Rafi G is quite the tzadik for he has decided to take on a new chumra this month, he has noticed that while driving in Israel that he tends to stare at the beautiful untznius women walking around when he is stopped at a red light, he has decided that he should just drive right through intersections if there are untznius women present.
Unbeknown to Rafi G this practice is halacha in places like Brooklyn where Rabbis have told people to disobey traffic rules and regulations in order to maintain the tzniusness of the local neighborhood. So instead of picking their noses while staring at women prancing along in the crosswalks, many Brooklyn drivers merely drive right through.
I have noticed that other chumros while driving are practiced in Brooklyn and these include double parking to prevent scantily clad hipsters from riding their bikes in the frum neighborhoods and driving really shitty cars so that untznius women will be unattracted to the men driving them.

Alternative: have a ‘traffic goy’ in your car with you that will tell you when it’s tzinius drive. It’s pikuah nefesh!
oops ‘will tell you when it’s tzinus to drive, and you can open your eyes’

A shayla: Are the stories about Brooklyn true or did you just make them up?
David because your new to the blog I won’t make fun of you, because I want to keep you around.
Much of what I write is sarcastic, so those actions happen but not for those reasons.
you’re really not that funny anymore…sorry dude get some new material:(
I stop at all of them.
Anonymous that’s funny because I have been getting the exact same comment on every post since I began blogging.
FYI – though rafi g is a tzaddik, he doesn’t actually employ this chumra.
he was mocking it just like you intend to do.
secondly, the chumra says nothing about running red lights, but it would have been still funny (and true) if you said that you would like to add your own twist/super chumra by even running red lights.
Shlomo I figured that driving through intersections without looking implied running red lights.
Actually Rafi G specifically told me he runs over anyone he deems sexy to teach them a lesson.
hesh I liked your earlier material. It’s just getting old.
