IS it just me? I consider myself a safe driver. It's even on my driver's license.
I have notices something, and some of you women are not going to like, and maybe you are not part of this group. But if you are, I hope you change your ways.
Women + SUV's equals BAD IDEA.
More often than no, in my unscientific personal poll, I notice that women are more careless about their driving when in an SUV than men. Regardless of what the statistics are on ACCIDENTS. They are aggressive, weaving in and out of traffic while talking on the cell phone, doing their nails, plucking their eyebrows and shaving their pits. They do not pay attention to the road like they should. They speed and follow way to close.
I know some will be offended by this, but I don't really care. Women should not be allowed to have drivers licenses. They should stay barefoot and pregnant. After all, they ARE the weaker gender.
Dumb Motorcyclists

I am a careful driver. I look out for other traffic, including motorcycles.
The other day I was driving down SR 50. I was cut off by a motor cycle and had to slam on my brakes. It happened so quick, I was doing the legal speed limit, and he just cut right in and slowed down very quickly. I had little time to prepare. This motorcyclist was putting his life in danger by driving so stupid. What if I couldn't stop in time?
While most motorcyclists are cautious, knowing that some people in larger vehicles are not as careful as I might be, some think it is necessary to Hot Dog it in heavy traffic, riding between lanes, cutting people off, hot rodding, and in the meantime putting peoples lives in danger, especially their own.
Just yesterday a motorcyclist was killed after a picup truck hit him not far from where I live. The report said that he was not wearing a helmet. Knowing how stupid other people drive, especially when it comes to encountering motorcycles, doesn't it make sense to wear a helmet.? Not that it would save their lives anyway, but it could help.
I have been considering buying a motorcyle or scooter, but stupidity goes both ways on the road, and now I think I'll stick with the gas guzzler.
Now if we could get the semis that hog the road and ride up your butt to be more careful.

When driving I try to keep a comfortable distance between myself and the car in front of me. But it never fails, some bona-fide IDIOT has to cut in front of me, and of all things, drive slower, causing me to slam on my brakes and creating a hazard.
So I am looking for a parking spot in crowded parking lot, I see that someone is going to their car to leave. They get in their car and I wait, and I wait, and I wait......Finally, what seems several days later, the car pulls out of the spot, and I am able to park there. People are just as territorial as dogs are.
So I am at the gas station, waiting in line to get gas. The guy/gal in front of me has pumped their gas, gotten in their car, and I wait, and I wait, and I wait....Finally, what seems to be several days later, they pull away from the pump so I can get some gas too. Again, people are just as territorial as dogs are.
Sometimes I just want to yell at these people and say, "get the hell out of my way"
Does any of this sound familiar? Or am I just impatient?
