Driving and Out Of Control...

Looking Up...

When we get in the habit of looking up we can see that everything

Changes and it has a purpose.

But some of these changes are not good and rather frighting!

Maybe we do need cars that do not have real drivers and can drive themselves!

Yesterday my husband and I took a day trip;

It was of course on a major highway.

But I will have to say it was quite terrifying!

We saw people driving in a manner that will surely cause the death 

of themselves or others.

The reason I need to look up, is because down here it is

getting scary and so many are distracted.

Attention deficit at its best...

"Not a Good Thing"

When you live in the country and are used to country living.

The fast pace is un-nerving!

Now, for the record, I have driven far and wide in this great country of ours!

So I am no novice of traffic and big cities!

What I am talking about are people that are so distracted!

Weaving from side to side,

Changing lanes with no signals

Driving in your blind spot

Tailgating and up your exhaust pipe

Honking and screaming at other cars

Music so loud your ears hurt,

And people dancing in their cars so hard the car was bouncing!

Oh lets not forget the one we saw passing cars on the shoulder!

And the merging cars didn't even look at you!

Then we had one car up ahead completely stop, and cars just swerved

To avoid slamming into the back of him!

One time all the cars just started braking and we avoided a pile-up!

Oh, and don't even get me started about all the people Texting and driving!

And almost everyone was on their phones...

The speed is 75 miles per hour;

Not anymore, it is going as fast as you can go without getting caught speeding!

And that is another thing very few State Patrols on the highways anymore.

I felt bad for those who had older cars and no air and not going fast enough,

 And they were just treated like and old, man or women in the grocery store.

"Get OUT of my way"

Where did you get your license my Grandpa used to say?

"Out of a Cracker Jack Box?"

Be very careful, dear ones!

The Highways and Byways are getting very scary!

Defensive driving is a MUST!

Remember, I grew up on the race track...

I know how to drive...

Just because you are a good driver does not protect you

From other drivers on drugs, drinking, smoking pot and being distracted!
