Raining, Driving, Screaming….
Well, here we are in 2006, another election year and another battery of measures to vote on, though I’m not going to rant about that, because here in Oregon, the most important issue right now is the overwhelming amount of IDIOTS who can’t drive IN THE RAIN!! Seriously, you’d think here in Portland it was raining WD-40 with shards of glass and roofing nails.
In a 30 minute span (which usually takes 10 minutes) driving to work, in one day, today, I’ve seen two wrecks, countless soccer moms and blue-hairs driving 20mph in the left lane, as if they were “helping” by slowing down to 20mph UNDER the speed limit. Leave a bit of extra room between you and the next vehicle doesn’t NOT equate logically to “imagine the Grand Canyon, now triple the widest point and make that your guideline for following others”. What happens is you leave enough room for the 19 year old with the Honda Whatever, complete with Folgers Exhaust System, to race into that space, causing Soccer Mom to hammer the brakes, chain reaction ensues, and now the whole fucking road is hammering their brakes.
There should be tests for all to be able to legally drive in the rain. If it’s THAT fucking hard and so stressful that common sense becomes a ball and chain, TAKE THE BUS YOU A-HOLE AND GET THAT POS OFF THE FUCKING ROAD BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE!!!
