Nor should they have to. I am proper scared for my life now while I am on the road. These Mattersville drivers are a damned new breed of drivers. Today I was cruising at a leisurely fifty miles an hour in the right lane. The center lane is at a dead stop waiting for the light to turn green. Some prick in that lane was jealous for real, son. Just as I was approaching he decided to change lanes. More importantly, when he changed lanes he didn’t much feel like changing pace. He just wanted some space or something and so he cut into my lane and remained stopped. I slammed my brakes and heard my tires spinning, skipping, and not stopping fast enough. I pulled my e-brake. Dawg, it felt like that did nothing but stink up the road. I would like to think it helped me to stop in time, but in reality, the car in front ended up hitting the gas a little sensing the danger. I came to a stop in the exact space they were occupying before they so graciously rolled forward for me. What a stand up  guy driving that van.

Also, I was at a red light the other day. Just waiting there with my left turn signal on. Some cars pulled up behind me. I watched as the last of a few cars went through the intersection. A few seconds later, the lady behind me started honking. She looked most pissed, too. I looked at the light again but it was, in fact, still red. I don’t know why this chick was flipping out, but if she expected me to left-turn-through-lanes-of-active-traffic on red, she was up for some proper disappointment. I swear, these Mattersville drivers are insane sometimes.
