The Fear of Turning
Today's feature is about driving, and the collective skill (or lack thereof) of those allowed to legally practice it. Slow drivers and hardened criminal drivers aside, I'd like to focus on the art of changing the direction of your car while moving. We're not even going to venture into the land of turn signals. For the purposes of this discussion, let's assume that everyone uses their turn signals, and with plenty of advance time. I know, this is like believing that Christ converted to Islam, but sometimes it's fun to feign ignorance. Can anybody tell me where in the driving manual it told you to slow to a stop, check your ears for wax, and say a prayer to the almighty golden cow before you make a turn off a fast moving road? I've got 20 bucks that says it's not in there. So why oh why then do people insist on forcing everyone else to stop so they can turn? Could you please save your butt scratching desire until after you vacate my driving lane? Am I wrong? Do I have a squirrel up my butt? Only you can set me straight. |
