Ten on Tuesday



What annoys you the most when you're on the road?

1. Drivers who ride my bumper when I'm already doing 70. God forbid I should have to suddenly brake!

2. Drivers talking on their cell phone. One hand on the wheel, the other with cell phone to ear.

3. Drivers shaving, applying make up, watching TV or reading while driving. All of these I've witnessed, I'm not making this up or exaggerating.

4. Drivers in the carpool lane with no passengers. I've only had the pleasure twice of seeing the CHP pull a driver over.

5. Drivers who make California Stops. That's when the vehicle does not come to a complete stop. It's more a slow motion rolling stop.

6. Drivers who cut off motorists due to impatience and inconsiderateness.

7. Honkers. Everyone has somewhere to go, that's why we're on the road like you. The light's just turned green. Inhale and chill, it's only a second!

8. See the crosswalk? It's for pedestrians. Don't block their path and then honk at them because you're paranoid they might touch your car, as they maneuver around it.

9. Repeat brakers. They brake because they thought they saw fly whiz past, because the breeze blew leaves off of tree, because - well, just because.

10. Lookie loos...folks, the accident/citation/auto breakdown has already occurred. Do your part and just keep driving, please. There's no need to brake/slow down to 10 mph on the freeway so that you can strain and rubber neck to see what's going on. Move already!
