Driving Behavior
Something is weird this week. Can a full moon last five days? It’s like everyone signed up for pulloutinfrontofboofer.org.
This morning an Asian woman, oops, my bad, this 3rd trimester chink pulled out of Daventry across the slow lane in to my lane. Granted I might had been doing 60 or so but, number one, you don’t pull out across lanes and number two, you should be able to notice a car, A CAR, coming down the street in the fast lane at a high rate of speed.
After I passed that whore, where you start going up that hill, this VDOT truck decided to pull out in front of me from the shoulder to… you guessed it, just cut across the lanes. Assuming to make a U-turn at the top of the hill. How about not doing that when there’s a pack of oncoming cars.
Then when I got to Crystal City this JMC Jimmy decided to make up his mind like forty times on the south bond on ramp to S Clarke Street bypass. I was nice, I didn’t whip out in front of him at the intersection. My light wasn’t orange, it was more like tomato red. So I just waited for him to crawl across the intersection and proceed to do 10MPH up the ramp. When I went to pass him as he Pac-Man’ed the center line, which hadn’t started yet but was a literal 200 feet ahead. All you have to do is have your eyes open and you could definitely seen that a choice of lanes was about to perplex you in the sudden future. As I tried to pass him on the left, as you should, he was creeping to the left, so I gentle guided my vechile to the right at which at this time I think he thought, “Oh I should be in the right lane.” Fine, I’ll just pass on the left. I guess at that point he noticed that were other tax payers trying to use this road, namely me. He then I guess out the courtesy of his heart, decided to let me pass, on his right, as he pulled out of my way by pulling into my way.
That was just my commute this morning. I’m not going to get into the 55MPH hi-fiver’s that drive on the 65MPH HOV lanes.
This has been going on all week long.
During the “tornado”, people were driving like 35MPH with their hazards on. If you feel the need to turn your hazards on while driving, then don’t fucking drive. AND DON’T drive in the far left lanes, you’re just asking to get rear-ended. Pull over to the side and put your parking lights on. Not your hazards. We just need to see that there is a car on the side of the road. For some reason, flashing lights causes rubber-necking. Don’t slow down traffic more because you can’t fucking drive in the rain.
I, whom is a clean car window snob, could maintain 55 through that rain. People have a hard time looking at the road as apposed to staring at the rain on their windshield.
Speaking of rubber necking. On Wednesday there was an accident next to Landmark on the far right side lane of 395, NORTH. HOV and the south bound lanes were all clogged up right there from jackasses wanting to stare. Seminary Road is a little over a mile north of Duke Street and you could just see the line across the street where people were slowing down, then traffic just clears up after it. It erks me so much. They need to put up 40′ walls along 395. Then again that’ll just slow up traffic to because every will slow up to 35MPH around the blind turns.
People are morons. I obviously could write a book about this.
The world would be a much better place if most jobs didn’t require us to place ourselves physically outside of our homes to perform them. There are many people on the road who just have no business being there. Thats cool, not everyone has to be a good driver, I’m an awful cabaret singer/dancer and as such, do not do it. Ever. Yet if I had to be a good cabaret dancer to get to work I’d really piss off some high-kicking french girls every morning. We’ve outgrown our need to go into work every day, but management doesn’t have a handle on that yet. I think this is principally for management to maintain control of its people with its obvious lack of legitimate skill/knowledge they have to parade around in suits and give orders and action items. Meh, I just turned this into another rant about business management.
