They'll be stopping more drivers to warn them about common violations, and topics will change each month.

Hopefully they'll go after all of those people talking on their cell phones that weave all over the road and/or drive 10 miles per hour. My favorite occurred about a week ago over by Braemar where this individual was obviously lost but kept on driving hitting the curb and drifting into the oncoming lane while messing with their GPS on their phone. They repeatedly turned and then did a u-turn to get back on Gleason oblivious to the rest of the world.

I'm sorry, but if someone is so clueless as to attempt to drive without being able to see out of their windshield, they shouldn't have a license in the first place.

What would help is to move school bus stops to side streets instead of having them on main thoroughfares, but I guess student safety is not important when it inconveniences the school district.

I'm all for safety. That includes having the bus pull completely over on the shoulder instead of blocking traffic with orange flashers half way in the road. And deploy the red sign immediately, not after sitting there for a while with the orange flashers on. Inconsistent behavior on the part of bus drivers just leads to more confusion.

So are they going to teach them how to drive those traffic circle (drive around not over) and what a yield sign means (slow down stop if needed – not speed up to get ahead of the person in the lane).
