I wish I had the gumption of all of you above. I can't drive to my out of town doc's appts, and have to depend on a Medicaid/low cost bus called TRAX to drive me. It's the only way I can get there, believe me, and I don't want to offend them. I'm pretty sure they can deny me transport if they wish. But drivers tend to both eat and/or talk on cell phones the whole trip. I'm not scared or anything - it would be better than my driving, if they drove with their toes! Besides, I'm not liable for anything, since I'm not eating or talking, so I won't get the ticket! Just thought I would throw that in. People are too busy not to multitask these days, I guess, but it's kink of offensive. I can stand up for others, but not myself! billieJ
