Drive-Don't Drive


I don't know about y'all...but this is often the case for me when I get on 240 or 40 {E,W,N,or S headed in any direction} ....especially on my way to work. I find myself having to meditate (cum-ba-yah) and prepare myself to be annoyed by the irresponsible and impatient drivers that often swamp the roads and interstates. They struggle with failures to yield, failures to use proper turning signals, failure to use the mirrors, failure to use traffic signals (stop lights & signs), failure to drive with their hands (b/c they are talking on the cell phone, eating, texting, fighting, etc), and especially a failure to leave with the appropriate allotted travel time required for safe travel. I apologize if I sound disgruntled..but...PEOPLE, A lack of urgency on your behalf, does not constitute a sense of one on mine. It's strange, I only get high blood pressure when I'm in the car. At times, I literally want to throw the car in park, get out and throw down...but that wont solve anything...so here is an appropriate outlet to get those frustrations out. Sound off, about the strange or bizarre drivers and/or driving situations that you have come across while hitting the Memphis roads.
