I’ve been sitting out on my front porch this morning, drinking my coffee, doing some reading and watching the world spin around.
Twice in the past 45 minutes, two different drivers have stopped their vehicles at the intersection outside my house to check their phones. I applaud the fact that they are focusing on one thing at a time, but here’s the deal: pick a better place to stop.
Both drivers chose to stop in the lane of traffic, right at an uncontrolled intersection. This causes oncoming/cross traffic to question their intentions. Are they going to go? Do they know how to navigate an uncontrolled intersection? Are they going to turn? Confusion and frustration pretty quickly become the two dominant emotions.
Moral of the story: be picky about where you choose to stop. It matters to other people.
