#10 for NaBloPoMo

So, I've decided that half the people issued driver's licenses need to have them revoked. They need to be revoked because they are either blind or incapable of turning their head side to side. Seriously, on the way home I saw two accidents caused by bad lane merging, was nearly hit twice - by two different people this time - because they didn't turn their head to see if someone was next to them before changing lanes, saw a motorcycle almost get creamed by a van because the motorcycle didn't understand that left turn yields to those going straight or didn't see the van and... yeah. I think that's it. Wait, no. Then there was the random slamming of breaks on the interstate where I slowed 20 mph in about about 10 seconds. *headdesk*

It's scary driving. It really, really is.

That's... frightening.

Maybe those people had theirs issued by Donald Duck?

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

Possibly. Though, one of the people who almost hit me looked all offended when I slammed on my horn.

[andersenmom.livejournal.com]

I'd rather the horn than the insurance bill...

But that's just me, you know.

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly. *shakes head* Idiot.

yeah. it is really scary the people that have their license. There was one guy the other day that didn't want anyone to pass him so he drove in the middle of both lanes.

.... Thank God I was taught to be a defensive driver.

[angel-katchan.livejournal.com]

This is why I take the bus. Even that though isn't always safe when the drivers end up almost tipping the bus over.

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

Has that happened while you were on the bus?

[angel-katchan.livejournal.com]

When I was at St. Lawernce. The driver thought he could make the turn. He didn't consider the median curb and went up it and while turning has the bus up on the two right side wheels. It was interesting.

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

Oh God... that had to be terrifying.

[angel-katchan.livejournal.com]

It was one of those "Did that really happen" moments. Just like when the bus here scraped a car and the guy driving the car caused an accident and after that came and punched the mirror of the bus.

Wow, makes hermit life seem really good.

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I'll take being green over that stuff.

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door." (or in this case, driving on the road.)

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

*giggles* That's for sure.

[aurumsisters.livejournal.com]

Thought that quote fit here. :-)

[g-myzo.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's all on the same day? *shakes head* it's crazy..

[dizzy-grace.livejournal.com]

That's all within 30 minutes.

o_o if that happened to me, it would've made me paranoid for a few days..
