One thing I do have to say about Minneapolis drivers is that they aren't nearly as bad as some in the 'burbs. I saw this morning on my *short* commute (3mi or so) to Foley Park and Ride: * Inattentive driver at stop sign, 15 cars waited behind him/her to figure out to go. * Person takes a right turn at a light and then a U turn just feet later because the left turn lane wasn't green and had people waiting in it. * Person turning left out of a non-left-turn lane. * Person turning into busway (theres a short bus lane around Foley park and ride and a entrance onto 610) and most likely took the bus-only 610 entrance. Red light running sucks, but this was like a total ignorance for all laws this morning. I was surprised. And I'm the one with high insurance rates. (being under 25 sucks.) In any case, the Minneapolis drivers I've encountered have some sense as to actual rules of the road and are a bit agressive at lights. -- Scott Dier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ringworld.org/ Coon Rapids, Home UMN, east bank, Work _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
