When passing another motorist, please have the courtesy of driving FASTER than the motirist you just passed once you're ahead. And NEVER pass a fellow motorist when you're about to come to a complete stop so you can make a left turn. Thankyou.


I plan on sending this to my local paper - this post is no reflection on the LL boardies since I don't know how y'all drive.

Well, when I was driving, and believe me it's something you don't forget how to do. So, yes, I know how it feels. Sometimes, I have to practically "think" for the person that I'm passing, or allowing them to pass me. I tell ya, you almost have to "read" traffic like a book. I'm a bit anal when it comes to making turns either left or right. And believe me you almost have to have eyes in the back, on the sides, and up front at allll times.

Gentle hugs!

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

OOOH, I hate that too. No wonder there are so many incidents of road rage, people drive like idiots. I think the biggest offenders are the ones who weren't taught common courtesy by their parents. People are just rude.

This is the one conundrum of driving that has never, ever made sense to me.

Tonight driving home from my video job a comedian friend of mine was in the car with me.
She is heterosexual.
We got cut off twice, by a guy in a jeep towing a trailor. Once he even cut us off on the right side, after we passed him.
My friend grabbed the dashboard and yell, "I swear, men think their penis will fall off if they are passed by a woman!"
We were in a construction zone at the time, which is another pet peeve of mine!!
Indianapolis it seems has no place to store their orange and white barrels except on the road. They are always digging up something and never fixing it.
I decided that the quarter they made for each state, should be changed for Indiana, from a race car and basket ball to an orange and white striped barrel and a car passing on the right with it's left tires off the ground to show it is driving fast.
Oh, and let's not forget about the people who think there is a stop sign on the freeway entrance ramp...Just when you get up to speed, they think they need to stop and look.
And the ceramonial traffic jams, nothing is there but, the traffic jam. That one I can never figure out!
Ok Beth, you got me started now...
