What’s Going On?

Lately, I’ve heard and noticed that cops have been cracking down on drivers who don’t complete full stops or yield to pedestrians at intersections. I don’t know about you, but I’ve starting to see a trend happening now. That trend is to wake drivers up and to let them know that they are not rulers of the road.

As I was having lunch with my friend, I noticed about seven motorcycle cops, probably even more stopping people for not yielding to pedestrians at 16th St. and Wisconsin St. I noticed also that there were a few down the block as well making sure cars completed full stops. I then later saw about six squad cars as well. I had no idea what was going, but my best guess was that they were either blitzing together or they wanted to get some message out to the public.

Currently the city of San Francisco is going through many budget cuts and financially I know that there are tons of cut backs. Now I’m wondering if more tickets are being issued to try and counterbalance the police department’s budget or what. It is not even the end of the month and I’m not sure if quotas are even being enforced at the moment. All I know now is that drivers need to be more cautious so that they don’t put themselves in a citation situation.

Drive Carefully!
