on the topic of driving.

some things i really think people need to think about before they get behind the wheel:

1. DRIVING is VERY different from OPERATING a vehicle. learn the difference.

2. You cannot always have your way so you need to learn how to share, stopping for a minute is not going to kill you. Don't worry wherever you're going will still be there even if you get there late.

3. Don't assume that every driver out there is going to know your entire agenda, so signal, yield, and act accordingly because the road isn't yours alone.

4. Men aren't better drivers, they just make more fuss about being allowed to move around at 60 mph, and liking the grease and oil the absorb when they're allowed to fiddle around with thousands of dollars worth of machinery.

5. Girls are not worse drivers, however femininity is seen as a weakness and rather than admit that men could make the same mistake because their also human, people would rather say that because a human was born with a specific set of reproductive organs they are less able to operate a vehicle. lets remember that studies show that women are mroe capable of multitasking then men.

6. Pictures never lie, especially when it comes to traffic incidents.

7. For every action there is a reaction, therefore road rage does not pay off.


That said, when you come into conflict with someone over a car/driving/road related issue, be mature about it, don't point fingers and remember that you both (or all depending on the size of the group involved) are human and cannot possibly be perfect therefore are both (or all) are at fault.
