Today as I was traveling into Oviedo on 419 on my way to pick up a part...by what did my eyes witness, a young couple ~ girl (driving) and a boy (hanging out the opened door of the passenger side)...what were they doing, well the girl apparently had to pull over for a reason ~ why? ~ because the boy got sick...where did they pull in at ~ someone elses drive way...what was he doing ~ THROWING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT PERSONS DRIVEWAY!!! NOW THAT WAS GROSS AND RUDE!!! What made it even worse is while driving back through what do you suppose I saw still in the middle of that driveway ~ YEP! Some people can really be rude and have the nerve to do that to someone! Well maybe they figured the rain would wash it all away...DON'T ALWAYS COUNT ON IT! Boy do they have nerve or what??? That was so sickening that it almost made me want to throw up!!!
OK, when you are going to be sick I can understand you've got to do what you got to do...but right in someones driveway, come on????
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

Recalculating Your Routes

With all the road construction that seems to be increasing all throughout the state, keeping up with your best routes of traveling, back and forth to work, shopping, quick stops, business relations, kids activity, and so on, and save you some later grief would be placing more efforts into doing some recalcutlating within your budget in many different ways just by doing some additional homework and math, (some things you never out grow and we need to do for the rest of our lives).
Mapping out other routes that work best for you, even if it calls for some back roads and used mostly by locals, could work to your advantage. It’s going to cost you either way you go with it because you may use more gas or you may save so figure it out for yourself. And just because most routes given by Mapquest.com do not cover the best routes either, only the convenient main routes as is wanted for you to use. Road Atlas, Maps and a calculator should start you off in the right direction!
You have to think things through for best interests and saving so why not in your regular or alternative traveling routes and how you can also squeeze in those extra stops along the way…cuts down the extra trips in which could include everyone that drives within the household with equal share and responsibility! Those little extra expenses can be better spent if only a little more effort was applied! Make it work for you instead of them!!!
With evactualtion routes for any emergancy must be followed or until it gets so packed you could still be sitting on the roads rather then home until it starts to move again. Anything can happen to block your traveling but when it calls for it, you should be able to figure out what works for you best.
So what routes did you find that works for you?

Deafening Base Boomers

What an annoying noise and you can hear it coming clearly! Everyone can't help but hear them loud things on the roads. Not only are they very annoying but they will also cause someone to lose their hearing! Not only is it bad for the person (s) in the vehicle that blasts those things but it could also interfer with hearing Emergency vehicles sirens and propose as an nusance to those who have to hear it!
This has gone on to long without any kind of reconition or enforcement against these people who BOOM BOOM their traveling ways down the roads and highways! I'm sick of it!!! Not only is it annoying but it most certainly not anything I would call music! The question I have always wanted to ask just one of these idiots just as soon as their exit their vehicle is, "Can you hear me NOW"!
How do you feel about these BOOM BOOM Base BOOMERS on our roads?

“Get Real Behind The Wheel”

Things that families go through with in dealing with the tragedies of their teens and others in vehicular accidents have been an out of control growing trend now for many years (Sadness, Sorrow, along with Medical & Funeral Expenses). With one teen, following the tragic death of his best friend and severe injuries he and two other close friends endured while he was behind the wheel driving, was the start of an organization program called “Get Real Behind The Wheel” by himself and his best friends father! It makes complete since that this program would not only benefit our teens but adult drivers as well!
Youth Driving Programs
Safe Teen Driver strives to teach young drivers about responsible behavior behind the wheel of a car and in life. Its programs target teens and twenty-something with a powerful message designed to grab their attention and make them think about the consequences of their actions.
Safe Teen Driver comes to high schools, churches and other community locations to present information and personal experiences to young drivers. These visits often include speeches from Bruce Murakami and Justin Cabezas, other victims’ stories, talks from young drivers convicted of a vehicular crime, and material from local law enforcement. The program blends hard-hitting realism with inspiration, hope, and forgiveness. It leaves lasting impressions and motivates young drivers to take responsibility for their actions.
C.A.R.S. PROGRAM
Safe Teen Driver frequently partners with C.A.R.S. (Cops Against Racing on Streets) for events and educational promotions. C.A.R.S. shares the same vision as Safe Teen Driver—the desire to prevent reckless driving by teens—and together the two organizations can get reach even more young drivers.
The Tampa Police C.A.R.S is a unique educational program that guides young drivers toward making safe, smart decisions while driving. The program works with teens to help them avoid reckless driving and racing on streets. It also strives to offer alternatives to this potentially deadly behavior.
C.A.R.S. is on the move and working to ensure that the car clubs are in all area high schools. The C.A.R.S. Program is supported and endorsed by the staff of the Tampa Police Department, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office and Hillsborough County Public Schools.
FUTURE CHANGE: Young Drivers Redemption Program
Safe Teen Driver works with young drivers who have committed a vehicular crime. Whether already sentenced or still in the legal system, Safe Teen Driver may offer help to these drivers who understand the gravity of their actions, are truly remorseful, and who want to change their lives and the lives of other young drivers. Working with Safe Teen Driver, these young drivers deliver powerful messages of responsibility on the road and in life to their peers.
************************************************
Wouldn't this be considered a big step in the right direction to help our teens better understand the safety in driving and furthermore, help parents and families from the tragic possibilities of loss or fatal injuries? Is this something you would support?

DUI, Speeders, Reckless Drivers, Repeat Traffic Violation Offenders (RTVO) & the Judicial System VS Us & Law Enforcement!
The judicial system isn't working it would seem for repeat offenders that continue to abuse the driving privileges costing the tax payer's more money and risks lives as well. Just what would it take for this to work in our benefit instead of those criminals? For the judicial system to work it needs to get mean and get mad and get stricter on fines, punishment, restrictions, and jail time!
Now there is another child without his parent (his father) that is in critical condition because of one of these repeat offenders. The judicial system is supposed to work for us (the people) not the criminals that take the advantages that are given to them from the judicial system. That should be a big wake up call but apparently it has gone on for this long and they STILL DON"T GET IT!
So WHAT will it take for their needed wake up call? How many people (including children) have to die before something is done about the lack of justice and the reason Judges are on the bench, and jury's are formed? What will it take before they finally catch on to drivers to wake up as well as they continue to break the laws and get away with it getting slapped in the hand with a school grade ruler? And they wonder why people no longer believe in the judicial system, DAHHHHH!
At least the Law Enforcement is doing their jobs and earning their money so what's the courts excuse!
Do you have any ideas that may help the judicial system to better pick up the pace in doing their job correctly and quit wasting tax payer’s money once the law enforcement did their job as they should? Blog it here!
DO YOUR JOB! GET-R-DONE
