My Pet Peeve of Provo

School starts again on Monday. With this comes the HUNDREDS of people that disappeared over the summer. Yeah, all those people who CAN'T DRIVE!

Ok. So they can drive. They're just not smart drivers.


Case in point: The Suicide Lane-ers.


These are the people marked in RED in the picture above. They see an opening to turn left on the opposite lane of traffic, so they take it and decide to drive in the Suicide Lane until there is an opening. The problem is that half the time they don't act like they're going to make it into the suicide lane, they're trying to get into your lane when you're RIGHT THERE! I'm already paranoid of being cut off, and these people are the type that would do something like that to you.

The other problem these drivers cause is that they just stick around in the Suicide Lane without a care in the world waiting for something to open up so they can merge over, but all I really want to do is make a left turn from right where they're sitting. I shouldn't have to take a detour because of something like that.

It's kind of frustrating. Especially considering that I've seen it at least twice a day everyday for the last week.

Some people's children . . .

so true. i always loved summer in provo and hated it when all the students came back. not just the streets crowded with terrible drivers, but the crowds at restaurants, movies 8, everywhere.

good luck with the new semester!
