So I swear, everywhere I go, there it is again, some idiot slamming on their brakes then turning without warning. This seems to be a sickness spreading amongst the population. And it’s not just limited to turn signals! You also have people driving WAY under the speed limit, cutting traffic off, and all sorts of stupid things. I mean, are these people trying to get themselves killed?!?!

But the worst part of all of this, is that 9 times out of 10, you know what I find out about the driver?? That’s right, they’re talking on a CELL PHONE! About what only God know but is it really that hard to just say “hey, I’ll call you back when I’m not in the car?” or a simple “I will be there in 10 minutes.” NOBODY (and I mean NOBODY) needs to carry on a conversation on their phone so badly that they are risking not only their own lives, but the lives of people around them!!

And the thing is, there is no law against it (not here in Ohio anyway)! I mean, we have other driving laws about what you can’t do while driving, drinking for one. And regardless of what statistics may say about it, it is VERY dangerous to talk on the phone and drive. All you have to do is cruise around Columbus for a little while and you will see EXACTLY what I mean.

And this doesn’t apply to just cell phone, it applies to lots of other things also. For instance, it seems like at least once a week I see some girl putting on makeup while driving! I mean seriously, it’s one thing to have a phone to your ear, at least you can still see, but trying to apply makeup in the visor mirror, you have to be freaking kidding me!! It’s also not uncommon for me to see people reading while on the freeway! It’s usually the morning paper, laid across the steering wheel. I mean what in the hell can these people possibly be thinking?!?!

People really just need to learn to put the phone, makeup, newspaper, or whatever else they are doing down, and just drive drive. The road itself requires your full attention!!!
