Unfuckingbelievable. I just went to drop off Tall Boy at school (it's a short day, so he starts at 8am instead of 8:15), and there were two cars parked in front of the school double. One of them was this big white sedan in front of a big dark SUV. I drove around and past both cars after dropping him off, and then took my left turn at the corner. Half-way down the very short block I noticed that white sedan was making a bombing run up my car's ass, and was about to try and PASS ME ON MY LEFT as I was coming up on my next left turn. I signaled I was about to turn so the she-bitch behind me wouldn't cause an accident and she HONKED at me as I took my turn! What a fucking bitch! In a residential neighborhood, no less. I was driving at my normal pace, which is slightly above legal.

Parents dropping their kids off in the morning are beyond fucking insane, some of them. It's a wonder I haven't heard of parent morning rage, or a parent running over a child yet in southern California.

I wish I'd gotten her license plate. I have reported people for unsafe driving around schools before.

The administration put out a warning to parents last year? Or the year before that. I think it's an annual thing. The traffic got *so bad* that they finally started a service at a gate that rarely got used because it's farthest away from the main gate--so when I can, I use that.

The parking police also come by at least every other week, too, and when it gets bad again, I see a patrol car making its way down the streets a few times.

Perhaps your school's admin could be more proactive, or you could take photos/video one or two mornings as visual proof?

I might start doing it, if I could drag myself outside in the morning earlier. NOT a morning person here.
