Common Sense: Plan ahead during the course of driving | Saturday, December 18, 2004 @ 05:12PMIt’s not my fault you do not know which lane you should be in so do not honk your horn at me like it’s my fault. One day not to long ago, I was driving down a four lane road. I was in the curb lane driving at the appropriate speed during what I would consider light traffic. As I was driving along, I saw a SUV with its right turn signal on. Normally if a car wants to get into my lane and the car is sufficiently in front of me I will ease up on the gas as to slow my vehicle in manner which will allow the car in the other lane to merger into my lane before I approach them. This time it was not the case.
The SUV was right next to me and for me to allow them to merge in front of me I would have had to decelerate in such a manner that would require me to apply brakes. So what did the car do? Did they just wait for me to pass and then merge over, no of course not they have to honk their horn at me like I did something wrong. They thought I was wrong not to slam on my breaks so they could merge into my lane. It was not like there was heavy traffic or I took such an action to prevent them to merge other than keep my current speed.
By this point, you should be wondering why the SUV had to get over to my lane in such a hurry. It was because the driver was not paying attention to where the hell she was and needed to get over so she could get into a shopping center. Of course, she did not have to get into the shopping center right away because there was also another entrance to the shopping center ten yards up. So she missed the first entrance so instead of just slowing down, merging over and getting the next entrance, she came to a dead stop in her lane and thought I would actually slam on my breaks to allow her to merge into my lane so she could get into the first entrance of the shopping center.
You little dumbass, I did not do anything wrong so there was no reason to honk at me. So remember when driving pay attention to where the hell you are and were you want go so you make sure you are in the curb lane for when you approach the store entrance.
Then again the actions of this woman was still better than the action another woman took the other day, but I will save that little piece of common sense for another day.
