I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself. Please post your comments by clicking on the "comments" link at the bottom of each post. Although I do moderate comments, you need not be a registered user to post them.
Here's a test that supposedly tells you what your "driver personality" is. I rated as a "Dilligent Driver". Those of you that rate as a "Couragous Commuter", please stay away from me.

I'm a "diligent" driver as well.
But... my pet peeve around Eureka is the idiots who sit at lights after the green because they are asleep, texting, phoning, etc - they deserve a horn toot. Also, the timid people (mostly females) who won't enter an intersection until someone else goes first - tear up their licenses!
I suppose my pet peeve, at least of those that I find mildly annoying, are people who don't know you can turn left on a red light.
Yes, you can turn left on a red light if you're in the left lane of a one way street turning onto the left hand lane of another one way street.
In Eureka, the intersection of H Street and Harris is one such intersection. If you're traveling south on H and the light is red at Harris, you can turn left there as long as there's no traffic coming from west on Harris.
I've waited behind any number of people at that intersection that sit through the red light when it's perfectly clear to turn. There they sit. And some of them look to by about my age, too, so it isn't something they recently stopped teaching in driver ed, either.
How about drivers who slam on their brakes at the last second at stop signs? They usually don't stop until the front of their car is sticking way into traffic. Scary!
