gestures.....

Driving down the street the other day and I noticed a vehicle going a little faster than it should coming my way. Uh..so I slowed down a little thinking "I wonder if that guy is gonna turn, real quick"...the man beside me as I glanced over did not have the same idea...he pressed down a little harder on his gas pedal. SO. Yes, the oncoming car did a real quick turn in front of us, not really cutting us off, but closer than would be needed. The guy in the car beside me went NUTZOID, hands flying, arms flapping and one finger poppin' up ! Wow.
Later in the day, I was taking the bus down Acadia, bus driver is not speeding....but some whacko comes flying outta the Tim Horton's parking lot full tilt and it was a near miss, him hitting the bus in the side. He, the driver (Whacko), throws his hands up in the air and his lips start fluttering....oh, brother. But wait.....in the passenger side of the vehicle is a young lad of maybe eight,....isn't that JUST GREAT that he gets to witness first hand his Dad mouthing off at a huge bus that was minding it's own business!
What is wrong with these people?

This morning, I happen to be walking past our livingroom window and I heard a police siren...so I watched out the window. Sure enough a little grey vehile whips past the house, turns into the parking lot a few yards away...slip, sliding away,...as they are travelling too fast for road conditions as well. The officer pulls in behind said vehicle and
gets out to "chat" with the driver.....I don't want his job. Too many "road rage" type of people out there for my liking!
The phone rang so I never finished seeing the scene finish out with the little grey vehicle.

The other gesture that is so common, is the one were you let a vehicle "merge" into your lane and you do it happily.
The other driver generally USED to give a wave of thanks. Not so much anymore, it's THEIR right I guess that you let them in.

Oh..and this may not be a gesture....but .....people who smoke, talk on their cell phone and drive at the same time....just how exactly is that humanly possible????
