The things some people do
What makes people drive the way they do?
Today I've seen someone as they are driving down the road rading a book against the steering wheel of a car? I thought to myself, thats got to be a hell of a book. That, or are these people that bored with driving? Either way, I felt it was an accident waiting to happen. Being a concerned motorist, I honked my horn, and yelled for her to put the book down and drive. She just glanced at me, smirked and sped off.
Honestly, what the fuck are some people thinking?
So, this prompted me to ask some people I work with a few things about thier driving. Because naturally, I'm curious. Now I understand that not all of them would be reading a book, hell some of the people I work with I doubt can even read. So, I used something more close to thier heart, a cell phone. First I'll say that I myself have used a cell phone while driving. I'm proud to say that if/when I have used it, its been a short conversation lasting less than 5 minutes. I feel that the road and other cars around me deserve my attention first and foremost. I'm talking about those people who talk on thier cell phones in thier cars for great length. So, I talked to a few of the people at work that I notice are ALWAYS on thier cells. Despite my job having a no cell phone policy, they continue to do so. (which is another rant for another day) .
So, getting back on track. I asked these people, if it was made a crime punishable by significant jail time. Would you still talk on your cell phone in you car?
Now, I got angry answers "They can't do that shit, its my car, my cell phone!"
God forbid they think of anyone else around them and take into consideration what thier distracted driving might do to them. Nope, all about me me me.
When did these people's lives become so important that they need to be on a phone 24/7?
I'll keep this about people driving distracted though, cause me being pissed off at cell phone users is a really long rant for another time. All, I'm saying is, if someone out there is reading this who drives with a news paper, laptop, cell phone (constantly not just a quick thing), book, or starring in the mirror doing make up while driving. I hope when you do get in an accident (and you will) its only a single car accident. So that the only people you fuck up, or kill, will be yourself.
Couldn't find any good links today. I was too busy talking on my cell phone......
