Do Not Block the Intersection

I often wonder where people get their driver's license at. I have to laugh, cause I wonder if they get it from the Internet. Its seems that we all forget to follow the rules of the road-which by the way is for our own safety, right? But yet, (LOL) we still ignore it.

What amazes me is that the sign is right there! Right there! looking right down at you. Right next to the light that you are staring at. It clearly reads..."Do Not Block the Intersection" but yet people ignore it and, of course, block the intersection. And guess what? The folks on the other intersection can't go anywhere because cars are blocking their way. It's like, "hello! Can I please go through..." and yeah, those horns starts beeping, and before we know it, its almost chaotic.

I often have to laugh at those who ignore the signs and/or the lights. I don't know if it is a sign of forgetfulness, blindness or just plain ignorance. I sit there...my light is green but I don't dare move, because I know if I do, I will begin the lead of blocking the intersection. And since I'm related to Uncle Murphy (Murphy's law), it will happen. So I do ignore the horns beeping behind me because the light is green, however it is traffic time and the cars in front of me are not moving forward enough for me to cross the intersection. And even if I'm considerate to the others, the cars- ooops, I mean the folks behind me will not be considerate and block the intersection.

It's worse at traffic time- the 4-5pm traffic rush. Ohhhh how much we hate that time of the day. I hate it. But what I hate more so- is those who ignore the traffic signs. Not to mention the idiots who make U-turns in places that clearly says: "No U-turns" and nearly causes an auto wreck because of their ignorance. The sign is right there- right next to the light.

There are reasons why these signs are posted. And as humans, as smart as we are, we choose to be ignorant and make choices that are risky. Oh I know, some people just love being risky. LOL ...including me. But there is a limit to when you want to be risky. You want to be risky, but you don't want to be "stupid risky"....know what I mean?

God often gives us signs to direct us to the right way...its a way that will protect us and keep us safe. It will bring us much joy and happiness when we do follow those signs. When we make the right choice and use good judgment, we skip down our journey knowing that despite the bumps along the way, He will pick us up and give us a little push to keep going. I don't want to make any wrong U-turns or block others from where they need to be at. Including those emergency vehicles.

Help make this a safe & happy holiday for all...& don't forget to "obey" those traffic signs. They are there to protect you and those around you. Keep your eyes open and watch your environment, because even if you are a safe driver, there are a bunch of others who are not.
