ahh, finally the truth.
So true. When I drive to work on bad days I frustrate many on the one lane road... behind me they are as I make my way with reasonable speed. Often slow and reasonable.
There's something about staying alive that I am attached to - you know?
Sooooo true! There is nothing quite so distressing than driving along and suddenly realizing with that sinking feeling that you are on a layer of ice, and any movement will mean disaster!
Christmas Eve ... My husband and I were driving home from friends ... Flash-freeze; ice EVERYWEHRE. Truly frightening drive! It had poured rain all day (after having about 30 cm of snow on the ground, dammit!) ... flash freeze hit hard during the evening ... fender-benders all over ... It was like every road was black ice ...
And the idiots on the road. Don't get me started!!!!!! How I'd love to bag every single moron who's yakking on a cell phone, or applying makeup, or reading, or whatever ...
What forms of idiocy have you all seen in other drivers?
oh man, in my little town of west,texas which is full of 70 year old czech's...there is a story a day...
once a little old lady who was so short all you could see was the top of her head and the knuckles of her hands..ran a stop sign and forced me to slam on my breaks..when she passed me she gave me the finger...i laughed so hard.
My sister, who was working at a catering shop at the time, once watched our grandmother drive away from a parking spot right in front of the store. Nana was driving a '78 Caddy. Biiig car. Well, Nana backed up ... into a car -- BANG! -- then drove forward -- SMASH! -- then back again -- WHAM! -- then away. Shortly thereafter, my dear Nana lost her license. Oooh, was she pissed!
