Rt 17 heads up

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I also have waited outside the line at times.  However it is because I am riding with a close friend and she picks me up before the slug line.  Dont want to make anyone mad, just ride with the person that lives near my house and get into the car before she gets to the slug pick up point.

	I'm glad to hear the other side of situations. It a good reminder that things are not always as we perceive them.

The problem is that he is very large ...and cannot negotiate the seat belt. I did not appreciate the tactic he uses ...and short of being rude and asking him to get out of the car ...I gave him the ride. In the future ...I think I will avoid the Rt 17 line ...and opt for the Rt 610 or Rt 630 riders.

	I have been caugt off guard twice as well by this gentleman. He is nice, but the first time he got in my front seat, he did not buckle the seat belt, but he was so big, I could not see out my side mirror and he could barely get out of my SUV. The second time he got in the back seat, again, he had a hard time getting out. I do not want to be rude, but I really do not want to pick him up, can I deny him a ride, even though he is the first in line? I feel uncomfortable because he cannot put a seat belt on and he blocks my view of traffic.
