Jaywalking? Yes, I've done that, but I would hardly call it "illegal", although it is wrong.
I never ran a red light, because I didn't start driving until I was 19, since I lived in a highly urban area, we all took the bus.
Now I do run red lights, everytime I'm stuck at it, and there's no one around.
(Did you know that the average person will spend 6 months of their lives waiting at a red light?)
An update: we took my stepdaughter to her new school this morning. We were all briefed on the rules, what to expect, etc. The principal greeted us, and explained that she needed to select her lunch now, because the cafeteria only works on orders. When asked, her reply was: "I dunno!"
. So now the principal knows what she's facing
. (Sometimes, it's just too easy!).
We also had a "small miracle" happen, over the weekend: the ex-girlfriend of my brother in law, is a teacher at the old school. Since my wife is at the university on Monday nights, we only get home at 11h00 pm. This kind person volunteered to pickup my stepson and stepdaughter, right after school, feed them (well, we pay for them to go to McDonalds or something), let them sleep at her place overnight, and drop them off at school the next morning.
I'm still baffled at how kind people can be!
