Freeways, Streets

July 2006

Totally out of control. The list—most of which needs no explanation or elaboration or is covered by statute—continues to grow.

And, considering the potential consequences, these could all be hanging offenses.  

Driving too fast

Driving too slow

Changing lanes without looking or signaling

Tailgating

Not knowing the difference between Yield and Merge

Turning right from the next-to-the-right lane

Signaling right and turning left

Leaving your turn signal on

Stopping in the middle of the intersection

Stopping in a crosswalk

Four-way confusion
The sign doesn’t mean “Let’s make up our own rules.”

Flinging open the driver’s side door, unloading groceries, babies, and/or luggage from the street side instead of at the curb

Taking two slots for your SUV
If it wasn’t for that surveillance cam, we’d register our objection with a key.

Dumping your ashtray at your parking spot
Figures. You’re a smoker.

Bumper stickers that demand we START SEEING MOTORCYCLES

Motorcycles

Cell phones
