Speeding in a school zone
Let’s face it- before we were drivers, the term “school zone” had a completely different definition than it does now. Now, it’s a pain for many drivers, and the penality for disobeying is stiff. So my pet peeve is when someone is tailgaiting me down here in South Florida even with the flashing yellow traffic signals demanding that we travel 15MPH.
Sometimes I fantasize about a motor cop pulling this slob over, but that has never happened yet.
Other times I fantasize about getting out of the car and explaining to him about the school zone speed limit.
There are some days when everyone puts peer pressure on me to go over 15MPH- it’s like everyone is ignoring the school zone flashing light.
Granted there are some cases where it is hard to know if you are even in a school zone if you don’t see the flashing light or sign (like if you turned onto the street), but it seems like everyone plays “follow the leader” even with the yellow flashing traffic signal.
Lazy Man Ethics (LME) says to always follow the leader and “go with the flow”. I hate LME.
It is especially frustrating when an Enneagram Type 8 or Enneagram Type 7 “knows” it’s teacher’s planning day at a certain middle school and “knows” that the cops won’t enforce the law even if the yellow light is flashing. Yeah, okay, I’m sure a judge is going to be OK with that.
