I was at the mall earlier this afternoon. As I was leaving the parking lot, I headed towards an exit with 3 lanes: one for entry, one for exiting left and one for exiting right. There was a car in the Right Exit lane (the lane I was using also) blinking left. They were not turning right. They're lucky I wasn't turning left also.

Everyday here the desert.

In a George Carlin routine... he said we should all be issued dart guns.
You shoot an offending drivers car with it. And when they have more than 3 darts on it... they get hauled away.

I've been tempted to parallel park between some of these people at the signals.

Cops are pretty hard on this here. Friend got a ticket when she glanced down at her phone while stopped at a light. I think the speed cameras will also fine people who are on their phone while driving.

The thing is, that if your phone is in a mount attached to the car then it is assumed to be used for maps and directions so it is legal to get distracted by it.

What I notice - or maybe just what annoys me most - is people who stop and then creep up until they're IN the intersection, or stop three car-lengths behind the car in front of them and then creep in little moves. It's like they're afraid if they actually STOP they'll never move again. guh

Denver is known to be one of the worst cities for bad drivers. It’s like Mad Max on the highways.
