drives me crazy

it's good to be home. i consider new england home even though i dont live there for any substantial part of the year, nor have i since 2001. but it's home. it's sunny and nice, and i went golfing today. i'm meeting with a prospective employer on monday, and i'm golfing again with my parents on saturday.

one thing that's universal, however, is bad drivers. sometimes i think we should take cars away from people. only allow public transportation. trains, and buses. and only the best drivers can drive the buses. the tests will be more rigorous than "what's a red sign with 8 sides?"

i'm sick of seeing people drive like assholes because they are on their phones. i'm not going to come out and say that people shouldnt use their phones while they drive (although hands free sets help a little, of course having 2 free hands is one thing, but where's your mind?), but people should be ticketed more frequently for just being poor drivers. the official offense should be "driving while douchebagging" or DWD for short.

if i have to pass one more person who is driving 60mph in the left lane because they're on their phone, i might lose it. and they might lose it. and by it, i mean their life. its bad enough when people sit in the left lane driving like an asshole when they're not on the phone. but if you're on the phone, and someone else is occupying/entertaining you, then you're not overly concerned with getting somewhere fast. so pull the fuck over before i ram you off the road and into the guardrail. and for the last time, STOP acting surprised and upset when i flip you off. shit, some states even have signs that say "drive right, pass left."

instead of pulling over people who just speed, cops should pull over these people because they are the ones who actually create the accidents by driving like assholes. there wouldnt be congestion if the left lane was always moving faster than the right.

these people must be ticketed. or at the very least, shot in the face.
