RIGHT ON GREEN SHOULD NOT BE CRIME

one thing that i hate more than...a lot of other things...are buses. i love the concept but i hate the actual monstrous vehicles constantly holding me up and blowing black smoke in my vents. my hate for buses has made me sympathize more with bus drivers. but regardless, when i am driving and i catch a glimpse of a bus that is about to slow me down, i can feel my pulse start to rise and my road rage begin to flare.

one of the most aggravating bus situations is when you are stuck behind one that is making a stop on a corner, ON A GREEN LIGHT, when you need to turn right. did you know it is illegal to turn right in front of a bus? i mean, it makes sense, but common! and by the time everyone has exited/entered the bus the light turns red. that bus has just made you miss 15 seconds of a perfectly good green light. and now you can't even turn right on red cause that blasted bus is going straight and is going to ruin the morning of the person it bulldozes in front of to get back in the left lane.

  1. Please, I always turn right in front of a stopped bus. It's not like they're waiting on you - they're loading 6 extremely slow passengers. Plus, since when do Chicago drivers follow any traffic law??

  2. ...since this chicago driver has donated about one month wages toward driving/parking tickets!

  3. i dont think they have cameras though to take pics of this illegal activity. so long as there's no popo around i think i'm fine. or/(slash) when im in my severe road rage moods i do anything whatever i feel like whether it be illegal or not sticking to the idea that if i ever get pulled over i'll just go into a tirade about how i hate living here and i don't really care just give me the bleeping ticket so help me god and start crying (if you recall it worked pretty well about two years ago when i got pulled over and told the officer yes i know i was speeding by a lot yes i saw you and guess what i dont really care i dont need a lecture just give me the damn ticket and i will be on my way. and he was so shocked by this emotion he'd never seen that he let me off with a warning) so.... i think it may happen again
