Here in York County, we have our own little reality show. The Amazing Race takes place on a little old route we like to call '83. Contestants take on the task of getting from destination A to B, somewhat intact, still surrounded by their vehicle. Being reality, of course, it is not just a straight shot.
All entrants are encouraged to make the race as interesting as possible which means zipping, clipping and cutting. And just like in Candyland, there's a swamp or two thrown in, i.e. the Market Street Exit, Entrance ramp. Now this is the joke of the show, thrown into entertain. Get this--drivers are actually supposed to get off '83 and ON '83 on the SAME ramp. (guffaw is appropriate here) Mindreading is the best tactic, since you really must anticipate what all the other drivers are going to do with this ramp. The cameras are always fixed on this part, since it is the most entertaining part of the game.
Well I personally must declare a winner the other day. There was a female driver in a maroon colored Kia Sedona that had several passengers. Her license plate started with YKX, I believe. This driver, actually used her turn signal, and waited until there was enough room in front of my car to come over to the lane safely. She deftly maneuvered her vehicle in front of me, without cutting me off, giving me a heart attack, or causing me to slam the brakes, emergency-style..
This woman, obeyed traffic laws, but more than that, exuded courtesy and concern for other drivers. I feel honored to have been one of them.
Hers was a landmark decision, one that you just hardly ever see anymore! I sure hope you read this lady driver. You were not only a life savor for me that day, but think of the lives you probably have already saved!!
