So, I was driving today, like I do most days XD and I saw a car, actually I saw many cars, run red lights. *major sigh* Like. I can't even explain how... irritating to me it is when I see people purposely run red lights. And that's just one of the many things I can't respect about people, especially in people's driving. It just boggles my mind that people have such a disreguard for human life and safety and the rules. Like, honestly, I can understand going 5, even like 15 miles an hour over the speed limit, depending on where you are and what the speed limit is. Like, its pretty normal for people to go like 75 when the speed limit is 60 or 65. I can even see 80, cause I've gone 80... many times XD and on the freeway I don't think its that big of a deal, as long as you dont get angry when you're not going that fast. But I don't think you should be going like 40 in a 25 zone. Ya know, the more I write about speeding... the more I realize how much I do it... which is... still technically breaking the law... but I swear I don't like speed unnecessarily dangerous. I hate when people speed to show off, or seem to race in the streets. Now a days there are so many cars on the road and especially at rush hour and stuff, that I just shake my head and stuff when I see people with those super loud and fast cars just revving it up and speeding when there is literally a stop light like 200 feet away. See, that;s another thing I don't understand, when people speed up so much, only to be stopped at a red light. Like seriously? At least think of your gas!
But more on the note of running red lights on purpose (I mostly see it at commute hours, and are there any cops around? No -_- ) I come from a family that -- well really its just my dad, he races and he knows about cars and how to drive and all that. He's not professional, but he still knows whats up and all that. So, I've developed the same sense of sorta racing and stuff, but what I value most about cars and driving is good handling. There is this road that I like to drive and its just dubbed "the hills" because instead of going the freeway, you can go this road but its very twisty and turn-y and has lots of ups and downs and stuff. Its also a pretty small two lane road. Its not, like, super small, its been widened over the years but its still pretty tight in some spots. Anyway, the thing I hate the most about drivers on this road is when they cross the double yellow line and deviate into the oncoming traffic lane, and they only do it to save a spit second on a turn. I just really hate when people do that. Like. Its not a super busy road, usually, at least not in both directions, but there are still many cars that drive it, and a collision on a tiny road like that is basically going to be devastating. And since there are many, many turns and blind corners, if there is an accident and cars are coming, there may not be a lot of time to react and stop and get to a safe place. So, ugh, I just really hate that. Plus, I know that if they were capable drivers, they'd be able to handle the car to drive in the lane. I do. XD No, but seriously, its really irritates me and I wish I could give all these drivers a talking to. I'd rather be stuck behind a slow car than have the possibility of getting into an accident because people can't drive in their freaking lane. *sigh* But, I do hate super slow drivers that also don't pull over when there is a turnout. Like... If there are a million cars behind you and no one in front of you and you're going what seem to be a speed that's irritating people, pull over! Now, I try to be a lot more cool that I used to be, and just take my time and stuff, but I used to get so annoyed. And its not that there aren't places for them to pullover , I just think they are being rude and not letting people get on with their lives. Like, I've been behind people that I can tell are just rude and deeply inconsiderate, and still cross the double yellow line! And its just... painful for me. Just. Ugh.
It also dawns on me that I've written quite a bit about... not that much XD So, I might make another one of these and not focus so much on driving. But honestly, there are sooooo many stupid and rude and inconsiderate drivers out there and I pray every time I get in the car for God to keep me safe and everyone around me safe, cause, its really dangerous. Most of the time, things are ok, but it only take one car, on driver to make even the smallest mistake and cause a big accident that blocks the road for hours. Yeah... So for anyone that hasn't started driving yet, I implore you, please, be sensible and don't be under the influence or distracted. But also, when people irritate you when you drive, make sure you don't do those same things. I don't want to sound so upity and pretentious but I don't do the things that I get really irritated about. Because if I get irritated, that means others do to and I don't want to irritate others. Yeah, so just be careful when you drive and be safe and pray. I've been a couple accident, none of the that bad, just little fender benders mostly, but its still expensive and can be a real hassle, and they can be a lot worse than just a fender bender. So don't risk it! Don't! Ok, well, I'll say tootles for the night and watch the rest of the Olympics broadcast XD
