Why ? Why is it soooo easy to get a drivers licence ?
It only leads to idiots behind the wheel.
I have been driving since I was 16 legally with a licence, 14 if you count when I actually began taking the car out(with parental permission) on my own, where the cops could not touch me.
I have always been a good driver(yes, in my own opinion). I have been involved in three accidents, two involving other cars.
Back to the point. I have been thinking about this for months, making a post about the terrible drivers in this city. It is not only just uncourteous, but some people are just plain stupid. Scared and/or inexperience only goes so far before you have to say 'this person is an idiot and should not be operating a motor vehicle anywhere much less within a highly populated area such as a major city'.
For instance there are three lanes(in each direction) on a road. Two lanes have cars in them with three or more in each. Guaranteed when they hit a red light one or two will slip into the open lane, not complaining ... yet. So you figure since they made that last second jerk into the open lane that when the light turns green they are going to go a little faster then the other cars. Not talking NASCAR fast or anything, just five or ten kms faster. Nooooo they go the exact same speed as the other cars. OK, so the driver must want to turn in the next block or so. Again, Nooooo they keep on going and going making sure no one can get by who may ACTUALLY WANT TO GET TO WHERE THEY ARE GOING BEFORE SUMMER ARRIVES !
There are also the morons who speed up when they think you are going to change lanes into the lane they are in and again do not pass the slow car. This is especially frustrating on the 401 and like highways. Why do you have to slow others down ? I do not understand why you want to frustrate another driver only to have him or her now driving beside your car getting more and more angry.
You also have the clowns who are on a major city road, in heavy traffic, putting along looking for an address. Totally oblivious to the headaches they are causing around them.
I do not even want to touch on the parking lot idiots.
Whew ... rant over.
Thanks for reading, please vent if you feel the need so I know I am not alone.
