Driving Tips

I thought I'd share some driving tips. it seems some people need a little
refresher.

Just because you put your turn signal on, and there is a two foot gap between
two cars, you do not have the right to veer over like you've had a stroke. (I'm
talking to you, young lady in the Camry with the vanity plates). If I had my
mom's '76 Cadillac, that I drove in college, I would not slow down and your rear
bumper would be in your lap.


If you are at my rear bumper, in the other lane, it is a lot easier to let off
the gas and slide behind me to get in my lane. This is especially true when
there are no cars behind me for miles. There is no need to hit the gas and get
in front of me and make me slow down, or do you have to be the leader all the
time, like my 3 and 5 year old children.


Due to the laws of physics, a 6000 pound car cannot accelerate to 45 miles per
hour in the time it takes a car 35 feet away from you, also traveling that fast,
to reach you. Again, my mom's old car had a lot of steel, it would mess up your SUV pretty good.

That is all for today. Learn it. Live it.
