...meanwhile, I couldn't resist taking another swipe at that ridiculous civility campaign that seemingly brought the hypocrites out of the woodwork.
From Spending some time in a Howard police car: View from a cruiser gives new perspective on traffic:
[The officer] watches several motorists make half-hearted pauses at the [stop] sign but lets them slide. With so many flagrant violators out there, she feels no need to clamp down on technical violations.
But there's nothing technical about the way the driver of a Honda Civic races through the stop sign and takes a right on Hesperus, going at least 40 mph up the residential street. On the rear bumper, a sticker reads: "Choose Civility."
...the [18-year-old] has 5 points on her driving record. One of her tickets was for going 65 mph in a 25-mph zone...
Good grief!
