"SCREW UPS"

Yesterday I was driving down an unfamiliar street in Oceanside heading towards the freeway. Just as I'm approaching the on ramp, I realize I'm not far enough to the left. Do I; (A) Cut over at the last moment, cutting off everyone who's in the correct lane waiting their turn? (B) Stop, turn on my blinker, block forward moving traffic, hoping someone will let me cut in front of them? (C) Continue on until I'm able to make a u turn? Wait for it...Sound of buzzer. The correct answer is, (C)! My screw up, mine to fix. Read and learn fellow drivers. I screwed up and I fixed it without bothering any other driver on the street! Imagine that. Simple solution that took a couple of extra minutes. No big deal. Then, the other situation of the day. I'm on the freeway. Traveling/passing in the number 1 lane. Traffic is moderate but, moving fairly quickly. Suddenly this stupid bitch apparently decides she needs to jump from number 2 lane over to the number 1. Problem is, she doesn't signal nor, look. Three guesses as to who was using the spot right then? That's right! Moi! Just as our cars are even I see her coming into my lane, millimeters from hitting me! Yikes! I lay on my horn and thank The Lord she was able to pull back into her own lane! Scared the heck out of me and life flashed quickly in front of my eyes! I think I had an angel sitting as my copilot. Moral of the story? When we miss our turns, etc..., let's fix our mistake in a way that doesn't inconvenience other drivers. Before we change lanes, let's ideally look and then signal. At the very least, LOOK TO MAKE SURE THE LANE IS CLEAR! The life and property we save may very well be our own! To the dumb ass who came so very close to hitting me? I hope you learned an important lesson that you never forget! If you didn't, do the rest of us a favor, cut up your license and use public transportation. You're dangerous and have no business driving a car!

"ON THE ROAD AGAIN"

Well I wasn't driving for about 6 months. Sad to say, not much has changed! just the other day, I'm in the number 3 lane, cruise control set to 70 and it happens. Some moron decides to cut over in front of me! Do they keep up the flow? No! Since they're traveling at a slower speed, I of course, must take off the cruise control and adjust my speed. The worst part, there was no one in front of them! How I wished at that moment I was driving a junk car. Can you imagine the look of shock on their face if I just slammed them like a bumper car? Bet they'd never pull that cut off $hit again! Hah! I think driving in a Demolition Derby would be the perfect hobby for me! Also WTH is up with drivers entering the freeway at city street speed? Come on people! It's common sense, get up to freeway speed before you merge in! For goodness sake, you aren't just putting yourself in jeopardy but, every driver around you. I tell you right now, if you caused me to wreck because of your stupidity, I'd probably be tempted to knock you into next year! If you're afraid of the freeway then please do the rest of us a favor, keep your ass on the city streets! We'll be okay really. **Sigh** I guess it goes to show, it's true, "Same old $hit, different day!" One thing that's undisputable, a vehicle and the ability to drive equals freedom! Public transportation might get you from point a to point b however, there's nothing like driving yourself! So even with all the morons out there, it's GREAT to be mobile again!
