“Courtesy” dictionary definition: graciousness, polite, consideration for others. Are these words found in your dictionary of life in 2016?

If you have been on S.C. 707 and experienced all the traffic problems because of the new construction, it is a nice surprise to see that courtesy does exist. I have experienced courtesy and graciousness many times. I see drivers waiting to come out of roads onto S.C. 707 and another driver will let them. So nice to see over and over again people being courteous.

We are in this world together and being a better person makes it a better world. Thank you courteous drivers and it will be nice when S.C. 707 is done, but please continue to be courteous.
