So after all my ranting about bad drivers, I’ve decided to do something about it, to “put my money where my mouth is”… to “walk the walk”…
I’m applying to become a Neighbourhood Pace Car. Now, from what I understand, there is no real application process, you basically just sign a pledge from and mail it into the Ecology Action Centre and they send you a couple of bumper stickers to place on your car’s bumper (or rear window, etc) (I’ve posted the pictures of the logos to the right).
The pledge is basically just a statement that you will:
- drive the speed limit
- obey pedestrian crossings
- be courteous to other drivers
- pay attention to the road (not your passengers, devices, etc)
- display the pace car logos on your car.
Simple enough eh? Well, if you are interested in stifling the bad driving epidemic, here’s a link to the pledge form. Fill it out and pass it in at one of the participating locations listed on this page.
I’ll walk the pledge from down to the Purdy’s Wharf location today…
