OK, here's the deal! Why do you people see the need to look at a car crash? I do NOT understand the curiosity there. Is it because you've never seen a wrecked car? Tell you what, give me a call and we'll go visit a junkyard somewhere. It's amazing! There are literally hundreds of wrecked cars and you can look at them all day! You can even touch them. If you are a morbid type that is looking to see injured or dead bodies, I have a suggestion. I'm not going with you there but you can go to a hospital and watch all the injuries you like. Go get yourself a daiquiri, go sit in the waiting room and watch the parade. The road in front of me is NOT the place to view these types of things! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! I can not stand to be in 30 minutes of traffic to find out the accident was on the other side of the interstate and 500 dumba$$es just wanted to look at it. An accident I am not involved in is of absolutely no concern to me.

   Today on the way to work I was amazed to see there was a flashing yellow light on the Thruway. The flashing red was on Verot. EVERYONE was stopping on the Thruway for the flashing yellow. Am I an idiot or is flashing yellow a caution? I almost hit the guy in front of me because I was expecting him to keep going. Why is it not harder to get a drivers license? Alot harder would be nice. I know why it is. The automakers want every man, woman, child from birth to death to be able to drive. There are 15 year olds driving out there who scare the hell out of me. They have no idea about the dynamics of the 3000 pound death machine they are in control of. They passed a stupid little paper test about go on green/stop on red (and some don't even grasp that) and off they go. That's scary! They should be required to pass a rigorous test on a track and learn what to do in panic and trouble situations. To make matters worse, they are usually on the phone! What 15 year old needs to have a phone? How important is the crap they have to talk about that they need a cell phone? Spoiled brats think they somehow deserve a phone so they can talk about how Brad likes Jenny but she likes Dave and hopes he'll ask her to the dance instead. Shut up and drive! You do not get a phone until you can pay the bill in my world! Or if the job you have provides it (like me). I talk on the phone while I drive but I am a highly skilled professional who drives some 2000 miles a month in a highly tuned perfectly maintained vehicle. OK, I feel better now.
