This is another installment of Wednesday’s Words of Wisdom. This week is all about driving. Now I could write a book and a half documenting all the things people do that give me road rage, but I won’t do that to you. I’ll just pick one or two things and focus on them for now.
Whenever you are making a left turn, please for the love of god, do it from the LEFT SIDE of the lane! That way, people behind you have the opportunity to go around. There is no reason they should have to wait while you make the turn. There is also no reason that you have to make that turn from the center, or even worse, the right side of the lane. Just shimmy on over to the yellow line and make your turn. This has to be one of the easiest things you can do while driving a car. I can’t even count the times I was behind someone that made a left hand turn from the center or right side of the lane. Leaving me NO room to go around them. Now, I have to wait for the traffic on the other side to break before I can continue my trip. Why? I wasn't turning. It makes me want to follow them to wherever they're going and beat them into a coma with a tennis racket. I mean I have one in my trunk and haven't played tennis in years.
I know what some of you are thinking. “Is this really a big deal?” Maybe not, but if everyone would do it, the driving world would be a much happier place.
You've been there right? You're following someone down a winding road or even a straight highway and you see their blinker go on. "Thank god this moron is turning, I can't stand driving this slow." Not so fast! Said moron decides not to move over at all. Now there you are, cursing your face off, waiting for slow-poke to finally make the turn so you can scream at him/her (most likely her) out the window. If you're like me anyway. And I don't care what you say, most of the driving errors that are committed out there are either by females or Asians. Or female Asians, AHHHHHHH Look Out! Let's face it, they just can't drive.
So please read this and if you get offended or this situation hasn't come while you were driving, IT'S YOU! MOVE OVER! It will lengthen the lifespan of all those around you, and it's very simple.
