Confessions of a Bad Driver

You always hear people talk about the other driver and how bad they are. They think that they never make mistakes or are ever in the wrong. Well, I am that other driver and I make many mistakes. Sometimes not on purpose and sometimes just to tick other people off. Before you stone me I am most likely doing the same things that most of you do but will not admit it.

You know the person that drives slow on the highway until you get to a pbutting lane and they speed up? That would be me. How about when you are late for work and the car in front goes the speed limit and comes to complete and full stops at all stop signs That would be me also. By the way the closer you tail gate me....the slower I go.

Last week some lady behind me was beeping her horn because I took to long at the stop sign, and what do you know my car stalled right there. Isn't that strange. She was so close to me the poor dear couldn't go around me and of course by then she had cars behind her. Boy, was it ever funny.The real strange part was by the time she was able to back up to go around me my car magically started and away I was able to go. I have never seen a woman turn that color before. Boy was she ticked.

I have never had an accident or received a ticket although I have been a bad driver for over 30 years now. I am always in the wrong lane or going the wrong speed. I'm the idiot going straight in a left turning lane only and the butt.... backing out of the parking space at a mall looking one way while the car is going the other. My theory being other drivers will always avoided hitting me when I screw up. It has worked this long, I just hope I don't meet someone like me on the road.

I realize I am ticking people off sometimes but I try to always leave myself an out. I never do it if I am boxed in traffic. I have had a couple situations where people have got out of their car and approached mine. I wait till they are close and then drive off. I had a fellow one time on Windmill road try to pbutt me on the right. I timed that one perfectly and he ended up hitting a parked car. Made my day.

What a drive into work this morning. Woke up late so did not have time to clear off my car(as usual) I like that feeling though of driving down the highway with snow blowing off my car behind me. Also when you only have a small peephole cleared in front I find I am more focused on what's going.

I don't bother clearing off my signal lights as I very rarely use them anyway. Why bother when I know where I'm going anyway. Also by not using them they never burn out and I don't have to worry come Motor Vehicle Inspection time that they are not working. Saves money and time....pretty smart eh?

So everyone drive safe out there and keep an eye out for me. I drive a little red Honda Civic.

Happy Motoring
