Is it just me, or have there been more people pulled-over than usual? The police seem to be out in force, bringing the long arm of the law to, well, to speeders.

I'm thrilled. I'm a long-time believer that St. Louis drivers are amongst the worst you'll find in the country. And I learned to drive in Houston. And I lived in LA. And I've driven in Jersey. But St. Louis has something special: a willful ignorance of traffic laws, the likes of which I've not seen.

I can live with speeding. I can live with the lack of turn signals. It's the utter disdain for consideration that gets me. Texas drivers can be insane, but Texans are normally pretty cordial, and that generally includes time they spend driving. And nobody in L.A. is moving very fast anyway, so they try not to take it out on each other. But in St. Louis, it's every motorist for himself! Nobody lets you in when you try to merge. And the worst: nobody yields for emergency vehicles--and that really bothers me. When you're in too much of a hurry to let an ambulance through...

So hopefully the police are trying to, you know, work on that.
