Irritable (driving)
Filed under: Hmmm
Its somewhat funny, I was just talking to a friend of mine yesterday about drivers and it comes up again. It is such a large part of a lot of our lives that it just makes sense to complain about it. I have a couple of things to complain about here, so yes, this is a rant. A light rant, though. So, don’t worry, it will be over soon.
Driving across the bridge the other day I just about rear ended some idiot in front of me, and almost gave myself whiplash again. There was an accident on the other side of the bridge and, for unexplainable reasons, idiots must slow down when passing an accident that is across a divider and several feet of water. Yeah, didn’t make sense to me either. The guy dropped by about 10 mph. I was really annoyed. I didn’t have to slam on my breaks, but it is good that I actually pay attention to what is around me when I drive instead of staring at accidents across the way that have nothing to do with me. Honestly, anymore if I see an accident on the other side of the road I start to prepare myself because I know, with certainty, that somebody is going to slow down drastically, swerve or do something else that indicates a lack of driving intelligence. What was really sad about the whole thing was that he wasn’t the only one that slowed down a lot, most people around him did too, including drivers in the other lanes.
I think you really have to be careful, especially with what they are saying about many people choosing to drive without insurance now. I don’t think I would do that, just not worth the trouble. Some of these drivers should be taking out double or triple the regular insurance, just based on how they drive. Ok. I am done with my rant. Thanks for listening.
