Dear Milwaukee Drivers

Dear Milwaukee Drivers,

Right on red is always an option, not a requirement. If cars are coming I am not going to turn infront of them and be killed, and honking at me is not going to make me change my mind. Also, when turning right on red you are still required, by law, to stop before turning - you are still at a red light.

When making any sort of turn, be it left or right, the drivers behind you would appreciate if you used your turn signals as it is the only way we know that you are in fact turning and not just stopped. Furthermore, if your car breaks down in the middle of the road or you feel as though you need to stop or let someone out please put on your four-way flashers - it's all about communication.

Most roads in your city have two lanes for cars (both directions), a lane for bikers (yes, they are supposed to be on the road...), and a lane for curb parking. Why must you constantly pass me using the curb lane? Most of the time there are no other cars in the left lane (the proper passing lane for those of you who don't know) and is getting to the stop sign first really going to get you to your destination any quicker?

Also, riding my ass is not going to make me drive any faster and we would all appreciate if it you would not text while driving. Thank you.

Sincerly,
A Pennsylvania Driver


PS: 3 inches of snow is nothing to freak out about - just take it easy.
