Lesson39 "Anyone Can Sign a Ticket."
The police say hundreds of offenders have been caught by Mrs. Gordon, a citizen who 1 the license numbers of people who break the law in this way, and sends them into the local police station.
"Anyone can sign a ticket,"said a police office, "and she's signed a lot."
A driver was heading down Clifton Avenue this morning, when she found herself stopped behind a school bus with its red lights flashing. Instead of stopping, the driver started to overtake the bus. But Mrs. Gordon was 2 , and warned her not to do it. However, the driver passed the bus anyway, and Mrs. Gordon took her number.
Another driver received a summons in the mail after a similar incident 3 . When she entered the courtroom, she found Mrs. Gordon there, notebook in hand."They tell me I should be a policewoman, but I don't want to be," says Mrs. Gordon. "It's just that these people are breaking the law, and they shouldn't."
Every weekday morning Mrs. Gordon stands in front of the main supermarket, notebook and pencil at the ready, waiting to catch people passing school buses 4 . "Nobody else wants to be bothered,"she says, "but I won't just sit there twiddling my thumbs. I want to do something about it."She began her personal campaign a year ago when her 13-year-old Jack started taking the school bus.
But the job is getting harder. She used to give the police the license numbers and sign a complaint, but now they want more evidence before they will act. She must now give a description of the car and the driver, as well as appear in court personally. A lot of people know she's there, and 5 stopping, but she knows they wouldn't stop if she wasn't watching.
