Woman assails driver trying to cheat stop sign at Soudan and Forman
Video has been posted of an incident at the four-way stop corner of Soudan and Forman Aves. in recent days. A driver pulls an old cheat by doing a two-for-one going south on Forman. A woman pushing a baby carriage east on Soudan becomes profane and very angry. Language caution. It cannot be said that the woman was nearly hit, at least not until she tried to stop the car with her body. No doubt she had a point. The driver was running the sign because he was not prepared to wait, as he is required to do, to let her cross. In her anger, the mom leaves the baby carriage and gets in front of the car which seems dangerous. Video. Thanks to Jane Auster, Writer-Editor Jane Widerman Communications Inc.
Obvious this woman/mother has experienced being cut off one time too many. Second car (black) should have stopped next to the stroller with the 4-ways flashing until the mother was safe. The 3rd vehicle going the other simply rolled through the stop sign. Crazy!
Speed is not the problem, it’s 90% of the cars rolling through the STOP signs in the area. Authorities should meet their monthly quotas in minutes handing out tickets. They should use unmarked vehicles and not tell their intentions to the media. Best times to catch the bad drivers are from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
