Driving

[azziria]

Dear Other Driver,

A few pointers:

1. In dry conditions on an open road with good visibility and a 60 mph speed limit, it is actually not unreasonable to go slightly faster than 30 mph.

2. The yellow flashing lights on the front and back of your vehicle are called indicators, and are there for you to inform other road users of your intentions. Those other road users would appreciate you actually using them occasionally.

3. The vehicle with the blue flashing lights sitting on your tail? Is something you should get out of the way of, fast. And if you're so oblivious to your surroundings that you haven't noticed it, then you probably shouldn't be in charge of a motor vehicle doing 70 on a crowded dual carriageway.

Yours (irritated),
Azz.

Oh hi, have you been driving near me today? Because all those people you mentioned where in front of me today too...

But I don't understand how that person got their car all the way from Maui to you so quickly...

I've always liked the instructions, "please, use your turn signal. If I was psychic, I wouldn't have bean driving any where near you."

Re: #2, once I actually counted how many drivers used the indicators while I was driving to the underground station. It was something like 3 out of 10. I wanted to strangle someone...

I'll be back to using the car in March, my only worry and concern after an 18mth break from driving is, yup, other people on the roads :-/
Ohh how your post brought those memories flooding back!!
