Blog Post: Questioning Laws and How We Follow Them—or Don't
Moorpark, is for our family, to be safe, to enjoy the amenities of a large town, the charm of a small town and if we can all think, it's not about me, it's about all of us that will help.
Venting with simple irritations that I appreciate the opportunity to voice . . .
Just wondering why so many people who drive don’t signal when they change lanes, speed onto the freeway and have just themselves in their car but don’t stop at the light that is supposed to control access to the freeway.
When did the rules of the road—and for that matter, the law—become a choice to follow, or not to follow? If our state is so strapped for cash, maybe a good start could be the following: change lanes without signaling, get a ticket; Access the freeway and ignore the control light, get a ticket; Talk on your cell phone while driving, get a ticket.

Seems to me the law is supposed to be for everyone and being in California does not exclude the responsibility to follow the rules of the road, to pay attention, to drive carefully, drive at a safe speed and to be a good citizen.
Why do car pool lanes allow any car with two or more people in the car, regardless of age? Would it be a reasonable suggestion that car pool lanes be for two licensed drivers at least? How does having a non-licensed driver as a second passenger free up space on the freeways? It doesn’t make sense; The car pool lane should be for cars with two or more licensed drivers to make it effective.

Why do people not even look before they cross any street? Will they be hurt less if hit because they feel they have the right of way? Same goes for a parking lot and in a shopping center. Just presuming a car will watch out for you doesn’t mean you will be less hurt if you get hit.
We are all so fortunate to live here in this charming city of Moorpark so we don’t turn into what some of our neighboring cities have become. Perhaps a free class should be availble for all residents to formalize how every citizen can be more effective in providing a safer environment in our fair city. A simple solution or slogan, "Remember it is about all of us, not about just me."
We all need to do a better job to take a deep breath, appreciate what we have that is so precious and approach every action thinking, "it’s all about all of us, never about me."
