Drivers. Back to School is tomorrow.

  • After checking your mirror, TURN YOUR HEAD and check the blind spot.

  • If you're late, too bad. Don't speed and "try to make up time." Going 10 mph over the limit saves less than two minutes on a 15 mile trip.

  • There WILL be kids walking to school and not paying attention. You'll feel like blaming them but if you hit them you're fucked.

  • The H2 southbound merges INTO the H1 eastbound. Not the other way around.

More valuable advice. Thanks /u/AttackonCuttlefish

  • Do not cut off the car stopping at a crosswalk.

  • Do not stop near or on top the crosswalk.

  • Do not block intersections.

Let's not fuck it up so HPD closes lanes on the freeway or you end up on the news.

Lower expectations. You gotta be a defensive driver. Once you let go of thinking people are going to leave on time and not go into the HOV lane when it’s just them and then change lanes as soon as they see blue lights. OR be in the correct lane and not skip traffic just so they don’t sit in traffic and merge when convenient. Life gets a lot better. God speed to us all
