Crazy Drivers

Sunday July 19th

Texan drivers are crazy! I'll say it again, Texan drivers are crazy! Golly!
I drive on the freeway almost daily, and I'll tell you every time I get off the service roads and onto the highway, I get into my "survival for the fittest mode". I have several peeves :

The Non-Indicators
Something must be done about the cars they supply the Lone Star state with. For some reason, some of these cars lack turn indicators. Therefore the owners of these vehicles are forced to weave in and out of traffic with no indication whatsoever to the motorists behind them. Don't hate them though, their cars are not installed with blinkers remember?

The Brakers
There are some drivers that have muscle spasms while driving. This causes them to slam on their brakes excessively while on the road. Woe unto any motorist behind this person with the spasm condition; it's contagious

The Flashers
Try driving in the dark; either early in the morning or after dusk. You will most likely encounter the flasher. He wants you to move out of the way so he can take your lane. He turns his lights full blast, and turns them back low in an effort to scare you, and show you how powerful he is in his big truck.

The Bright Lighters
Clearly the owners of large trucks suffer from some eye conditions that warrant them turning their lights on all the way up. They don't want to suffer from the condition alone, therefore they attempt to blind the drivers ahead of them by turning their lights on all the way up.

The Distracted ones
These are either talking on the phone or are distracted in some other manner. They are so distracted, they don't bother to use their indicators. I mean why do that right? The phone conversation is clearly more important than something as minor as driving a multi-ton contraption on a super highway. So what they are placing hundreds of lives at risk?

The Video Game Players
Then there are those who weave in and out of traffic like life is a video game. Swerving in and out of lanes is the order of the day. Much like what happens in video games. The only difference is that this is real life!

The Stubborn Ones
Ever encounter a driver going well below the speed limit on the fast lane? It's irking! What's worse is when these overly cautious drivers are shoulder to shoulder with the drivers on the other lanes, so there is no room to change lanes and overtake them.

Is there really anything that can be done about the madness on the roads? Probably not. All I can do is be cautious.
