Can Anyone Tell Me

Why it is.....if you follow traffic using the "three-second rule" or just plain ol' common sense these days; and you leave space between you and the car in front of you; some schmuck will turn left in front of you; cut you off or hit you THEN scream 'didn't you see me pulling over?'?

CIP.....yesterday on the way home on "235 Raceway"; which it wasn't at that time; I was headed north catching EVERY red light; and somewhere around Red Robin, a Honda Odyssey or some similar type SUV just turns left; didn't even turn his d*mn head!! If I had not "locked 'em up" I would have hit the left rear quarter.

Folks.....today's vehicles are equipped with MIRRORS and turn signals. Use the mirrors FIRST; THEN use the turn signal; THEN the mirror again; THEN change lanes. It's a simple three-step process.

I may just have to go *bump* Mel's rearview mirror thread.

I was driving south on 235 at about 6pm, had a car cut across three lanes of traffic, had several people including me, slam on brakes, just to make a u turn in front of Immaculate Heart. If I hadnt been allowing space, I'd be dealing with an accident report today.

I used to enjoy driving. NOW; and especially since I was involved in a June 1st accident; I'm deathly afraid of being run over again while fully stopped.

He wanted to test your driving skills.

People don't look before crossing the street, either.

Yeah and they park in the fire lane.

And drive slow in the hammer lane.

And stop at Yeild Signs, which obviously Yield just means you have to accelerate faster than usual to find a spot to pull out in oncoming traffic.

Some yeild lanes are too short such as the one coming onto 235 S from Wildwood blvd. I still keep driving down the shoulder lane anyway to get in, there is room, most don't.
