WTF Wednesday #3

WTF Wednesday #3

Something I’ve noticed lately is that people in Roanoke drive almost as badly as people in Ohio. If you are from Ohio, sorry you can’t drive well and if you were born in Roanoke, you are challenged. Well that is a gross over generalization I know three or four people who drive well you are from here, so not everyone.

However, something that baffles me is the swinging wide for turns. In a Semi it is sometimes necessary, if you are driving a Smart Car there is no need for you two swing three feet into the left hand land to make that right turn or vice versa.

I’m really sure that this happens in other places and it’s not just a Roanoke thing. I swear half the time I’m driving in a two lane road the car next to me swings toward me and turns (right or left) onto another street.

Seriously though do you really think you need that much extra space to turn your car 90 degrees to the left or the right? If you do maybe you need to take some improvement classes or stick to public transportation.

My car isn’t in the best condition. 90% of the dents are from people hitting my car with their vehicles mainly in parking lots.

Seriously my car has been hit 5 different times by people while I’ve been driving. Once if front of a law enforcement officer then the driver tried to lie and say I cut him off. The officer just laughed at the guy when he was telling the lie and said you do realize I watched turn into this person’s car from right over there. The guy actually considered sticking with the lie for a solid 30 seconds.

Mainly I just shake my head while I’m driving then there are times while I’m driving I really think that perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to have our vehicles weaponized.

I bet it won’t take long for people to snap into shape with their driving habits then. However, you would be required to get permission to have your weapons armed.

Traffic control this is X ray Yankee November Five Seven Three requesting missiles hot on a Yugo going 35 miles an hour below the posted limit east bound on Maple.

This is Traffic control you are cleared for live fire on my mark…three…two…one…
Weapons armed.

KABOOM

However, there would be that time when you hear a weapons locked tone in your own vehicle. Shake your head and sigh. Explode.
