I saw a bumper sticker that said, “If you’re not outraged then you’re not paying attention.” I could not agree more, especially as it relates to driving a motor vehicle. A 30-minute cruise down any major highway (and certainly no less on interior roads) is bursting at the seams with instances of legal infractions. Everywhere you look, people are breaking traffic laws.
I have totaled two cars. Two big cars. I've rolled both of them over, both from the same stupid mistake of over-correction. If I had been driving cars that were lower to the ground, the vehicle probably would not have flipped over...but that's besides the point.
One reaches a certain age and a certain amount of your life is spent driving. As such, purchasing gas in an unavoidable ritual. I've been driving for over 20 years now. Over the past five years I've kept track of gas prices, mileage. I've purchased gas (87 octane) largely from the same two stations.
A new law came out about not being able to use your cell phones and driving; this is especially pointed towards texting and driving. I think that it should be a personal option and this law should be abolished. There are a few reasons:
My mom is on the post-prom committee at my school. They weren't sure how the curfew law would affect post-prom since the law says that anyone under 18 cannot be driving after 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends. So they took their inquiry to the school officer. He wasn't exactly sure, because the law was only put into effect on January 1st.
I have been wondering on this subject for a while now, and I'm not entirely sure if it's an original one or not, but thought I would share it and see what response I get.
The flag sways unprotected in the rain, ropes broke, without escape. A metal ladder is near and a boy hiding beneath a tree.
A cart rools away down the frozen food, past the crowded sales rack of un-lean meat, a stack of cans in its path. The busy store soon hears an announcement "Clean up, isle 5".
Ok so apparently it is winter time if you live in the US...and the majority of us are suffering through snow, ice, rain, and hail. With this being said , I'd like to share a few pointers to those of us who have to drive through these sometimes deadly weather warnings.
