Well, here I am again doing a night shift. (There is an irony here, see if you can spot it). But this time I have a different spin on the good deeds angle. Earlier this evening I was travelling on Maple Avenue when the car in front of me abruptly stopped to pick up a hitchhiker. Now this common problem of kids hitchhiking is for another time, and perhaps a different blog (that is or will be linked) but for now my point is this. Some dude feels that he is doing some good deed, so because of that, he feels that he is so important that common courtesy and the rules and etiquette of the road don't apply to him. No signal, no pulling over to the side, just stop, and the heck with the rest of the world, and everyone around me, I am doing a good deed. See me do the good deed and bask in my glory. .
It is dangerous, selfish and stupid to do that, and something - just don't get.
Please feel free to enlighten me (I'm sure someone will

And you are surprised because? This is the holy shtell of Monsey. Common courtesy doesn't apply, especially to drivers. Most people don't signal and no one thinks that a hands free cell phone law applies to them (who me?). Come on, you've lived here long enough.
know your fellow drivers and keep a reasonable distance and don't sweat it plus drive carefully
