That PASSED me on Burroughs Way. A RESIDENTIAL street. I have your plate number, thats why I was following you for a while so I could get the number memorized and then pull over and write it down. I am heading down to the station to file a complaint and I will see you in muni court. Cause this was the one that broke the camels back. Passing me on my street where all the room is taken up by people dropping off their kids and I was driving the residential speed limit.
I sure hope you made your train, to your really important job, so you can treat your employees like , or suck up to your boss so that in the future you can treat your employees like .
Either way, see ya later. And I will do you the kindness of not posting your car make, model and license number here, lest someone might actually recognize themselves. And if this sounds like something that someone out here did, a PL with an apology and explaination for why you felt obligated to drive 35+ MPH on a residential street, I'll read it.

About 8:45 this morning I was driving down SO Ave in the far right lane and a woman in a gray Nissan (I think) sports car tore around me on the right, driving onto the shoulder to pass. She then wove in and out of traffic with no turn signal for a few blocks before I turned off. She almost caused a couple of accidents and shortened her travel time by a whopping three seconds or so. I wonder if it could be the same woman? Definitely a real menace.

Note that both areas (depending on where on the mentioned streets) are right by schools

Sorry Rick, but if the driver of the car, by chance, reads MOL she might be less inclined to the soapbox so I posted it here instead. Sorry if it bummed you out.

I wonder if it was the same person that yesterday (by Tuscan school) tried to pass me on the left hand side (on a two way street) as I was waiting to turn left. A Dad was coming across the crosswalk and I had my signal on and was waiting and this jerk tried to pass me on the left!!!! I fully understand road rage after yesterday. I wanted to get out of my car and strangle them.

I hope you get 'er!

Oh and as long as we are on the subject, what's with the moms/dads stopping dead in the middle of the street to drop off their kids for school? This is really starting to drive me INSANE! They even do it if there is ample room to pull over to the curb. Is our society REALLY that lazy?

And, while we're at it, I was crossing the road on foot, on Third by Wachovia near the SO train station about 5pm. I was carrying a 2 year old, 5 year old in hand, accompanied by another mother with a three and five year old in hand, we're half-way through the crosswalk when a green 4x4 (subaru??) proceeds to barrel through the intersection. It looked like a mom with a tween in the car. We were furious; if the kids had been a couple of feet ahead of us: BAM!
