On the Road Again.
Okay so here’s a nice easy one. Driving. Specifically, those people who get out on the road everyday, and thoroughly demonstrate that they have no business being out there what-so-ever. Now, I could probably go on at considerable length about a wide variety of annoyances and complaints on the subject, but for now let’s just hit what I consider the Big 2.
One: Driving in weather. Here’s a word of warning to all future drivers that have been living under a rock all their lives, Weather happens. Rain, wind, snow, storms of al kinds. No matter where you live, weather will come to you, whether you like it or not. (*groan*) When it does, do us all a favor and don’t get stupid about. Use some of that grey matter up in your noggin for something other than You Tube videos and fantasy sports. He moment water begins falling from the sky, say with all the intensity of a perfume spray bottle, do not go throwing your windshield wipers to their highest setting and slow down to 30 mph under the posted limit. It’s just water, it isn’t going hurt you, unless of course you like to kidnap young girls and little dogs too, or maybe raise flying monkeys as a hobby. Likewise, if the rain is coming down like it did for Noah, please don’t try and see just how fast you can plow through it. Same goes for snow, for those of you that get it. Just a little common sense is all you need.
Two: Distractions. This is a fairly easy one to grasp, in my book, and yet it’s one of out current leading contributors to automobile and vehicular accidents. And the general rule of thumb goes something like this: If you are currently driving a vehicle of any sort, you don’t do anything else. That’s it. Simple, right? I can understand quickly punching a button on the radio, or taking a drink, but all that other stuff? Applying make-up, reading, texting, cleaning the back seat, changing clothes? There is a perfectly reasonable time to do all or any of those activities, and it’s called anytime other than when you’re driving. Seriously. Because in case you haven’t noticed yet, you aren’t the only one on the roads out there. So put the phone/book/make-up down, clean the car before you leave, and change your outfit when you get there.
Just drive.
Please?
