what happened, did he stop, give you the finger, shout obscenities?
He stopped and just had this look of confusion on his face. I really don't think some drivers understand the law.

Add to that the numerous distractions like homeless panhandlers and newspaper vendors wandering around at every corner, and the broccoli-head kids making all kinds of noise and flying around in their Hondas with the Maxwell House mufflers, blasting reggaeton music with all the windows down... If there was meaningful enforcement of the laws that were on the books already, it'd be a much better place.

What! I almost got run over by some foreign european snow bird on the parking lot of a small store backing up with out looking and gave me a hard look like I was in the wrong,,, another old peep veered a hard left like there was no one driving on the right lanes going the same direction,, another just doesn't stop at all on red lights in a school area- with cross guards and kids,,, thank God there was none that morn at that time -and last of all the soccer moms driving like their house is on fire coming from Tampa on the causeway weaving and driving 90...in their suvs,,,just to be held up at the parking lot traffic nearer to RT19 --- no,, bad drivers have no boundaries either.
