I want to scream...
You have no clue the desire I have to scream right now.
So I am 24, I started driving at 15, so that is 9+ years of driving experience (we wont include the various "borrowed" times before 15). Now I admit I have had a good share of accidents, and that in truth I have not always been the best driver out there, but hell, I know I can drive better than those I see around me.
I went out to lunch today, and in going to Carl's Jr to get lunch. It is not a hard drive. It is down two blocks maybe three from where I work. I have mellowed out over the past two years and so I was in no hurry to get there. Well coming down the street and crossing a busy intersection, a car coming from the other direction (late model Honda or Toyota) decides that it has to turn into a parking lot before I get through the intersection (I was almost through). Well the car turns in front of me and I hit the brakes coming within inches of the vehicle. Well the driver had to been scared out of her mind, because for the next 45 seconds she sat there, in the middle of the road. Finally as my patience had waned and I began to beat on the horn, she pulled into the parking lot letting me continue down the block to Carl's Jr.
Had I not developed this fascination with Guacamole burgers, I would have forgone the food altogether and just gone home. But I really like the burger.
So, my general question has become: Do they let any idiot and moron in Utah to get licenses? This hasn't been the first time that I have had a near accident (I tend to be able to "out drive" most situation now). They installed things known as "turn indicators" and I remember taking a form of "driver education" before being able to drive a car.
Just my two cents though...take it for what it worth...
