WHAT is up with drivers lately???????

**Kamakaz1961** · 03-09-2018, 05:00 PM

Being 1/2 Asian and 1/2 White at times when I am driving I am no longer interested in the road I am on, however, looking for Disneyland or Hollywood to no avail. The other times I turn into Ricky Bobby and I make Speed Racer look like a turtle!

I am a CONFLICTED individual!

From:
Hop Sing Wong and Ricky Bobby!

PS: I can tease my own kind since I am 1/2 Asian....Korean to be exact.....SOUTH KOREAN! If I have offended any snowflakes....oh well!

LOL

I'll tell you.... PEOPLE!!!!!!

In the timeframe of about a week, I've had 2 different drivers come to a complete stop in the road for no apparent reason!!!!!!!!!! Just stop!
And then there's the same drivers and others doing 15 under the speed limit!!!!!

Seriously, if you are that afraid then perhaps you should not be driving.

ARGH!

It could be that emergency braking, seriously! I've heard of these systems kicking in when garbage bags get blown infront of them, LOL!

Man, are you right Monica.

I find the same thing on the roads nowadays. Here's my thoughts:

It seems most people operating (I won't say "driving") a vehicle now pay it about as much attention as the latest fad on a magazine cover or FB trend. Here today, gone 15 seconds from now.

There are WAY more important things to concentrate on/pay attention to than hurling 2-3 tons of steel and glass down the road about 8 feet from others doing the same in the opposite direction.

I mean, how could their lives (or anyone else's) be as important as the text they just received? Actually taking the time to learn how a certain vehicle acts/reacts in certain road/weather conditions? Pfft! C'mon! I'll deal with that when the time comes. (Freezing solid when confronted with any issue on the road as you said).

And this sad truth is getting worse by the minute.

Going to mom's house for Thanksgiving, driving down a rural road, ie corn or bean fields and NO houses. Vehicle in front of us comes to a complete stop. Lost? U-turn? Nope. Driver puts vehicle in park, takes papers out from behind passenger side visor and proceeds to start reading. Some people’s children, I swear.

I'm glad to know its not just me!!!! I live in Athens but I work in Huntsville. There is a serious lack of driving ability and attentiveness. Combine that with a good dose of selfishness and it makes driving pretty infuriating some days.

Only vehicle on the road syndrome.

That’s the saddest thing.... the only issue these people seem to have to confront is another vehicle in the opposite lane in THEIR lane doing the proper speed.

Just stopping for no reason in the road is super dangerous for everyone. Not sure why these people don’t realize this.

I do.

Rhymes with "door on".

I have front and rear facing dash cams in both our vehicles for a reason.

How bout those that feel it's perfectly fine to do U turns where ever and whenever they want, without regard to the traffic in the other lanes needing to slow or move over?
