Respect the Line!
October 21st, 2012There is an epidemic of lawlessness on our roads.
You know that line you’re supposed to stay behind when you come to a red light? Fewer and fewer people are staying behind it.
Memo to drivers: Your front wheels are supposed to be behind the line; your rear wheels are not supposed to be in front of the line.
Now, I have no statistics whatsoever to back this up, but my own little focus group of one tells me that this traffic line is being ignored more today than ever before in my decades of driving experience. It would not surprise me at all to learn that this is the result of significant increases in the number of left-front bumper accidents.
People, people, let’s stop the madness: Respect the line!
