MORE on Bad Drivers...

I almost got into a car accident yesterday...because of an idiot driver.

So I'm driving back to work from lunch (I go home almost every day...it's just cheaper that way), I'm in the left lane and this idiot is in the right lane slightly ahead of me, but sitting behind a big-rig. The fool tries to get around the truck but he's taking up my lane with me in it. I swerve into oncoming traffic and honk my horn, he corrects himself. I catch up to him and give him the death stare. You know the one! The what-the-hell-were-you-thinking-you-stupid-idiot stare.

The fool stays on his cellphone (yes, he kept it in his ear the whole time) and waves "sorry" to me. I swear if he hit me I would have opened up a can on him.

In Japan, when you're a novice driver, they attach a yellow and green arrow to your car by magnet or suction cup. I think they should do that here in the US with idiot drivers...a yellow warning "!" letting everyone know that an idiot is driving, stay away. The more idiotic things you do on the road, the bigger the "!". I know some people who's "!" would be bigger than the car they drive.

I hate to be racial about this, but it seems like certain Asian nationalities seem to be the worst. Go to any Asian market or mini-mall and you'll understand what I mean...driving the wrong way in a parallel lot, driving in the middle so oncoming traffic can't get by, making up their own spaces. God forbid they get on the freeway and surface streets. Aw hell...driving too slow, blinker on for 15 minutes straight, braking 200 yards away from the stop, braking too damned much for no apparent reason but their own, turning left from the lane next to the turning lane...etc. I wonder if they get their license out of pity or out of spite. I mean, they're all probably the best people in the world...they just can't drive to save themselves.

Yes, technically I am shitting on my own people, but damn it if they need to be shitted on from time to time! I make no excuse for this. My reign of terror is unilateral! Yes, I realize that people need to drive, especially in California where things are so far apart from each other, but dayam...a license is earned so it should be taken away just as easily.

Beauty does fade and stupid definitely is forever and in many cases when it comes to driving you just have to know when to say when.

Ain't it funny?
