Aronia's Journal

  Today as usual  I packed my kids in the car and drove them to the elementary school they attend. Driving at 8 am in the area where I live is just torture sometimes. So, this is the letter dedicated to all the fellow drivers who are driving me crazy:

 PART I                          DEAR OLD PEOPLE

     Dear elders! I am generally proud of you trying to re-enforce your independence, but I would really love if you could do it  not in the rush hour and off the major road where there is nothing there except for offices, Walmart and Home Depot. Here are some rules that I'd like for you to follow:

  1.  If you are driving through a green light and there is absolutely NOONE in front of you, please stop touching the break pedal with your foot! Green means GO. Again. Green means GO. Not BREAK. Do we need to go over what GREEN color looks like? Awesome.

 2.    If the white line dividing the lanes is under the tire or the axil of your giant Caddy, that means you are not in lane.  Kindly move your boat  so it doesn't smach into the car I'm driving with children in the back.

3.   Please stop playng with the blinker.  It is confusing me!

4.   If you are not sure where you are going, stopping in the middle of the road with speed limit of 55 m/hr is a very bad idea!  Please get off at the nearest light and figure out what you are doing.

5.   It is mandatory to be able to see before you get behind the wheel.

PART II                              DEAR ALL OTHERS

1.  Stop driving 2 inches away from my rear bumber. You being pissed off and driving really close is not going to make me go faster if there is a line of 10 cars in front of me.

Snack on some Xanax before you drive.

2.  Cutting me off so you can get 1 car further down the lane is not going to make you any less late for work. Get up early like normal people do!

3. If there is an Ambulance coming with sirens, that means you need to pull to the side of the road, not grip on the wheel franticly, while intermittently glimpsing in to the rear veiw mirror and keep on driving slowly! People in the ambulance are saving a life! Get the F off the road!

4. Buying a 70K +  car does not buy you the right to be a racing asshole on the road. Be nice! I may be your nurse in the ER someday when you crash your expensive vehicle.

Well. that's it. I'm sure there is more, but I'm tired of typing.

Safe driving to all!
