Minivan Rant

Just a quick rant: someone out here is teaching people to leave one car-length of space when stopping at the lights. That is precisely what this minivan did this morning.

Normally, I wouldn’t care how much space this person left except that she left this much space when her car was right next to a bus stop. And there were two really long buses behind her. On a Monday morning at 8:30am. Seriously? Any idiot knows that the cardinal rule of driving is being aware of your surroundings, much more important that whatever ridiculous amount of space you leave between cars or whether you indicate for long enough before changing lanes.
