The other day coming home from a meeting in Westchester, I
stopped at a red light near my home and there was a car in front of me. The
light changed and the car at first didn’t move, then slowly but erratically it
began to move, drifting to the right and then to the left, at a very slow
speed, and making a left turn.
At first I became very alarmed, thinking it was someone
under stress. Perhaps a seizure or heart attack was occurring but I noticed
that I couldn’t make out the driver behind the wheel. Perhaps the person was
slumping under the dash board while turning!

As we both slid under the overpass of the LIE, I could see
better that it was a young lady, leaning back and in here hand was a phone! I
leaned into my horn I was so mad, and she was telling me in sign language that
give her a minute, shaking me off!
Why is it that the traffic laws only apply to some of us and
not others? You see this kind of behavior all the time, and it makes me worry,
just for my family or myself. What if someone who is not paying attention
causes the death of someone?
Then you travel through the local streets, the residential
ones where people drive down the street like it is a speedway, unconcerned
about children who might be playing, or cars pulling out of driveways, leaving
no time for reaction to the speeder? If that doesn’t rattle your cookies, then
how about when you approach a Stop Sign? There is a car coming from another
direction, and you stop but he runs the sign? This idiot hasn’t figured that I
might try the same thing. Where the heck is the safety or courtesy on the road?
Recently I was driving down a residential street when all of
a sudden from way down the street came this pickup truck, doing about 60mph
right up to my rear, almost trying to intimidate me to get out of his way! He
was without room to maneuver around me, and at my mercy, that is when I get my
back up and deliberately slow down, this makes him come to some kind of
conclusion: that I won’t be intimidated.
Then there is always the idiots who are granted access to
the highway. You are doing 65, and some moron jumps in front of you doing 35!
He should be pulled over to the side of the road and his heart should be
removed. Of course I must not forget the jackass that we all deal with, you are
driving at say 65 mph again, there is safely 6 cars lengths in front of you of
space, the recommended distance in the driver’s manual. Numbskull in the lane
next to you is impatient with the guy in front of him so he pops in front of
you at the very last second, scaring the hell out of you, no signal of course
because he thinks that like him, I won’t let him in. Once again, a heart
disposal is in order.
People, use common sense, because as Thomas Payne once said:
“Common sense is not common!”
