I had not thought of that! You've managed to stop one of my reccurrent boring thoughts by pointing out my error. :)Owen Ransenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321551101861359844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174897229352741729.post-55280340887947088612016-04-02T14:04:56.967-07:002016-04-02T14:04:56.967-07:00The traffic police person probably isn't there...The traffic police person probably isn't there to optimize the flow of traffic overall, so much as they are there to prevent traffic violations at the interesction, which are more likely at rush hour because more people drive then and are more likely to violate regulations because they are frustrated and in a hurry.<br /><br />As for the small people who are sitting low in cars -- They can't sit up higher, because if they do their feet won't reach the pedals. Cars are designed for the average male body. Average females have to move the seat too close to the steering wheel (it's uncomfortable and increases the odds of being injured or killed by the air bag) in order to read the pedals. Short people have the option of installing pedal extenders, but most probably won't do that, either because they share the car with a taller person, or because they are used to driving this way and don't see it as a problem.Rosemary Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14188485725647779804noreply@blogger.com
