Zombie Nation

The wife and I decided that we needed some things from Target today. This is never a good idea. On the way we witnessed about 30 different cars that were driving erratically. It seemed as though these, when confronted by any obstacle, could only cope with the sudden change in the traffic or any other such distraction was to stop in the middle of the road.

I am already of the opinion that the majority of Americans should not legally be allowed to drive. The tests and screening should be more relative to the potential harm that a distracted person could cause. People, now more than ever, are more distracted while driving their monster trucks than ever before.

Every single day I can see more than 20 people on my 15 mile commute (both ways) smoking, talking on the phone and drinking beverages. That means you are doing too many things than you have hands. You needs hands to manipulate the wheel in order to not careen off the side of the road into the cyclist or pedestrian.

We need stricter regulations and more public transportation and less 90lb women driving tanks.

    Whoa, my readership is going through the roof!

    I guess tiny ladies driving their tanks aren’t the real problem, but they always try to kill me in my little honda/bicycle. Maybe they read my blog too…
