You. Yes you. I hate you.Oct 16 '00 Write an essay on this topic.This epinion is not anti-human. Everyone could be a better driver. Here are a few issues I feel I would like to tell the world. Maybe they can be cleaned up by the time I meet you again in traffic. There are some hints towards better driving, so read it the whole way, instead of judging me after this next line. I have learned to hate driving. Me. Who used to be eager to drive one hour to work, and just over one hour back. Me. Who would coerce my boyfriend into the car, so we could drive somewhere far away, and park for a bit, and then drive back. Is it the gas price? Kinda. Then what? I hate every driver on the entire earth. Okay. Maybe not. You know when something is bad, and you know that if you give it time, that the person in question will learn? For instance, you have to train a girl at work. You know that eventually she will get it right. But what do you do when every day, there are thousands and thousands of new drivers? They are not going to die out. They are only growing, and ever increasing. Tips! The Turn Indicator. That's the fancy word for signal light. If you're about to cut in front of me, at least use your signal. That way, I can judge if you are a bad driver or drunk. Turn indicators are used when veering more than one meter away from any line. This includes changing lanes, pulling to the side of the road, turning onto your drive way, or heading towards McDonalds. Again, use it when you want to get back onto the road. I don't care if you want to get off your own drive way. It's not there, close to the steering wheel, to use sparingly. The brakes. Most people don't realize they do this until they learn to hate drivers. Curb it quickly. Do not step on the brakes every three seconds. I hate driving behind someone who every 2.5 seconds needs to tap the brakes. It's like the driver is crying out wolf. When will I know if you really need to stop? I will just get used to you flashing your brakes all the time. Also, if you're going down a hill too fast, don't just keep your foot half on the brake. Brake as much as you need to, to slow down, and then don't press the gas pedal. You will just need to brake again right away. Your kids. That's right. I don't like your kids. That is, if they are standing on the seat. So, you're all buckled in, that's great. But really, it defeats the purpose when you have a four year old that's standing right beside you. When I look in the rear view mirror, and I see a kid standing next to the parent, I want to scream. If you rear end me, I'm going to have a smashed up trunk, AND a kid in my back seat. Don't you realize that? Windshields knock out quite easily, especially if you have a 40 pound kid to help it. I'm sure I'm going to get mothers writing me saying "but my kid won't wear the seat belt, or he takes it off..." Well, I don't care. If you can't make your kid wear a seat-belt, then you shouldn't be driving. When they realize they will have to sit there all day waiting to get to Toys R Us, they will eventually sit down and buckle up. Don't know where to go? Tourists, visitors, or in-laws. If they don't know how to get to your house, please let them know. I'm tired of seeing other drivers half-driving and half-reading maps. The map-reading will be done much more efficiently and effectively if they pull off the road and devote some attention to it. Thanks for reading my tips on how to be a better driver.</i>  |
