Stop Sign of the Times



Have you ever been in your car at a stop sign waiting for a break in traffic when someone pulls up in the lane next to you and crosses the white line and totally blocks your view, thereby eliminating any chance you have of seeing any cars that are coming? That can be frustrating, can’t it? (Can we please ticket this type of behavior?Your options in these cases are as follows:

  1.        Throw up your hands in disgust
  2.        Inch a little further across the white line than they are, thereby blocking their view and risking that the truck coming from the left could tear off your front bumper
  3.        Pull blindly into traffic where, granted, you might get killed, but the offending driver at the stop sign would have to live with what they had done for the rest of his or her life

Sorry that I don’t have better options on this. Sadly, many of us would choose the third option. There’s no happy ending there but at least you might get a roundabout named after you.
