Hi there everybody! I've had my license since February of 2008 myself and let me tell you: there are some CRAZY people behind the wheel! (And I don't mean in the good way. =_=;)

So here's the deal: this world is speciffically meant to relate to all what driving in the real world is really like. (And to share some of the oddities I find. ) There will be some rantings and there may even be some anime references, but this world will mostely show people, almost anything seen on the side of the road, and (hopefully for anyone paying attention) what NOT to do while in traffic.

For those of you who want to share some of your own experiences, just give me a PM and that's that! If you're not from the US and still want to add a post or two, that's perfectly acceptable too! (Personally, I'd like to hear a few stories to see if the mentality of drivers changes with the country.)

Here's a few things I'd like to clear up right now:

  • I live in South Texas
  • I generally judge distance by how long it takes me to get there, rather than by actual measurements
  • I don't claim to be an expert on driving, I'm just making sure that I can stay alive when traveling from point A to point B
  • In a normal week, I total about an hour and a half of driving time per work day (the brunt of it being in rush-hour traffic >_<)
  • & I drive a big ol' Chevy pick-up truck (in theory you can't miss it, but if that were the case then I wouldn't be making this world, now would I?)

Enjoy!

So um... yeah

So this is me, yes. Your new Guest Host! *weak fancall*

So... yeah. Anyway.

Driving into work the other day, I nearly got hit. Why?

Because some idiot thought that he could turn into my lane before I passed him. Fortunately I'm a rather passive-agressive driver. I don't use my horn much (at all really :sweatdrop:) and when someone does something stupid, I tend to grumble about it and flick them off privately than make a big show about it.

It should also be said that in nearly three years of driving now I've only ever gotten into ONE accident. Now I don't think that I'm an expert at driving, but I think that that has something to say about what sort of driver I am, considering that over half of teenagers have their first accident within a year of starting to drive.

So in conclusion, being parinoid that every car out there is being opperated by an incompetent idiot = a good way to not get into an accident because you'll be cautious. Also, please, please, PLEASE take a drivers ed course and use some common sense?
