Tougher driving tests

I swear that every single person driving out there should not be driving.

First I get stuck behind some old man who could have not been going faster than 2 mph. Whenever he’d stop at an intersection, half his truck would stick out past the stop sign, then for a, say, left turn, he would first turn towards the right, turn the blinker on, and finally take the left turn. Every time. I was finally able to pass him.

Shortly after that, a guy decides he needs to make a left turn from a parking lot, across 4 lanes of traffic. So he waits for the perfect moment to pull out. Three lanes of traffic have to slam on their brakes, including me. The guy gets all pissed off because of the near-collision he caused and starts making gestures in his vehicle, finally he looks at me and makes gestures telling me to keep going so that he can pull behind me. I just drove past him slowly while holding up my middle finger. No, really.

As I reach my destination, trying to pull into the parking lot, a guy is sitting there, in the entrance, driving a huge SUV, in the middle of the entrance, so there is no room for anyone but him. I had to wait until he decided to pull out so that I could drive in.

And as I was driving back home, I take a right turn and a car decides that it was the right time to pull out of the side street, completely ignoring his Stop sign. So that was another chance for me to test my Jeep’s brakes.

I have to drive to Ellis later tonight. It’s roughly a 15 min drive from here. I wonder what I’ll encounter. Or even live to tell about it.
