Who’s driving…
Pardon My Rant, but…
who is driving the cars out there today?
I know it isn’t the people sitting behind their steering wheels. Screw Gun Control, let’s exercise Driver
Control! Everybody is so concerned about the dangers of my guns or the multitudes of drunk drivers, but nobody seems to be talking about the risks posed by the masses of stupid people with (and
sometimes without) driver’s licenses.
Just today, I counted twenty-eight ‘drivers’ actively
engaged in tasks that were NOT driving.
In a thirty+ minute drive, that is just under one driver per minute that
I personally witnessed aiming two ton bullets at anything near them. Frankly, I’m disgusted by the drivers I see
on the roads during those trips. I’m fed
up with texters. I’m tired of left-lane
sitters. I’m enraged by merge lane
cutters. The rules of the roads are
simple. Pay attention, be courteous, and
follow them. If you can’t, then stay off
the roads.
My recommendation is that any driver caught texting/applying
makeup/doing touchdown celebrations/cutting into merge lanes/sending
emails/driving in the left lane two miles under the speed limit/reading
newspapers/tossing cigarette butts/watching movies/eating five-course meals/or
any other general act of idiocy should be required to stand out on the middle
stripe of a busy two-lane road to take their chances with their fellow
distracted and dumb drivers.
So… if you have to
talk, then buy a Bluetooth device and CALL.
If you are bored, buy a sports car.
If you missed your daily comics, read them at work.
And… if you wear a
lot of makeup, DON’T.
Let’s hear your rant on Distracted Drivers.
