Shitty drivers

Every time we're in the car, we almost wreck. I don't know why people think they can drive any way they want because of the car they own. Having a nice or "pimped out" car doesn't mean you're a good driver. If I were to have a video camera in my hand every time we left the house, more than half of the city's population wouldn't own a driver's license. It's frustrating because you can't enjoy being in the car. It doesn't matter how safe you are, this place is filled with idiots who don't belong behind the wheel. There should be a common sense test along with the written exam. I'm not saying I'm the best driver in the world because I'm not, the skills I lack don't affect anyone or are a danger to myself. My flaw in driving is parking, I can't park for shit. However, I do correct myself so I don't block people from getting into their cars when I'm next to them. This is something so many people don't do. Whatever happened to being courteous?

One of my biggest fears is the freeway. This is because people drive very fast and since the majority of them lack common sense, it scares the shit out of me. There you'll be, coasting on the freeway then BAM! Someone slams on the brakes even though there isn't a car in front of them. We change lanes to avoid having to brake every 10 seconds and then they speed up so we can't pass them. What the fuck is up with that? If you're not going to go faster then why keep people from passing you? Then you have the people who insist on driving right next to you because you're their "safety net". They don't realize that if the car in front of them wrecks or something happens, there's nowhere for them to go because they barricade themselves between cars. Driving isn't supposed to be stressful. People think way too much when they drive. If you let go of your grip on the wheel so your knuckles aren't white, sit back, and stop talking on the phone then you'll be ok. Cars aren't going to fly off the road, get a hold of yourselves! There are no words for the amount of frustration I have when I'm in a car. When is this going to end??? When will people open their eyes and see that accidents are caused by people not paying attention? You were given a handbook you had to study from before taking your written exam, maybe you should read it!
