A new blog post. This one had been ruminating for awhile.
I’ve been meaning to post about this very topic (not the crackdown, but distracted driving on the whole) for at least a few weeks now, but usually anger is the motivating force, so I don’t. EVERY DAY I encounter MULTIPLE drivers on their phones in some capacity, or multi-tasking in other ways, and nearly causing accidents or just consequently being rude assholes that cause bad traffic flow, when I’m sure the majority of them are generally nice people. (blatant naive optimism must take over for sanity’s sake). PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR PHONES or anything other ‘task’ while you’re driving, (it’s just NOT WORTH IT) and just DRIVE! Enjoy the time to ponder life, or sing to your self, or make up jokes, but please - PAY ATTENTION. Also - THINK AHEAD of where you are going and the route you’re taking to get there (to avoid those annoying last second three-lane lane changes we all hate, yet have all done), USE YOUR BLINKERS! (being mysterious may make you a desirable date, but it does not make you a desirable driver). So in conclusion: Don’t make inconsiderate multitasking turn you into an unintentional asshole. This ends my PSA
