So I was sitting in traffic yesterday on 347 when a train came along that must have been 3 miles long. I am as close to the car in front of me as I can get, several cars all jammed in waiting, and there is a car equally as close to the back of my car. We are all sitting there waiting for the train to pass. Then I see the lady driver get out of the car directly behind me and she comes up to my window and exclaims she is on a "time constraint" and needed to get to the shuttle, could I move forward so she could turn into this little drive way? The only drive way I saw was to a little brown shack,and it wasn't a major drive way. The shuttle is in the opposite direction and on a different highway. I looked up only to see the bumper of the car in front of me, I could not move. She wanted me to move my car over to the next lane which would have caused me to block both lanes as I would have been at a angle...Just then I see a maricopa cop come flying up the middle lane and stopped right next to me... as we had to wait for the train. Needless to say the lady behind me was not happy. I think we are all on "time constraints" and should be patient and not ask other drivers to do illegal, stupid things. Had I moved and had I been blocking both lanes, that cop, who was obvioulsy repsonding to a call, would have given me a ticket. As I drove by the high school I saw that was his destination. But, he had to wait for the train too. I could not believe that she tried to get me to move in such a way that would have been illegal, and caused other drivers trouble!

not sure why you find that hard to believe. most everyone these days thinks that they are the center of the universe and that all anyone else does is get in the way.
