Adaptive Change
Has anyone else notice how quickly Chicago can turn an otherwise laid back and courteous driver into a ruthless, gun it at the lights, cut off or be cut off ass of a driver? I noticed that yesterday.
After hitting the publish button I was reminded of a time when my brother came home to visit after moving to Boston. We were a few cars back at the University/Glen light when he starting cursing and laying into his horn. I asked what his problem was.
“The light is f*cking green!”
Obviously, he didn’t know how to adapt.

Peoria drivers are the absolute WORST when it comes to moving when the light turns green. I was the third car in line on War Drive westbound at Glen and Sheridan the other day, and I didn’t make the light because the f*cktard in front of me sat. And sat. And sat. Until the light was yellow, then went. And I would like to know where the traffic law is that states drivers have to wait until the car in front of them is 50 feet ahead before they can take their foot off the brake and proceed through the light.

Nice call, Cory.
And if you want to see some bad driving, check out how many people run the red arrow at War and Glen….
Let’s not forget the “I refuse to turn right at a red light” or ” I wonder if it’s O.K. to proceed on a green arrow”……
