Dear Phoenix Drivers,

There are so very many things that you perform poorly at, it is hard to know where to begin. I will start, therefore, with a specific problem that I encountered while driving yesterday in the afternoon.

It was the afternoon, approximately 1pm, and therefore not a peak traffic time. I could complain about how crowded the highway was despite this, but that's not what I want to address here, so let's move on. The problem, dear Phoenix Drivers, is that you speed along merrily, until you see one of our friendly patrolman parked on the side of the road. Then, without fail, you heedlessly slam on your brakes causing a major compression wave of slowing and braking behind you. This behavior - must stop.

First of all, the specific time this happened yesterday, I was cruising along at roughly the same speed as the car ahead of me - 68 mph in a 65 mph zone. Perfectly reasonable. Right? Well, the Phoenix Driver 2 cars ahead needlessly slammed on their brakes slowing to an unreasonable 58 mph. Seriously?

Ugh. Just....get it together Phoenix. Stop being dumb.

  1. Oh, I hate that. IF YOU SEE THE COP, IT'S TOO LATE PEOPLE.

    And don't get me started on people who merge onto the highway using their BRAKES.

  2. Exactly!

    And seriously, those that enter the highway using their brakes need remedial driving school NOW!

    So the drivers in Seattle have these problems too?

About this Blog

I have a journal. You know, the real kind...paper, bound in a book form...nice leather cover. And I do write in it...every few months. I like it, but somehow I find it hard to keep up regularly. I'm at a computer nearly all the time, so I find it easier to keep up on this blog. So, that's what this blog is for. To help me journal when I'm away from my journal. A place to collect my thoughts before I lose them to the chaos of my mind.

Or see my first post here. That's why I started this blog.
