Get Off The Road, Dumbass!
As I was filling up gas in my car today at one of the local Chevron gas stations, I noticed that something was different. It wasn’t a new shop, a change in gas prices, or a new cashier inside the gas station. It was the amount of stupid drivers on the road. In the 3 minute period it took to fill up my gas, I witnessed almost 4 different accidents. That’s right - 4. More than one a minute, within 200 feet of where I was standing.
People these days need to get off the road and go back to driving school. Why? No one knows how to drive anymore! I remember when I was a kid riding with my parents, I would hardly hear someone honking as a sign of aggravation. Usually it was just a “Hey, I’m trying to catch your attention for something” type of honk. Simply trying to tell them you can get in front of me to avoid that slow lane of traffic.
Today, in this relatively small suburb of Dallas called Plano, I hear at least 5-6 aggravated drivers honking.
I don’t have a problem with honking, its mainly a problem with dumb drivers on the road. Someone cuts off another guy and slams their brakes, and the person that was cut off has no option left except to swerve and hit the car beside it, or go the other way and wrap themselves around a telephone pole.
Next thing you know, people will be intentionally hitting people’s cars to get them off the road. The daily commute will become a destruction derby and a race to the death.
Personally speaking, there should be more cops on the road. Not to catch speeders (since I’m guilty of that every day :)), but to catch stupid drivers that drive 25mph on the highway and change lanes to get in front of the car thats coming up the fastest. Or the idiots who pull out in front of you from picking up that Big Mac, super-sized fries and small diet coke from the nearby McDonald’s and are paying more attention to the food than the road.
These dumb drivers need a wake up call, and quick, before a lot of innocent people get hurt by their stupid tactics.
