Do You Qualify?

Okay.... I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but seeing as in the past 24 hours, I have nearly been broadsided at 45 by a rice-rocket, sandwiched between two tractor-trailers, and run off the road...... I am listing my pet peeves while driving, I am sure more will be added as time goes on.

To those who can operate their stereo perfectly, but don't know what that funny-looking lever to the left of the steering wheel is for......

To those who don't enter a turn lane until they are forced to make a 90-degree turn, forcing everyone else to slam on the brakes........

To those who are too stupid to understand that daytime running lights are just that.... DAYTIME running lights, not full headlights and running lights......

To those who think it's their given duty to ride the passing lane matching speed perfectly with slower traffic........

To those who don't know what that pretty blue light on the dash that looks like a headlight means.........

To those who stop at green lights and blow through red ones.......

To those who stop ten feet before the line at every traffic light.........

To those who routinely cut off vehicles ten times the size of your own.......

To those who think as long as they keep the car between the solid white lines, it's okay to wander......

To those who back up against oncoming traffic when they miss a turn.........

To those who insist on hanging out in moving traffic beside vehicles whose tires are taller than your vehicle.........

To those who get more mileage out of a gallon of a gas than a set of brakes......

To those who stop ten feet before the next vehicle at every traffic light......

To those who routinely park with at least a fourth of the car out in traffic........

To those who sling an SUV around as if it were an F1 car..........

To those who stop traffic to let another vehicle in with a green light!!!! The driver behind you might know what you're doing, but the other ten behind them don't....

To those who drive 70 in the snow because you have 4-wheel-drive........

To those who can't park within 2 feet of the curb.......

To those who challenge other vehicles because yours is bigger and heavier........

To those who traded a Honda Civic in on a Chevy Suburban and can't get used to it........

To those who block an intersection when you know you're not getting through it before the light changes.......

To those who routinely sustain heavier damage than door dings........

To those who challenge other vehicles for the right-of-way because you have insurance.......

To those who pull forward to cut another driver off when you can't go anywhere anyway......

To those who can't park evenly with the curb............

To those who stop and block traffic with a green light when they realize they're in the wrong lane.........

To those whose license plates strike fear in the hearts of pedestrians everywhere......

To whose who challenge emergency vehicles for the right-of-way......

To those who think it's okay to stop in traffic and turn on your hazards to talk to someone. Do you know what a parking space is for?

To those who can't park in one space.......

To those who change direction with the wind because you don't know where the hell you're going......

To those who assume you are the only one on the road or in the parking lot and move without looking....

To those who refuse to make a right turn on red --- with no sign restricting it and no traffic.........

To those who think a yield or stop sign is a suggestion..........

To those who go three blocks up a one-way street the wrong way because they're too lazy to go down one block and turn.........



Turn in your driver's license. You probably don't belong behind the wheel of a lawn mower, and I wouldn't trust you on a Segway without a helmet, you're too stupid.
