Does that mean you can't figure out a rebuttal?

Yeah I know, people say talking on a cellphone is more "distracting" than talking to a passenger, but I don't buy it at all.

Do you object to drivers who talk to a passenger while driving with one hand? If not, why not?
because it's harder to shove a whole passenger up someone's ass vs just the cell phone.

Drivers who slow down 20+ MPH when it starts raining and then turn on their flashers as if no one can see them

Older driver who IMMEDIATELY have to race into the left lane in order to barely do the speed limit.

sometimes the cruise doesn't work that well
Dad and I driving, he was following me, both cruise control set at the same speed. He said he would often have to slow down as my speed would vary 5 mph or so.
And this is in straight flat ND!

I agree totally on the dumb/inconsiderate things that 'average' drivers pull routinely. Though recently I realized that I spend way too much time & energy worrying about them, beyond just watching out for them & dealing with bad maneuvers. I mean - why the hell let dumb stuff other people pull aggravate me & make me pissy - gives them too much power over me & my mood. So lately I've been driving with much less aggravation & stress - like water off a duck's back!

I drive a couple hundred miles 6 days a week for work and if there is one thing I've learned it's not to let other people's bad maneuvers upset me...Besides, I'm guilty of making quite a few driving blunders myself! Most of the time it's because I'm on unfamiliar roads though...

Yup. When you're on the road as much as I (and evidently you as well) am it takes alot to get me upset.

I do enjoy watching the sheeple though and always will. So many people simply don't have much upstairs..

9. Make a lane change in front of another car, then nail your brakes. Extra demerits for doing it without a signal and IN THE SNOW.

Which sentence? This one? "Talk on your cell phone while driving with one hand."

Lee, never enter a battle of wits with the unarmed.....they'll drag you down to their level and beat you to death with experience.
