Re: whats wrong with people????

Because YOU were paying attention you were able to prevent an accident. To get into my work parking lot I have to make a left turn off a 4 lane highway that has no turn lanes. There have been a lot of wrecks here. Although I always try to time my approach so I can turn without stopping, this morning I had to stop because of heavy oncoming traffic. While sitting there with my signal on I noticed the driver coming up behind me was not slowing down. (I always watch my mirrors) Because I was paying attention I was able to drive forward (missing my turn) before Mr/s. Oblivious was able to wreck my car and my life.

On a related note, I constantly see drivers yacking away on cell phones. You won't find one on me while I'm driving. I believe most accidents could have been prevented by one or the other driver. Then again I guess you could just cover your eyes!
