I don’t even know where to start. My post would be a mile long if I could write the way I feel about texting in general and texting and driving in particular. Add to that people who are obsessed with having a screen in their face from the time they wake up till they go to sleep at night and people that cruise in the left lane for no reason and people who refuse to use turn signals and wait until the car in front of them is 50 yards ahead before leaving a light and overly cautious slow drivers in general and......

And another thing; when stopped at a light, why do people inch up every few seconds? Why do they do that? Just sit there and wait. Quit it.

I think self drivng cars could be a good thing, I trust a computer to drive a car more than someone who is blathering onthe phone or texting...

breathing helps, a comma and periods also work.

To activate the road sensors so the light knows to change.

[ people that cruise in the left lane for no reason ]

That resembles me....

I stay in the left lane if I am going more than 2+ miles down the road instead of weaving in and out of traffic like a lunatic.

Of course I keep an eye on the rear view mirror if I see someone comming up on me like a bat out of hell...

And move over as needed.

I practice situational awareness, unlike 90% of the drivers out there....

I have had people honk at me at intersections, especially red lights when I am in the right lane and refusing to take a right on red.... But only in intersections with a blasted red light camera, I have gotten “flashed” for taking a right on red, if the person behind is pissed off that I am waiting to take a right for a green light they can complain to the city council for putting the nanny state red light camera there in the first place.
