10 Traits of Idiot Drivers
Why do these folks think they are the exception. That they do not have to go the speed limit, signal when turning, slow down when the weather is inclement. For you IDIOT DRIVERS that word means, weather that is bad such as slippery roads due to ice, snow, or rain.I used to believe that perhaps they gave two drivers tests. The test for the standard skills and then the one for IDIOT DRIVERS. Can you imagine a day at the driver's center. You approach the desk and the driver rep asks ,"Good morning, will you be taking the standard testing or the idiot testing"? And you know what, there would definitely be two lines forming. One would be straight and uniform and well you know what the other one is going to look like!
Driving is a huge responsibility and we need to treat it as such. One wrong move or decision and you could be in a crap load of trouble. Or possible injured or worse.
Maybe it depends on what vehicle you are driving. If it's a sports car, well we need to say the writing is on the wall for the type of behavior you may see there. What if its one of those big, old Buicks that your grandma had. She is going slow, well let's just say, take the speed limit and cut it in half. So therefore, the big Buick driver is perhaps going 27 on a road with no passing lane. Then we have the redneck huge ass pickup truck with the sticker, 'HOW'S MY DRIVIN, CALL 1-800-GET SCREWED"!There is usually a cloud of blue smoke around this driver and you'll be coughing if he is lucky enough to pass. How about the legendary trucker. You know the type, you are driving along and traffic is moving fine and when you look up at your rear view mirror, all you see is a grill of an 18-wheeler and a guy with every other tooth missing.I love the "new car" driver. It turns out for these drivers, is that they never get turn signals for these new cars. It must be so cause they never use them.
So let us list 10 traits of some IDIOT DRIVERS and see if you can identify with any of them:
1. Do you wait till the last possible moment to merge into the single lane in a construction zone?
2. Do you talk on your phone and ride the brake?
3. Do you drive around aimlessly in a new town instead of asking anyone for directions?
4. Do you cut in front of 18 wheeler truck drivers and hope they see you in time?
5.Do you put your makeup on while sitting at a red light, and then not pay attention to the light?
6.Do you ride the bumper of the car in front of you in hopes you will get to where you are going faster?
7. Are you having a three course meal in your car while driving?
8.Are you sucking face with your girlfriend at every red light?
9.Are you one to use colored duct tape on that crunched fender so it matches?
10.Do you neglect to give the courtesy wave to those folks who chose to let you cut in line?
So, can you identify with any of these?

Post a CommentDriving is not anyones' God given right. You have to earn the privilege. The rules of the road are there on purpose - to keep everyone safe and be as fair as possible. I don't find the task that difficult. Your job is to take care of your business. It's not up to anyone else to drive your car. If you want to play chicken with a tree be my guest, but you're never alone on the roads. Don't involve others in your insanity. The faster your going the more space you need to keep (you and others) safe. When the sign says your lane is going away find room to get over (it's your job). Your turn signal is not a magic wand. When there's room, go. When there's no room, wait. Red means stop. Sporting events, concerts, big things are going to have lines, fall in at the back. You don't cut in line at the bank or at the movies.
The second half of this is - I don't know how all these Evil Knevil wanna bes sleep at night. What is it about being cocooned within steel and wheels that makes you lose sit
I like my 18 wheeler and I especially love the look on the other guys face when I come up behind him with my engine roarin' before I get within a foot of his bumper doin 70! Nothin' like it!
You are so right!
One of my worse gripes is 18 wheelers drivers who tailgate. Especially at night, going down mountain hills. Where a deer can suddenly run out in front of the car. Besides having their headlights blinding me, they should know how much longer it will take them to stop in an emergency, and leave some space between their vehicles and the one's ahead of them. It seems that with all Long Beach's redevelopment, there are more "idiot" drivers moving into the city. Or maybe my street is just for the accident prone.
The AC machine wouldn't let me give you an extra star, in case you wonder why you're stuck on "3."
LMOA, D-fly, LMOA. You've got the funny touch. Actually Number 8 doesn't sound so bad. Joking aside, there are 30,000 traffic fatalies per year in our great nation. And I do not mean to be insensitive in this comparison, but that is 10 times the number who died in 9/11. Once every five weeks, if you add the numbers, we have ANOTHER 9/11 on our roads .........Into the top 10 I can add, people who accelerate into stop lights. When I see a yellow 3 or 4 blocks ahead, I start coasting in order to save gas. Then people PASS me all lathered up, and 15 second later they're sitting at that same damn light while I come rolling along when it turns back green and actually pass them back (for a moment) because I don't have to do a full stop. People gripe about gas prices and then drive like lead foots. Makes no sense. Also, Cynthia Martin's site has an artile that I believe is entitled "49 ways to save on gas prices." ....... Thank you D-fly. -- Mike
