| When I leave for work late, I end up in a school zone surrounded by morons. The parents actually drive on the wrong side of the street trying to get into the drop-off lane first. I stopped at the stop sign, the proceeded in MY lane where I met head-on a mother who was trying to butt in the line of cars waiting to turn left into the school. She was on the phone and actually had the gall to shake her finger at me. I just shook my head. No need for even a horn. The parents she was trying to beat into the school drop off knew exactly what she was doing. Unfortunately, that kind of thing makes a school zone REALLY dangerous. There are stop signs to stop traffic for the kids to cross on the south side of the school, but crossing guards on the north side of the school. I would think they need crossing guards on the south side, too - cuz parents just breeze through the stop sign. It's the parents that are doing stuff wrong and then they wonder why it's not safer for the kiddos.
