There's a car that I get behind far too often on the way to work.
It's a little gray POS with the license plate
SAMBO
A woman drives it. The car has pink seat covers.
I have come to recognize, and loath, this car because the driver absolutely refuses to make a right on red. There's an intersection where you practically have a protected right turn - the right lane of the road we're turning onto ends several hundred feet after the intersection. Most drivers use that as a sort of acceleration ramp so they can merge into traffic. Not SAMBO. She just sits there.
The great part is that once we're on TW Alexander Dr, a main thoroughfare into RTP, she'll zip along at 15-20mph over the speed limit.
I dislike SAMBO.
I have just finished a quick Twitter and jumped on here to update myself, and now had to clean my laptop before continuing.
To be exact, I've just had to wipe off the mouthfull of Californian Rose that I've just spat over my screen & keyboard ..... not a pretty sight, so i apologise now !!!!!
My mirth is two-fold .....
here in Dublin, Eire, we have weight sensors at traffic lights to aid the change of lights .... so once a vehicle is sat at the "Stop" line & therefore is stationary at a junction, the lights detect this and change the lights accordingly .... at the end of my road I turn right on a BOX junction to face 150 metres of road to the Main road (bear with me !!!!) which also has another Box junction because of a road that is within 3mtr of the main junction (ie a right turn just before the main junction on a road that runs parallel to the one that I'd have just drivin down (Did that help or just confuse the Living Daylights out of everyone ?? ))
Anywho ........ every so often there are people who stop short of the Box Junction at the Main Road junction ..... and so sit 8 mtrs behind the weight sensors !!!!!!
So guess what don't happen !!!!!!!!
Yep NO LIGHT CHANGE !!!!!!
Also my Grandma had an embarrasing habit of refering to a certain part of my anatomy when I was a child as my SAMBO ....... I just turned 40 & I still can't work out why !!!!
So
