Dear Neighbors,

What was the worst driving move one has ever witnessed in the confines of the city of Pawtucket?  My award winner occurred at the intersection of Lee and Tweed Streets on July 4.  In a vehicle traveling east of Lee and south on Tweed, a pretty young woman raises her left hand to wave at me. However, her left arm stayed outside the motor vehicle.

  Being flattered, I returned the gesture.  However, I noticed her right arm was around her boyfriend.  Quickly, I noticed that both her feet were wrapped around the car's steering wheel.  Thus, her male friend, sitting in the passenger's seat, was probably using his feet to manipulate the accelator and brake.

This was one of those cliched cases of , "Where is the police officer?"  I do not know if my suspects are still alive.  Hopefully, they did not reproduce.

By the way, look out for speeding ticket greetings from the Pawtucket Police.  They are swarming on the east side of Pawtucket near the Cottage Street Stop & Shop.  On August 14, one police officer had three allegedly speeding vehicles pulled over on George Bennett Way, formerly known as East Pawtucket Industrial Highway. 

Be also aware of the ticketing on School St as a norm, but the exit 27 with no left turn onto George St...has had an abundance of drivers forgetting or chancing the tickets which have been given out.

Drive safely and watch out for the other driver too...and see you all for Nite Out and Woodlawn's powerfest this weekend.

That is the rt 95 south exit that now takes extra time for no good reason other than DOT has got bucks to create problems and not fix the bridge because they have no money...but if you want bad driving...check all of Pawtucket and CF against the weird stuff in Prov and Cranston..

Dear Big Allan,

Police radar near School Street and Beverage Hill Avenue have been a constant since 1982.  See thebucketblog.com for other people who have had problems at the Ground Round, Route 95, East Avenue interchange. By the way, the intersections of Newport Avenue and Armistice Boulevard and Newport Avenue and Central Avenue are also hot spots for radar love.
