Driving rant

[RedHedd]

Ah turn signals! I do have to ask - do Mercedes Benz even come equipped with turn signals at all or is that in the deluxe model and an extra they forget to ask for? Oh, wait, I forget - they have SPECIAL driving rules for Benz drivers

Shall we start a pedestrian thread too or can I post that rant here?

Since I've lived in CA, I've seen so many bad drivers. So many of them try to change lanes without evening looking to see if they have enough room. I've almost been hit several times because of this.

You really can't drive the speed limit here if you wanted to without having the car behind you right on your bumper. Now I usually drive at least 5 miles an hour above the speed limit on most streets and cars still speed on by me.

Oh goodness, I LOVE this one!

when did it become too difficult to use a turn signal??

For YEARS, Dad has said about such a person: "Guess they didn't make turn signals on that model." Now it's ME saying the same thing.

Totally agree with everything that has been said....we were out running errands today, and people were absolutely crazy...My husband was driving, and I was sitting in the front passenger seat, and there were several times, I closed my eyes because I knew some idiot was about to hit us.....Here in the Dallas area, even with the $4.00 gas, a lot of people aren't going to give up their stupid pick up trucks....which is fine, but don't go weaving in and out, tailgating, etc just to end up side by side at the light anyway.....drives me nuts!!! It is a wonder my two kids didn't learn a lot of new words today!
