Week 10: Why do people drive like this?


Why do people insist on being rude on the roadways?  On Friday night I wanted to treat myself to a burger at a place called In-N-Out Burger.  I drove over there and while waiting to turn into the drive-thru some girl drove around me and cut in front of me in line!  Who does this kind of thing?  I wonder if this is a Las Vegas thing because people are pretty rude here!

Why are there so many car wrecks here?  Probably because people don’t seem to think they’ll cause a wreck no matter how they drive.  Everyone else should watch out for them, right?  This theory makes absolutely no sense at all!  I remember watching a news story a few years ago where a reporter rode along with a highway patrol officer who was writing citations for speeding drivers.  One lady was pulled over going over one hundred miles an hour!  The reporter asked her if she was afraid of an accident and the lady snorted and said, “I haven’t been in an accident yet, so obviously I won’t be in one!”  I wonder how long that theory held up for her?

And it’s not just idiots in cars here, people riding motorcycles are dying left and right here!  I see them out on the road occasionally.  You’d think they would be really cautious with the way people drive here, but most aren’t!  A lot of these idiots drive like they’re some kind of stunt driver.  They go over the speed limit, cut in between cars, drive on the side of the road to pass cars, and run red lights.  And do they survive this kind of stuff?  Hell no they don’t!
Motorcyclist Dies


How about that?  The guy was speeding and ran a red light before he slammed into a truck.  It’s insanity on the roads here.  And I always hear people saying that no matter where you live, the drivers are worse there.  What is wrong with people?  Especially here in Las Vegas we have the news filled with car accidents and people dying or getting injured.
Ambulance Crash


You aren’t even safe in an ambulance here!  Either the ambulance hit someone else, or someone slammed into the ambulance!  I’m guessing someone slammed into the ambulance because most people here won’t even pull over when they hear a siren!
Man dies after driving the wrong way on the freeway


This guy was driving the wrong way on the freeway.  Imagine being the lady who drives one hundred miles an hour and seeing some idiot coming straight at you also doing a hundred.  What do you think goes through your head…besides the windshield?

Enough news links.  It’s just insane to me how people drive today.  Every day I see people who seem to be trying to cause a wreck.  A lot of times here in Las Vegas after a wreck the driver will just get out of their car and run away.  Then the police arrive and decide they don’t know who was driving.  Now who pays for the damage to your lovely Mazda?
People are just stupid and don’t seem to think they can be hurt driving erratically.  I’m sure writing STOP IT here won’t change a thing though.  Let’s hope I’m not killed by some idiot driving the wrong way before next week so I can ask why about something else.
