School has started, and Drive to School Hall of Shame Web Site is
In June, I started this project, but school was almost out. Now school
has started again, and I've begun adding to the site. Now my kids are in two different schools, so I should be able to get even more photos, and I'm hoping to get other people to send some photos in as well. I've splurged the $8 for a domain name: "http://drivetoschoolhallofshame.com" . |

Also, I'm curious why you don't show license plate numbers and drivers' faces. |

In California, and most other states, vehicles must stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk. Also, I'm curious why you don't show license plate numbers and drivers' faces. I was advised against it. |

He wasn't asking about the law, he was asking for evidence of "wrong doing". Got any? Also, I'm curious why you don't show license plate numbers and drivers' faces. I was advised against it. Then from where will the "shame" come? |

Then from where will the "shame" come? The "shame" is in Scharf's claim that this website is "World Famous". This man is a legend only in *his* mind, that's at leat one person who thinks highly of him. |

Besides, any adult with a "Nyah, nyah, nyah-- I'm gonna tell on you!" attitude ought not to be putting up a "hall of shame." If you have evidence of real safety issues involving criminal driving violations, take your pictures (preferably with license plates showing) to your local town council or police department and do something productive about the problem. |

SMS, I have long noted that drivers picking up and dropping off their children at school are horribly preoccupied and oblivious to their surroundings...other than their own children. Driving is atrocious. My wife, who teaches school, agrees with my observations. Probably somewhat analogous to drivers who have so little brain matter available that they cannot even control the pressure of their accelerator foot as they talk on cell phones! But this is NOT a newsgroup for political or civil matters, it is about DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Get the hint? |

But this is NOT a newsgroup for political or civil matters, it is about DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Get the hint? The point really is that just carrying a dSLR (as opposed to a small camera) is an intimidation tool against these drivers (this was the original subject of this post). You'd be amazed to witness the change in behavior of some drivers when you raise the camera and point it at their car; you can read their mind, "why is he pointing a camera at me? should I go or stop? oh, I'm supposed to stop so I'd better stop). |
