Here's a Rant

Yet, so many people around here still want to drive like their car is hooked up to a couple of old nags. I realize that the roads, speed limits and traffic lights in town weren't engineered for this volume of traffic, but for crying out loud. Step on the freakin gas pedal and let's get this cluster f..k around town moving a little. It's no longer Mayberry around here!

I bet your day would be a whole lot more enjoyable if each time you saw one of these old slow drivers you changed your attitude from "Hey old man get the F out of my way and get the H off the road. If you can't drive like you were 20 go live in a nursing home and take the bus." to "Man, I sure hope when I get that age that other drivers are courteous and look out for me so I can still enjoy life to it's fullest".

Wrong. 1. I don't expect to reach the age where I won't be in a hurry when I have someplace to be. 2. As much as older people can frustrate me because I have always thought they should be driving faster than anyone since they are running out of time, I can look past their failings since they have a valid excuse. 3. It isn't just the elderly that share this problem around here, I see all age groups that should be sporting a blue tag with a white wheelchair hanging from their rearview mirror. 4. I'm no spring chicken anymore and haven't seen 20 for a long, long time, but I realize that things have changed around here and I'm not the only guy on the road trying to get somewhere.

onpoint! Joined: 01/19/2003 Location: ND	no doubt, it is very frustrating. not that i want to go FASTER, but i do want you to put your cellphone down cuz it is obvious you can't dial and/or talk & drive at the same time! the lights are not synched to accomodate the current volume of traffic (try turning left at an intersection - there's only a couple of left-turn controls on Broadway), so there is already a system issue causing problems, but add on the fact that many people are simply overwhelmed by their phone conversations and don't pay attention to the lights/signs/traffic, it makes matters worse. my road rage is rarely aimed at an older driver, instead it is usually just the ignorant drivers and they come in all ages.
