I Revoke Your Right to Drive!
I love Greensboro! There are all kinds of fun stores and restaurants. I can hear at least 4 different languages being spoken at my neighborhood Starbucks. There are tons of college campuses, and I get to spend time with some amazing students. But, Greensboro just might have the worst drivers in the universe!
Let me share my driving experience from this morning. I was leaving Chick-fil-a (yay free breakfast coupons) and heading back to my house with my friend Lisa. We turned right onto a side road so I could turn left at the stoplight onto the main road to get back home. In the left-most left turn lane, there was a van sitting still at least 5 car lengths back from the “stopping line” for the light. As I pulled up behind the line of traffic in the other left turn lane, I said, “What are they doing?”
And they proceeded to show me the answer! Now, we’re on one side of a divided road - the lanes only go one way. The driver could’ve pulled up to the light, waited approximately one minute and made a U-turn completely legally. But no! They backed up, did a 3-point-turn in the lane behind me and proceeded to go in the other direction (the WRONG direction), so they could turn into Bojangle’s. Poor person coming down the road in the correct direction as this was occurring!
Really? Really! If only I had the power to revoke their right to drive!
