Old Lady Traffic Hazzard

The woman stopped at the red light.
(Her mouth hung open. Her eyes were wide.)
I think she looked both ways.
The law allows right turn on red, after the stop and making sure it is safe.
Never mind all that onrushing traffic; those cars won?t hit you, it?s rude.
(Her mouth hung open. Her eyes were wide.)
Turning on your turn signal gives you the right to pull into the other lane.
How rude of that man to honk his horn at you.
You should stare, with your mouth hung open and your eyes wide.
Stare at him
      and not where you are going.
(Her mouth hung open. Her eyes were wide.)
