To the Editor:
I am writing this after reading Kiefer Roberts’ “Don’t Do That!” letter to Campus Safety in last week’s issue of The College Voice. He brought up giving citizens-arrest tickets to those cars that “creepily drive behind us on the walking paths”. I am one of those “creepy” people. The reason someone is driving behind you is because it seems you don’t know enough to move to one side of the walkway to let us go by. You don’t even have to move onto the grass, just move slightly to one side-either side. Believe me, its not fun driving on the sidewalk when classes are changing. I arrange approximately fifty events in the Music Department a year, which sometimes includes shopping and then unloading everything into my office in Cummings. Thus, driving on the sidewalk is necessary at times.
Let’s be a little more sympathetic to each others lives and situations, ok?
