My wife and I play this game “drunk driving” or “cellphone driving.” Usually, it’s obvious, and I can always tell the cellphone driver because their driving is much, much worse than if they were merely drunk.

Cellphone use in an automobile just needs to stop. I’m so sick of it and the folks who do it. Especially the ones who think that it’s ok for THEM to do it, they’re paying attention, it’s those OTHER people who are a risk So, I’m with you – horns all the way. And if that doesn’t work, then tickets, tickets, tickets (I hate the idea of having to make laws to tell people common sense ways to behave, but, well, when ya gotta, ya gotta).

And I’m also with smalltown re: the people who pull up and /stop/ at that roundabout. Of all the stupefying, moronic things to do.

To complete the driving peeve trifecta, I’d add the “left turn yield darters”… you know, you’re sitting at the red light… oncoming folks have left arrow and are turning… you see a car lurch as the driver stomps it to get thru before the yellow arrow turns to a solid green… and then your light turns green, the one car completing their turn goes thru and then *2 or sometimes more self-important people – sometimes on cellphones* dart thru … and why not, they’re special, it’s just this once, after all….

Sigh. It’s so sad how people drive so inconsiderately.

On an unrelated traffic note. Blinking yellow means caution, not stop! Blinking red means stop! It doesn’t matter if someone at the cross intersection is waiting or not. Do not stop at blinking yellow unless you’re about to hit something or someone. Getting that wrong on the drivers test should be automatic failure and I believe you should be tested every time you renew. End of Rant.

Speaking of round-abouts…look for a fatality in the future from the one at McClendon and Rocky Ford. That intersection is very dangerous and should be re-examined.
