Traffic correspondent Paul Mac weighs in on the traffic debate

Ever since Paul Mac once said Car-be-que while cutting a traffic promo for the radio station, I've always considered him something of an expert on traffic. So with SportsbyFletch now trying to fix the country's problems, we turn to Sleazy P for insight on traffic.

Ever notice how much easier it is in the Summer or Christmastime? All those freaking moms off the road. Can't really do anything about old people... but seriously traffic would move faster if everyone paid attention and drove with the courtesy in mind that the guy behind me might want to make it through the freaking light TOO!!!!
Driving your kid to school just makes more wusses.

SBF responded: yeah, how about the guy that has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG line of cars behind himd when the light FINALLY turns green, but he decides to left the people who JUST HAD a green continue to turn right. Especially since odds are they are going to clog up the cycle and mess everything up for the folks behind him. Does he think he is being a nice guy? I don't get it. THEY JUST HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO. NOW IT IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO GO.
I dunno, maybe he's too busy texting to realize the light is now green.

Paul Mac's solution: The instant the light is green you should be going... hopefully leaving one of those red-running douches out to dry in the middle of the intersection. If we're lucky enough they will be the recipient of a red light ticket when they don't make it out on that light. I can't stand that crap.
On on ramps to the highway.... in heavy traffic you let one car in.... it's common courtesy... one car then the next car lets one in it's like a freaking zipper... it's very fluid.
If there is a wreck... move that freaking hunk of crap out of the way and get on with it.

Traffic, which we here at SBF STILL don't understand would be helped by these steps. SBF's solution. JUST GO
