Back to Basics, Drivers!

To those in California who think they know how to drive. You don't. I'm sorry but it's true, you have no clue what to do on the highway. And how do I know this? Well I haven't killed anyone and you have made several attempts on my life, in one drive! More than I ever experienced in New York in one year! And I will make a case with several points:

Point 1: When I put my left or right signals on to change lanes, that doesn't mean you get to speed up. Yes, you're pissed that I'm cutting in front of you even though your 4 car lengths behind but that doesn't mean you have to go 90 just to get in front. Freakin' ay! Go around me if you get close.

Point 2: When changing lanes and moving in front of me don't make that I have to slam on my breaks. Hello?! Make sure there's room so I don't have to rear end you because the guy behind me rear ended me! Do you want that? No! Neither do I. I hate insurance companies. And don't slam on the breaks after you've changed lanes that's ridiculous.

Point 3: Stop signs mean STOP! Come to a full and complete stop and don't hit people. It's wrong and stupid. I'm crossing the street that doesn't mean you can roll through and look at me like "how dare you walk in my path." I have the right away!

Point 4: The left lanes of the highway are saved for people who are either carpooling and/or going fast. Going the speed limit or below it doesn't mean you're going fast so don't drive in those lanes. Stay away from them because I'm there and if you want to pass someone go ahead but get back in your own lane. Because I am going to go fast whether you like it or not

Point 5: You see an exit approaching that you want to take, this is not the time to practice your Fast & the Furious moves. Do not cut 5 lanes just to get to the exit, just wait for the next one. It's not like you're going have to go cruising for an hour just to turn around. It's not that big of a deal. Besides you shouldn't have been listening to your Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits Album and paid more attention to the road. It's that simple, douche!

So there are some points about my frustration with driving in CA; let's not even get into the topic of parking because the curbs here are nothing like the ones that were back in NY. I was a rock star parallel parker, I should know. Sigh. The one thing that I miss from NY, consistent drivers.
