Let me start off by saying I am terrified to drive. Not only because I always feel like I will be hit, like my accident a few years ago, but because I will pick up the unsafe habits of those around me.
I will start with my friends. Most of the them believe that the roads are their own private race course. My one friends was so bad, a cop made me take the wheel for the rest of the way to Rochester. 90 mph with a suspended license will do that. And then there was the visit to Geneseo in which my friend played chicken. My friends are dumb!
Oh and you'll love this story, the driveway across from where I work is always dangerous. Not only is it on a busy street, but it is also a busy driveway on the weekends, full of idiots rushing in and out not paying attention. Last year for three weeks there was an accident on each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But this makes it worse, a lady was pulling out of the driveway when she was hit by an 18wheeler. Her SUV landed ten feet away on its tires, it didn't flip just flew. We heard it and turned to see, and we saw her driver side window filled in white, we assumed air bag. A guy I work with went over to take pictures. After ten minutes of her not getting out of the vehicle but every one else wandering waiting for the cops and paramedics, we began to think she was hurt. Our coworker returned and explained what was going on. She wasn't hurt, she was just texting and it wasn't an air bag, she had put a piece of foam in her driver's side window to block the sun from going into her eyes, so she couldn't see the truck if she wanted too. How stupid?
Lets not even get to the weather. In Buffalo it snows, we're kinda known for it. Yet every year at the first snow everyone drives like its the first time they have ever seen the stuff or been behind the wheel. And if it stops snowing for more than a week and then starts up again, its the same thing. Come on people get with it!. Let's also not forget the rain, people seem to like to drive fast in the rain. The roads are a slick. They will drive slow in snow but in rain its slip and slide time?
And let's not even get to the sports events. Bills or Sabres games let out and its like playing Frogger with your car and drunk people. However as a Sabres fan, I refuse to comment anymore on it.
Then there are the everyday drivers. First, being as close as we are, Canadians are terrible Buffalo drivers. Either to fast or to slow, but never the right speed. Next are the old, need I say more? Also their are all the stereo types, which although racist are also true, and I wont elaborate. And then the high schoolers, who believe that everyone else should get out of their way while they text, drink, and talk on their phones. You'd think sense they just got a license, they would try extra hard to not lose it or more importantly their lives.
Drunk drivers should just be beaten. They endanger everyone around them and alot of the times just walk away. Beaten with a beer bottle is what I say!
Why? Why is it so hard to drive safely? I understand accidents do happen, but why add to it? It doesn't make sense to me and probably never will. Anyway thanks for reading. Oh yeah no one reads this.
