[quote=Anonymous]You are ridiculous OP. I have been driving on the Close for many years too. To single out SUV drivers says more about you than about those drivers. And to be “cut off” twice in one day suggests more about your driving than others - you may want to engage in some self-reflection. I never see parents or boys driving "aggressively" or cutting others off. What I do see is parents who don’t seem to understand that they need to [u]be more aware and considerate of others[/u]. Come on people it is not rocket science: drive on the correct side of the road not in the middle of it hogging two lanes of traffic, use the proper exit lane as marked (don’t turn left from the right lane), if you are waiting for your kid in the afternoon/evening, pull up as other cars depart and make room for other people who are also picking up their kids, and for god’s sake, don’t hold everyone else up blocking the thoroughfare because your kid takes forever to get his stuff together in the morning. My personal pet peeve is the last - those parents who block senior circle or Hearst Hall circle because your child doesn’t have it together and takes 5+ minutes to gather his or her stuff in the morning, get gear out of your trunk that could have been in the back seat, all the while shoving books and papers and sports gear into backpacks and bags as he is getting out of the car completely disorganized and unprepared. And more often than not those kids have parents/drivers who get out too to "help" their kid. You aren’t helping your kid, you are infantilizing him. It’s selfish and incredibly rude to the people stuck behind you whose kids got organized before they left the house and get right out of the car with all their stuff. [/quote]
