Roadkill?

One of my friends drives a truck. Not a delivery van. A truck. Eighteen wheels, enough fuel to heat a house, that kind. We were talking today about how tempting it can be to just 'deal' with some of the jerks and bad drivers out there.

Not that anybody would, but I thought it might be worth a mention to all the idiots on the roads out there so they know just how close they are to having fifty thousand pounds of metal roll over them. Maybe a little more curtesy is in order? Is it that hard to act like a grownup?

(end rant)

If you think you have it rough out there, come visit Mumbai (Bombay, India) .. and you will suddenly "respect" the driving back home ;)

Hey I know how bad the roads can be...evrytime I go home to Bosnia I get reminded...
But my worst exeperince on the road was raiding on a bus in Istanbul, Turkey...used to take about three hrs...all thse people piled up like sardines, hanging of the doors...
Gotta love the US:)Now I complain about the construction on the tollway, or a few holes on the road. Vanity (in my case)

sno - I've heard some crazy stories about driving habits in India. I believe it was describes to me as:
Left side, right side, suicide. :-)

Jenna - I should have been specific. I can be tolerant of people who are a little loose in their driving. I was kind of annoyed with those jerks who feel the need to push and speed and pass crowd and all that crap, like they're more important or entitled than everybody else. Grrrr.

I have to admit I get very frustrated with stupid drivers who act like they own the road, and one of my favourite past times is if a small little convertible has been driving like a dickhead and I am behind them at a red light is to see just how close I can get the front of my ute to the back of their little car and to see if they look around with a worried "is someeone going to drive over the top of me" look. I'm a bad person.
