About the other drivers

Each time we go driving it pays to pay a lot of attention to those around you, don’t know if it is just my friends and I but we have been seeing a lot more drivers who put aside their intelligence when they get in the car. They drive like idiots, inconsiderate idiots. I think the inconsiderate part is the main problem, if half the drivers out there made an effort to be just generally considerate of the other drivers on the road, every drive would be a lot more enjoyable and probably much safer.  People just forget that, they seem to feel that once they get in the car the rest of the world becomes somebody else’s problem, the inside of the car becomes the limits of their world. That is a complete shame because their now limited world is constantly moving and constantly interacting with many other people’s worlds; wish more people would remember that.

I think you can get whiplash injury symptoms from regular driving, sometimes from just accelerating but mostly from the deceleration caused by incompetent drivers. There truly are a lot out there. Drivers that drive a bit below the speed limit are fine, long as they remain in the correct lane, but when they drive a lot below the limit or get in the fast lane and run slow it causes a huge problem for just about everyone else having the misfortune of being on the road with them at the time. They completely impede any regular flow of traffic, causing delays and often accidents.

Driving really brings insurance into focus. There are so many idiots out there, yes, excluding me. Drivers that really have no business being on the road or even playing with those toy race tracks, they should stick to, perhaps, video game driving only. Why bring up video game driving? I bring it up because many people out there appear to have learned how to drive from there.  Thinking about it, if people are going to drive like they are in a video game then insurance makes a whole lot more sense.

Road insurance needed

A person could create their own blog and dedicate it specifically to stupid drivers or what they do to term insurance and life cover cost. They would probably be able to fill it just from their own experiences, especially if they have a daily commute. Driving just once or twice a week would provide enough material for at least a full week. Although I would be quite happy if it were not that way. Push for drivers’ awareness, there should be a day about that. You drive? Be aware! You gotta keep the body in shape if you are going to drive at all. It is almost its own work out anymore. I am already doing neck exercises in an effort to prevent whiplash.  A few stretches before driving, just in case and some light strength training to make sure your own frame is in good shape to handle whatever some idiot in another car may decide to do. Stupid drivers are most likely one of the leading causes of constant increases in life insurance policies. And they can be so creative in their stupidity. I bet everybody even non drivers can think of a few stories of their own, examples of perfect idiocy in driving. Heck, there are websites and posts galore talking about it.

I was driving again and started worrying about whiplash, mainly because of idiot drivers. They kind of bring up those kind of thoughts when I have to swerve to avoid them or slam on the brakes because they don’t know how to drive. You may be wondering about my driving abilities if I am having to slam on the brakes, but I can vouch for myself. Truly, trust me.  Some of these drivers out there are almost guaranteed to cause injury to somebody just from the moment of their sliding into the driver’s seat.  Watching the news or having a daily commute is the best advertising there is for life insurance.

The Beginning.

The beginning post. These are always exciting! They are like walking up to groups of strangers to introduce ourselves. At least the feeling can be the same. I won’t tell you what I a plan on talking about here, mainly because I don’t know myself. It will change day to day, so I doubt I will be very focused on any one subject, but then, that could change too. I certainly might choose to do that. I will do what I can to make it easy for everybody to read. Probably set up categories and stuff like that. I also promise not to use words I have to check in the dictionary… well, not all that often anyway. A lot of the fun of writing is learning new words. Maybe not a really large part, but enough that it is enjoyable to use them now and again. You will probably find that I contradict myself as well, you may have even noticed I have already done it. Hope you enjoy it, I have had to learn to.

I will be throwing out opinions and sharing things that interest me. To that end I like to throw links in to it. I try to make them relevant or to add to whatever I am saying. Sometimes they will be just to help explain things, other times to elaborate and others just to prove a point, but sometimes they might just be ways for me to display my sarcasm. Another thing you, those who read my erudite (nope, didn’t have to look that one up, this time) words, are welcome to tell me what you think. I encourage it. If I talk about something you want a bit more information on just let me know, I would most likely be happy to share more. I am always willing to give my opinion. I guess we are beginning. I plan to be here awhile and I hope you will join me. I don’t mind talking to myself but it’s all around more fun when other people listen.
