The Head Of The Line!

   Let's face it. We all want to be at the head
of the line.
   You know. First at the water fountain in
school. First into the checkout line at the
supermarket. And first in line for those
concert or movie tickets.
    But sometimes you've got to take turns
    And we're suppose to know it's not nice
to "cut" the line.
    With that said I've been going crazy
watching drivers who get a warning that
the Right Lane is closed ahead, but insist
in staying in that lane till the very spot where
it ends. Then they inch their way into the
left lane ahead of all the other drivers who
got their two miles back when the spotted
the warning signs!
   We hit a massive traffic tie up returning
from New York State last week. They were
fixing a bridge and had to close the right
lane while the work was being done. Sure
enough there were "Right Lane Close
Ahead" two miles before the work zone.
But, as usual, half the drivers just stayed
in the right lane until it no longer existed
and that's what caused all the backup.
  I'm told that some states have a signal
system which alternates between each
lane at the point of mandatory merger,
   We need something like that around
these parts!
    Hope you're in the "right" lane so you're
not "left" out and that all your NEWS is
good!
