Driving

There is something that I really enjoy while driving and it happens in Victoria more often than one would think. I get a good chuckle out of it every time. The event I am talking about is when someone drives up to a traffic light and they overshoot the sensor. They sit there wondering why the light doesn't change, until someone comes up behind them or they just run the red light.

One day I pulled into a left turn lane behind someone with Saskatchewan license plates. They didn't pull up far enough forward to change the light. When the light didn't change for us, I had to get out of the car and tell him to move forward.

That was kind of funny and he was a good sport about it. I didn't think that making him feel stupid was necessary as some rage filled drivers would have.

While I am on the subject of traffic, I was driving home from Wal-mart yesterday and was waiting to turn left onto Tillicum Rd (yes I was on the sensor). There were two kids about 14 years old playing on the side of the highway. One of them had a unicycle and was riding it on the concrete barrier, right beside traffic. I called 911 right away after imagining a tragic accident. Those barriers are something like two or three inches wide at the most on top. Crazy kids! As I was on the phone with the police, they told me that they were also getting other calls about it as well. At least I know that I'm not the only one who cares.
