Ladies (and it’s weird that I have to say this) and you others, put your makeup on at home, not in your car. When you drive carelessly and inattentively, you could kill someone. Use both hands to steer – after all, it’s called a steering wheel, not a steering handle. Can’t you wait until you get to your destination before you light up? Put the phone down, and (when you’re not driving) stop using your phone in speaker mode while in public. No one wants to hear your conflict with your sister broadcast in the dentist office’s waiting room.
There is no left lane interstate law in South Dakota, just go ahead and pass on the right; but everywhere else, the left lane law is not a license to speed and tailgate. (I’m talking to you selfish oxygen thieves, and people from Illinois) Yes, slower drivers should be in the right lane, but when they’re not, you do not have the right to tailgate with your 3 ton vehicle less than two seconds behind another at 80 miles per hour.
Everyone, just STOP tailgating. It is callous, reckless, and feckless.
Your loud pipes are neither cool nor masculine, in fact, intentionally loud pipes indicate a lower than normal IQ. There are exceptions: Harley’s, genuine 60s and 70s muscle cars, and lawn-mowers (because my earth-worshipping neighbors hate them).
Stop. …at the stop sign. When two lanes go to one, zipper. In heavy traffic, practice, the golden rule and let one person in, before you go yourself.
Don’t stop at the head of the exit when there’s no stop sign. Keep moving and merge! Don’t stop when you enter a parking lot. Keep moving and find a space somewhere, so others can do the same.
If I can hear your music, you can’t hear sirens or what’s going on around you.
Dim your brights. For the love of God, dim your brights!!!
Stop driving around with just your parking lights on.
Drive like there are other people on the road and remember every car has other people’s loved ones inside.
well, that felt good, anyway.
