Your own problems and solutions


-All the dumb parents in the morning who dont know how to drive in the school parking lot.
Solution- Have two seperate lanes. One for driving out and one for picking up/ droping off.

-The constrution all around the school which causes a huge traffic mess.
Solution- They could do all the work around here in the summer before school. Or they can do their work after school is out.

-All the people on the highway that are in the fast lane but go the same speed as the people in the slow lane.
Solution- They should enforce the fast lane as just a passing lane more.

-The old people driving that pretty much can't anymore.
Solution- Once you reach a certain age you have to take another road test.
