The lack of intelligence in the common driver is amazing.

I'm not saying I'm a perfect driver and all that, but I've come way too close to getting hit by people exhibiting a complete lack of understanding about driving.

The other day, this trashy woman decided that, while she was driving in the lane right next to me, nose to nose, it would be a great idea to get into my lane. I only panicked when I realized I was heading for the curb to get out of her way. Luckily, my Penis has good breaks.

Today, in a two lane left turn, I was on the outside lane, and this man was on the inside lane. For anyone who lives in Norwalk, it's turning from Firestone onto Imperial, its a very long turn. Anyway, this man decided it was a really good idea to do something already highly illegal, and change from his lane into my lane at the apex of the turn, regardless of whether or not I was driving along-side him at the time.

It's just... Jesus, it's not hard to look over your shoulder when you're changing lanes. I've gotten so much in the habit that I look even when I'm positive there isn't another driver on the road for miles. I've had my share of close calls from not looking, but I can claim decency and when the other people honked at me from near hitting them, I got back into my own lane instead of just expecting them to get out of my way.

Do me a favor, if you have the great privilege of driving, try caring about the safety of others around you, instead of just your own personal convenience.
