Typical

 Was talking to a neighbor who recounted a fairly typical experience that happened to them Thursday.
  Seems they were driving home around 1p.m, maybe a little before. When they were waiting at a stop sign (three way stop) to turn onto 46th st, a small yellow hatchback was approaching the opposing stop sign.
 In typical "F" school Windsor Prep Academy parent/driver fashion, the yellow car blew through the stop sign, nearly clipping the front end of said neighbors car ( who had right of way). The yellow hatchback then proceeded to roll through the stop sign turning off of 46th st onto 52nd ave., and then rolled through the stop sign turning off of 52nd. st. onto 45th street.
  Now kids...can we all guess where they were headed? Ding ding ding..winner winner chicken dinner...you guessed right. They went straight into the "F" school Windsor Prep's parking lot.
  I wonder if  the "I own the road so rules don't apply to me" yellow car's driver drives like that when they have their child in the car, or if they just save that behavior for when they are driving alone, and disrespecting other people's neighborhoods?
  Thank goodness it was during school hours so no kids were out, but there could easily have been one of the many elderly neighbors walking, or perhaps the gentleman who walks his grandchild in the stroller, or folks walking their dogs...any number of people or situations...and the obnoxious little yellow car would probably just keep rolling right on up into the obnoxious "F" school Windsor Prep's parking lot.
The sad thing is if one of these inconsiderate jerks were to hit someone, would the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office even care? Probably not ( unless there was a way to garner some positive publicity for the agency)  since they haven't cared so far.
