New peeve thread???

[RedHedd]

People who drive on the freeway (or anywhere for that matter) in the insane rain we've been having with their wipers on, but not their headlights. Hello? It's the LAW here in California - wipers on = headlights on. Otherwise, we can't see you. It was SCARY driving to work this morning in a DELUGE. At least people weren't driving insanely or too fast - you just couldn't! There was way too much water coming down and on the roads and NO CHP in sight, anywhere.

Cyclists who refuse to obey the rules of the road.

- a stop sign means stop.
- cycle along with the flow of traffic and to your extreme right....not in smack dab in the middle of the lane.
- wear your helmet.
- use hand signals.
- more importantly, wear clothes. LOL
This really happened one stinking hot summer evening. I was driving home and the traffic was crawling. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Then I came upon it....a topless female cyclist. All the lookie-loos were slowing down to get a better look.

As if traffic wasn't bad enough to start with.

My peeve for the day is people who blow lights. An accident happend right behind me today just as I was leaving home. Some idiot thought he could make it through the yellow light a full minute after it turned red. The poor person coming the other way didn't have a chance and slammed right into him. I saw the poor innocent person in the back of the cop car so I believe she was ok - thanks to her air bag - but the idiot who blew the light was still in his car. I think he was trapped because the door - and front and side of the vehicle - was quite smashed. She was proabably going 50, he was probably going 30. Instead of being a minute late for work, he's lucky if he makes it in by next week! This happens sooo often around here. I think people expect the rest of the world to watch out for them, but what they don't realize is that sometimes the rest of the world has their own problems to worry about and they may not notice that you're priveliged and allowed to go through red lights a full minute after they turn.
