Driving rant

[Karen]

Every time I have noticed odd, careless behavior from a driver lately - and I am talking months here, that person has been talking on a cell phone.

It is sad, and scary. People don't even pay attention to where they WALK when on a cell phone, why do they think they should do so while behind the wheel of a ton of steel?

1. Granny on board. (or, to not sexually discriminate, grandpa on board)

2. If you can read this, you're tailgating me because you're pissed off at my lousy driving.

3. How's My Driving? Dial 1-800- I Already know it sucks a$$.

4. Pedestrians make great speed bumps.

5. Caution: I may or may not be blonde, but I drive like one.

6. I'm Sorry. (ya, we wish they'd apologise for their terrible driving)

7. I'm not cutting you off, I'm just getting your attention.

8. Road Rage, Fear, Aggravation - My work here is done.

9. Lost your kid? Try looking under my tires.

10. Don't Honk: Driver yappin' on cell phone.

11. No I'm not a tourist, I'm just a really bad driver.

12. I stopped to think... and never got started again.

13. Warning: driver armed with lipstick and may use it.

14. Seeing over the steering wheel is for suckers.

15. Honk all you want, I'm deaf. Highbeam all you want, I'm blind, too.

16. Pardon my driving, I'm commutally challenged.

17. Why are you the only person on earth who knows how to drive?

18. I brake for no apparent reason.

19. I'm the reason the middle finger was created.

I just returned from a mini vacation. I drove to Lancaster County PA and returned several days later. On my way to PA I took major highways for the most part and tried to stick to 55 mph! Well, everyone passed me, regardless the speed limit. No one, I mean no one did the limit. I stayed in the right lane and did speed up when necessary. Not one car travelled at 55 except me, when the limit was 65. What is with these folks. It is common knowledge that the most efficient speed is 55, saving gobs of gas not to mention the gentleness on our environment. On my way home I travelled 65 when appropriate for the limit, not the 55 as when I travelled to PA and everyone still passed me. What gives? I suspect our government will step in some time soon and drop the maximum speed limit like they did years ago. I think it makes sense, all things considered. Fewer accidents, less fuel usage. I think the trucks were worse than any car or driver. Everyone needs to slow down. Ugh.
