And we give these people a license to drive?!?!

First, this post is being composed on my iPad, so while I'll spell check like normal, please have mercy on me :)

OK: for those of you who know me, you know I'm walking on thin ice trying to say something about someone else's driving habits. For the sake of full disclosure, a few statistics about me: I've been pulled over 8 times in the 9 years since I turned 16. 6 of 8 were for speeding. I just turned 25 and in my age, and you know all that blah blah blah about growing up and slowing down and driving like a sane person. Boring, and enough about me. 

Now that I drive slower I have time to watch other drivers more closely, and I have found that people can't drive. 

You wouldn't believe the people who can't work a 4 way stop. I'm not trying to be hateful, but if you get to a 4 way stop and you're the only one. You GO. It's really not necessary to sit and wait for someone else to show up. 

Stop lights with no turn arrows. They're either green or red. If you're turning left, you have to wait. If you're going straight or right, you have right of way, GO. Do not wave left turners on. Get the heck out of the way before the light turns red. 

Parallel parking. Tee hee. I won't lie to you. I can parallel park like a boss. I was upset when I didn't have to do that in my drivers test. That should really be required in a drivers test. Because people cannot parallel park. I've seen people try...with no other cars around!

And my favorite pet peeve: do not cut in front of something bigger than you. Mind the food chain. If you're a Honda, an 18 wheeler will kill you. And remember the Physics: they have more to stop. Calm down. 

We'll I think that'll do it for my soapbox of the day. 

Until next time, 
:)
