Ten Things You Will See While Driving

How's Your Driving Record?

Let's be courteous to each other when we are traveling in our vehicles. Let's drive cautiously so we can arrive to our destinations safely. Drive Carefully.

1. You Will See: Courteous Drivers

There are still courteous drivers left on the road. I'm one. Drivers like me drive safely, will offer a ride to someone, will allow vehicles to get in front of mine--if asked, will wait patiently while a vehicle is backing out or loading, and the list goes on.

2. You Will See: Drivers Holding Up Traffic

It is so rude when a driver holds up traffic intentionally. Drivers traveling to their destinations have to wait for the driver of the vehicle in front to continue driving. This could cause road rage.

3. You Will See: Drivers Ignoring Red Lights And Stop Signs

Drivers ignore red lights and stop signs all the time, and get away with it. Why isn't law enforcement around when this happens?

4. You Will See: Fast Drivers

There will always be fast drivers on the road. Speeding is very dangerous. It's even more dangerous on a street where the speed limit is 35 miles an hour or less. These speed limits are usually in neighborhoods where children are playing.

5. You Will See: Items Falling

Items falling off a vehicle could be very dangerous. A vehicle behind could be damaged or a driver could be injured. It's just common sense to make sure every item on top or in the back of a vehicle is secure enough not to fall off or separate from the vehicle, before driving off. There is no excuse for this.

6. You Will See: Road Rage

People are actually losing their lives to impatient and aggressive drivers. There's so much road rage in the world today it's unreal. A person can be thankful to drive away from one of these situations with just having to hear some very nasty words.

7. You Will See: Rude And Aggressive Drivers

Rude and aggressive drivers are not courteous on the road to others. These drivers will pull in front of other vehicles--cutting them off, they are not courteous to pedestrians, they use bad language, they speed, they cause road rage, and the list goes on.

8. You Will See: Slow Drivers

There will always be slow drivers on the road. Drivers behind one of these vehicles should just be patient. The driver in front might not be sure where they're going or the driver could be an elderly person. Be patient and wait for the first chance to pass the vehicle.

9. You Will See: Vehicles Crossing Median Strips

The median strip is in the center of the road or highway for a reason, not for vehicles to drive across. This happens on city roads and highways. Again, where is law enforcement when this happens.

10. You Will See: Vehicles With No Taillights

Driving with no taillights is very dangerous making it hard for vehicles behind to know when the vehicle will stop. Vehicles with no taillights should not be on the road at all. Driving behind one of these vehicles will definitely cause a driver to feel uneasy. This one really irritates me. Again, be patient and wait for the first chance to pass this vehicle.

    My husband has HORRIBLE road rage. I actually made him pawn his gun because I didn't think it was safe for other drivers for him to have one in his vehicle. The WORST part is, he will barrage other drivers with rude gestures and shouting, even if he's in the wrong--like it's their fault when he makes a mistake! It's embarrassing!

    This is a great idea for an article. I'm a courteous driver and do all I can to show consideration for others on the road. I can't stand to see any type of road rage. It's so unnecessary.

    Yep - you are right. I've seen them all. I really can't believe people read maps while they are driving. Great article.
