An boy, about eight years of age, gets out of the front passenger seat. He runs around and gets into the car through the back door on the driver's side, and *takes the baby out of its carseat*. The light then changes, and car drives off at top speed, boy and baby Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387650877711210366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-65887931980786416082009-09-18T17:17:38.132-04:002009-09-18T17:17:38.132-04:00I hate it when I pass someone and still get stuck ...I hate it when I pass someone and still get stuck at the light with them.

I drive to a place where approx. 1000 or so teenagers are DRIVING each day. One poor boy was hit by a car the other day. The poor lady who hit him was then rear-ended by the person in a rush behind her.

This continued for 4 blocks, around the round-about, and onto the freeway exit, including swerving into my lane on the exit ramp.<br /><br />Heh.

Aargh! And many of them don't even slow down to pass parents and small children.<br /><br />Yesterday, if I'd had a mirror, I would have seen someone squatting in the middle of a quiet residential road, ipod in ears, and camera to eye.
