I was hanging out yesterday with the (cross fingers) to-be local MPP.
He has a background as a municipal lawyer and was involved in planning.
So I finally had somebody to bounce ideas off of.
Long time to get here - but worth it.
My own addition to unsafe driving practices follows.
1) at stop light
2) multiple lanes each way - or wide enough that a car car sneak past for right hand turn
3) consistently, the car in the middle sits ON the line, not behind it
4) the result is the car trying to turn right cannot see pedestrians crossing towards his side
5) by creeping out far enough to see traffic, to know if a right hand turn is safe,
6) either risks hitting a walker, or at least obstructing the cross walk.
In the meantime, the ignorant driver in the middle, somehow stereotypically in a SUV to better block vision for somebody in *just* a car, sits there in unknowing bliss.
I think driver ed needs to be much more detailed and rigorous, complete with micromanagement.
Maybe offering to waive the fee to renew their car license in exchange for a 1 day 'refresher course' could work?
