Just a heads-up for those of you venturing west -- police say a power outage has knocked out traffic lights along North University Drive in Tamarac.

Busted traffic lights should be treated as a four-way stop, though don't count on everybody to do it -- between texting, grubbin' on McDonald's fries, and just all-around awful driving, it might be safer to just wait for power to come back on.

Oh, and there's a driving school around the corner that advertises, "We specialize in teaching very NERVOUS teen, elderly and all students."

Vaya con dios.
