Ravings of a Textual Deviant

Today I got an unpleasant reminder of why I prefer not to drive to work between 7:30 and 8:30 AM. If people would just follow a few simple rules, such as…

1. When it’s heavily overcast and pouring rain, turn on your effing headlights…especially if you drive a black or gray car and like to speed.

2. Do not park your massive Mack truck in a traffic lane immediately after an intersection.

3. When the sign says “Lane Ends,” it means it. Plan ahead.

4. If you missed the left turn lane, do not back up half a block into oncoming traffic to correct your navigational mistake.

5. Do not turn left from the right hand lane. And vice versa.

6. Put the cell phone down.

7. Turn signals are not for keeping time to the music.

8. If multiple people are honking at you, you are probably doing something wrong.

My kingdom for a good mass transit system!

Update: #9 - Anyone who drives 25 mph in a 45 mph zone and 45 mph in a 25 mph zone gets what they deserve.
