Drivers who don’t use turn signals

Some of these drivers do use their turn signals, but only after they’re halfway or more through the turn. Besides being discourteous to the other drivers, it’s dangerous.

Drivers who run red lights

Yes, all of us have accidentally run a light or have pushed the limits and punched it when the light turns yellow. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about drivers who have seen the light turn red and it’s been red for a few seconds, but they still plow right on through. Again, it’s dangerous, possibly even deadly. What, are you in so much of a hurry that the rest of us just don’t matter?

Drivers who speed up to pass you, but then slow down

This one aggravates me the most, these idiots who run a stop sign, plow through a line of children crossing the road, run down a group of nuns, then only to jump in front of me and slow down to a crawl. If you’re in such a big hurry to get in front of me, why not get the heck out of my way? Move it!

Drivers who can’t make up their mind

If they even have a mind. We’ve all seen them, the slowpokes who stop and point and stare as if they’re looking for someplace. Just ask. Stop somewhere and ask for directions. Don’t block up traffic just because you’re not sure if the address is 123 Main Street Way or 124 Main Street Way. Know where you’re going before you get there, not while you’re getting there.

Cell phone drivers

Yes, I realize the importance of cell phones in the modern world. But far too many people use them for entertainment. Do we really need to be in constant contact with every single person we’ve ever known? Maybe I’m just an old fogey on this one, because I can still remember the world got along fine before cell phones arrived. But I don’t hate cell phones in general. They are handy and helpful. But I get quite irate when I see driver’s using their cell phones. Once more, it’s dangerous. I can understand using a cell phone while driving if there’s some kind of emergency, but most times it’s just some idiot chatting it up with their best friend. Get over it. Pull over and park if the conversation is that important. That way you’ll not only make the world a safer place for the rest of us, but you’ll also keep traffic flowing. And no, you don’t look cool talking on your cell. Transportable phones have been around long enough now that we all take it for granted.
