Driving 101

Is driving really that difficult? It appears to be for many. I seem to attract idiots, too.

Are people clueless? Is it because they don't care?

I can pretty much tell what someone is doing by the way they're driving.

Driving under the speed limit=Talking on the phone

Randomly slamming on their brakes=Their phone is ringing

Continuously swerving over the line =Texting

Then, there are the people who drive like idiots for no apparent reason.

Why would you-

Ride in the left lane going under the speed limit?

Ride even with another vehicle and not allow a huge line of cars through?

Stare at your passenger more than the road and what is going on around you?

Be on the free-way going 20mph under the speed limit? I mean, why would you even want to be on the free-way then?

Come to a complete stop before you turn?

Let your kids bounce around the vehicle with no seatbelt on?

Not use your signal light?

Ride someone's butt and then decide to move over just as another vehicle is approaching? Then, at least go past the slow car....don't ride even with it.....

Sit at a stop sign inching and debating whether you should go and making the decision to go just as the car is approaching?

Turn in front of a vehicle and go slowly when there is no one behind that vehicle? At least GO if you're going to go.....

Turn onto a three lane road and go into the lane where the one and only car is....and go slowly?

I mean....it's not rocket science....is it?

Sometimes, I wish I was a police officer just to pull idiots over for doing stupid things. Since I attract them, the county would make a fortune off of these people.

On Christmas Eve we were driving back from my father-in-laws "farm." It's a lot of country road driving. It was snowing/icing badly. So, I was going slow and when a would see a car coming I would pull over so they could pass. I could not believe how many cars were flying by. One of the times I pulled over I had a hard time starting again. Black ice. The next vehicle to come up was a police car with it's lights/sirens on. As we drove further up the road we had to be rerouted because some of the vehicles that had flown past us were involved in a pile up. As we were being rerouted I couldn't believe how many people STILL chose to fly down the road even after they saw the accident.....Hello people?!

I'm SURE I'm missing some things.......what annoys you?
