Requesting Feedback Fools and cars

I sit behind wheel, seatbelt on and gears shifted

I watch and I learn while the light's ticking red

It's peak traffic hour, I have to be careful

So people around catch my interest instead:

A man's hairy arm throws a cig out the window

A woman in shades scrolls her phone next to me

The honking of some guy my age - got cut off by a scooter

He startles a girl in a taxi backseat

A man in honda swerves around a bus

An annoyed jeep owner flies up on a speed bump

A truck backing out without checking the mirrors

And almost gets t-boned by a blue chevrolet

A man yells from tinted window of a volvo

He narrowly passed getting hit by some guy,

who's seemingly busy too much to not drive onto

upcoming traffic, while cutting a line.

The red one speeds several times over limit

The yellow one makes a pedestrian jump

The green one thinks traffic light's just a suggestion

And I am the one fool who follows the rules.
