ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON I WITNESSED SEVERAL EASTBOUND MOTORISTS ON DELANCEY ST. BEING TICKETED FOR THE $115 BOX BLOCKING VIOLATION UPON ATTEMPTING TO CROSS CHRYSTIE, BUT FALLING SHORT.
A NIGHT DRIVER SHARED HIS SAD STORY WITH ME THIS WEEK. HE WAS ON AMSTERDAM IN THE 80's, WANTING TO MAKE A TURN, BUT A GARBAGE TRUCK SAT DOUBLE PARKED IN THE TURNING LANE. SO HE DROVE AROUND IT AND ANGLED HIS CAB ABOUT 45 DEGREES TOWARDS THE STREET HE INTENDED TO TURN UNTO, WHICH WAS THE ONLY SPACE AVAILABLE BEFORE THE CROSSWALK. THIS WOULD SERVE AS A WARNING TO THE SANITATION GUYS IN CASE THEY DECIDED TO ROLL. HE PUT ON HIS TURN SIGNAL AND SAT THERE AWAITING THE GREEN LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN A COP CAR BEHIND HIM WENT WOOP WOOP AND BLARED 'PULL OVER' ON THE MEGAPHONE. SO HE MADE THE TURN AND SAT TIGHT WHILE THE COP PROCEEDED TO WRITE HIM TWO TICKETS: ONE FOR RUNNING A STEADY RED AND ONE FOR IMPROPER TURN. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A FISH NET OR WHAT?
WHEN TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ALONG WOODHAVEN BLVD. IN QUEENS, BEWARE OF A SUCCESSION OF RED LIGHT CAMERAS: AT JAMAICA AV, LIBERTY, AND PITKIN.
