I have said that exact same thing many times in the past, but I took it a step further. In today's world with online and over the phone bill paying, shopping, and many shopping choices like wallyworld and major grocery stores oven 24/7, I think it ought to be a misdemanor traffic offense to be driving on major roads and traffic arteries during 7-8am, 12am-2pm, and 5-6pm Mon-Friday. The only exceptions would be if you are commuting to work or are on a work related meal break, are a public servant on a work related task such as a police officer/EMS, have a verifiable medical appointent, have a verifiable airline or other transportation ticket, or have a special pass to dump/pick up a kid off at school and that should be granted ONLY IF there is no bussing in your area and you are part of a mandatory carpool with a minimum of 3 kyds, and various other medical and emergency situations.
This would cut down a GREAT DEAL on moos and their SmooV'S unnecessarily clogging up highways because they "felt like" shopping at noon when they could have EASILY done so between 8am and noon or between 2-4, or any of the OTHER 20 hours in the day, old retired people who have 24 hours a day to go to the post office from doing so at 8am and further slowing down people who are still working from getting TO work, single moos having their giggly "mom's day out" lunches at area restaurants at 1pm when they could have easily met earlier or later, etc.......SOMEONE has to get to and from work to keep the welfare checks coming in and to keep the economoy going, so I don't think it's too much to ask for people to keep their asses OFF the road, while others are trying to go to and from work and enjoy a short meal break during the day or before they have to be AT work.
The main question I have is WHY would ANYONE want to be on the roads during rush hour traffic unless it was absolutely necessary? When I don't ABSOLUTELY have to be out then I keep my ass at home and only venture out during non peak hours. It's not difficult at all to shop, run errands, etc........during other times than rush hour traffic. Why do people even do this in the first place? THAT is the big question.
