to want to constantly creep forward as if their car came to a full stop they might never be able to get it to go again. Eventually the light turns green and for the most part they have worse reaction times and don't move before I clear the intersection!Well yesterday I saw someone get their due. Finally. (Ok, they didn't get much, but that's OK I guess... )I've colored the inductive loop "car sensor" green in the diagram above. They pulled so far up that they were no longer on the loop and they didn't get a green light!(You can take a look on Google Maps if you want -- this is rotated north up so you'll have to mentally flip something around)Suckers.If you just follow the rules in this case you can actually have things work better for you!That and I kept getting behind people driving 10 mph under the speed limit for no good reason. And no, I don't count being on your phone or drunk as a good reason. Put the phone/bottle down before you kill someone! If you can't drive the speed limit in good conditions (i.e. daylight/dusk and dry) then you shouldn't be driving.
