Attention Columbia drivers!
I realize that you need to be places. I realize that gas prices are high, your tempers are shorter because of it, and I also realize that if it starts raining while you're driving, you start driving with your ass.
However, even considering your low intelligence as a group, there is something you should have been aware of, but apparently aren't.
This is a crosswalk.
If the light is red you are supposed to stop before the first line, like the car in the picture. Not stop before the second line. Not stop after the second line.
The. First. Goddamned. Line.
If there is someone crossing in the crosswalk, do not move your car forward into them. It is rude. It may lead them to kick in your fucking headlights with their steel-toed work boots. Do not block their path by stopping in the crosswalk. They may have had a bad day at work and climb across your hood, horribly fucking up your paint job in the process and not giving a good goddamn about it.
Once again...
This is a crosswalk:
Learn the rules or stay the fuck off the road.

No Kidding
I HAVE kicked in headlights, I HAVE walked across hoods of cars, I HAVE threatened drivers (since, technically, LEGALLY, their easing into MY space on the road (between the lines) they ARE assaulting me with a deadly weapon (a car) and so technically, legally, I am defending myself. So, being in the intersection during an opposing light, blocking the low of traffic (pedestrian) and assault. Three nice charges I advise them to explain to their insurance company when they explain why the need to replace a grill that I've just turned into little plastic bits.
People just become stupid in cars.
