The Bretster and I use to joke about stupid drivers all the time by finishing our conversation with "and I'm/you're the one that gets tickets". And after almost 5 years I think I am slowly changing my mind its just people who don't pay attention. I am SO SO guilty of texting and driving
Yesterday I had a very interesting experience at my crosswalk. Yeah, yeah you are all jealous that I am a cross guard and you're not. Up until yesterday I was a rover... meaning I did crosswalks all over filling in the spot of the others who took days off. Now I have my very own crosswalk and I was lucky to start it off with a motorcycle cop radaring for speeders. I was only there 10 minutes before he pulled someone over! Which is great because hardly ANYONE slows down in school zones. People SLOW DOWN! It was this way nice new VW. The cop wrote the ticket and went back to place when this Asian man on his cell phone approaches me. I think nothing of it since I am in the inner city of Salt Lake so there are always a lot of adults not just kids that cross at crosswalks. He then asks me where the school zone lights are. AH!!! This is the guy in the VW. He then proceeds to tell me he was on the phone with the court because he didn't see any school zone lights. Um.. really? The lights are the biggest ones I have seen in the city limits! Then asks if they are on! I show him where the lights are and tell him that yes they are on. This man starts to walk away kindly saying thanks and then goes and checks to see if the lights really were on. SERIOUSLY?!?!
Okay, so maybe people who get tickets are those who don't pay attention while driving!!
