So...I'm driving...

My brother as been Blogging about driving...

What would Jesus drive?

Blogging.  Doesn't that sound like something from an old monster movie or something?

Picture Spock looking into his periscope saying, "The Blog is growing but these readings still don't make sense. What do you think Bones?"

"Dammit, Spock! I'm a doctor not a Blogger!"

Oops. off subject again. Silly me!

So my brother has been blogging about driving which is weird because I was once thinking of writing articles about driving and how driving is like life which is where 'What would Jesus Drive?' comes from...

Because I didn't think of Blogging but someone else obviously did so I have all this stuff in my head that I can Blog...

That's just funny right there.  Like it was all planned or something...

OK, on topic;

The biggest pet peeve of drivers was found, by someone who was paid too much money to figure it out, to be not using turn signals.  And we still don't use them.

Is that because we're too lazy or we don't want people to know where we are going?  People don't think turn signals are important until they almost get hit or they sit at a green light for too long because the other person is waiting for them to go straight so I can turn left...

I means it only takes a couple fingers to hit that turn signal on.  If your hands wweren't tied up with that cell phone, McDonald's coffee, cigarette and talking...

You've never seen someone gesticulate while they talk on a cell while driving? That's good times right there...

I find, when I pull up to a light in the turn lane with my turn signal on, just about everyone else suddenly turns theirs on.  Maybe they just need to be reminded to use it.  Their lives are so busy and hectic that things escape them.  I forget everyonce in a while and I become the guy who notices the turn signal infront of me and turns mine on.

I'm not perfect neither.  But I know the inherent(?) safety of using my turn signals to warn others that I'm going to be turning and slowing down, hopefully, to accompany the action.  So I don't get rear ended.

That's another funny story.  But I think I've rambled enough on this one.

Final thought; are the people who don't use their turn signals on a regular basis as directionless as they seem to be as drivers? Do they not really know where they are going?  Are they making it up as they drive instead of mentally plotting their course for the journey or day ahead.  Don't take the drive for granted.  Some destinations can only be reached by careful planning and your turn signal should be on to tell people where you are going and you know what you are doing...

Always thank God when you reach your destination safely, I say.
