things that make me rage --- part 2

In the last installment, I mentioned things that make me irritated while driving. Drivers on cell phones took most of my attention at that time, but there are other distractions that irritate me. I see them all day and every day. People will be reading while driving - this usually happens during "rush hour", since most cars are not travelling fast the drivers obviously think it is ok to read. I have seen newspapers, books on the steering wheel, magazines, papers or reports, lots of various other types of reading materials- even porno mags!  One handed driving is not acceptable guys!!!  That totally makes me nutz!!!!  Other distractions I have seen are applying makeup while driving- folks, cant you just spend a few extra minutes in front of the mirror at home?? Please? My favorite distraction occurs in family cars, when the driver is reaching into the backseat to grab, pop, or do something with the kids- that is just an accident waiting to happen. People do so many strange things while driving, and most of these things could be done safely on the side of the road or in a parking lot.  Let's spend more time driving safely and less time trying to do all these other things while speeding down the road. Y'all have  a safe weekend and drive like your life depends on it.

  1. Driving like your life depends on it ('cause it does and not just yours!)...what a concept! I'm enjoying the musings. Thanks, dear.
