My Day In Court

This is Annabelle our life risking crossing guard. Every day she helps our kids cross a very busy 4 lane street. She is a professional guard and never surprises the traffic and makes sure all 4 lanes stop before calling the kids across. This crossing is very dangerous and not respected by drivers. There are flashing lights above the speed reduction sign, several cross walk signs, its spelled out on the pavement, and a huge illuminated sign that hangs above the crossing. Several times a week there are police officers at or around the crossing to watch the traffic, because it is that bad. Every day that the officers are out they pull at least one person over. The other day Annabelle was stopping traffic and like many mornings a driver was not paying attention and had to slam on their brakes. How many times have you driven to work not really paying attention !! Well the police officer was standing off to the side of the road on this day and walked up to the car and had it pull over to the side. The driver received a ticket for careless driving and other things. The driver is going to fight the ticket, apparently they don’t have children walking to school. I have been subpoenaed to court as a witness. Please pray that I do not sound like a bumbling idiot. Or that the driver pays the fine. Pray for Annabelle too. We a grateful for her and how serious she is at her job.
