Holiday driving

MsMcDucket

Why do people drive so crazy around the Christmas Holiday? I think just about all of my family members have been "cut-off" or had a fender bender in the last week or so. What happened to being respectful to others? Oh well!

Drivers around here got very wacky since Thanksgiving.

Drivers here are chronicly bad drivers, thereby causing road-rage on the few that can actually drive.

People staying the left lane, bumber lovers, *sigh*.....

I've almost gotten hit 3 times this week.

I only once this week, but I've been on the road only once this week - so thats 100% of the time this week.....

Hi Ozzie ! Say hello to M and Mrs Ozzie for me :-) And I am sure my statement will be confirmed

Probably a lot of people drink and drive during the holiday season. Lots of parties are going on.

Probably a lot of people drink and drive during the holiday season. Lots of parties are going on.

Lots of people tired, stressed, and rushing, too. There's more traffic, because people are driving around shopping and visiting and running errands.

I've noticed that older drivers that don't normally drive during rush hours are out and about during Xmas season. I'm speaking generally here, but a lot of these oldsters can't see at dusk, they drive below the speed limit when everyone else is tyring to do 10 over, they're not sure where they're going and are looking for a driveway or parking lot entrance.

In other words...they're just in the damn way.

I got behind three of 'em yesterday...and it was only lunch.

Horn blowing occasion one: One old guy was taking up two lanes, going 10 below the speed limit, oblivious to the fact that people behind him wanted around his slow ass. He finally turned, but he stopped in the travel lane instead of getting in the provided turning lane.

Horn blowing occasion two: An old lady was looking to turn into a parking lot...except she had already passed it. She stopped in the middle of the road and tried to back up...I was behind her, traffic was too heavy in the other lane to get over, so I just blew the horn at her until it flustered her and she put back in forward and moved on.

Horn blowing occasion three: An old couple are at a traffic light. They're arguing. It turns green...they're still arguing. Apparently about which way to go. She wanted to go left, thus the left signal was on, but he kept pointing right. The only problem was they were in the straight only lane. BEEEEEEEP!!!! Go the F*** On!
