Hello fellow blogger, How is everyone? I hope safe and well. Well, I have to compose this blog because well, it seems that more and more drivers are coming down with a horrible condition which I prefer to name it as, "STUCKONSTUPID"itis. While my husband and I were in San Antonio for our honeymoon, we were on our way to his niece's house. While we were en route, a black mustang in front of us is swerving all over the highway! At first we were thinking that he was on his cell phone hobnobbing around and not paying any never mind. Then I chimed up and said, "He's drunk!" My husband disagreed with me, and said that he was just being stupid, so in reply to his comment, I said, "Yes, you're right. He is stupid because he's driving drunk!" As we proceeded to stay behind the inebriated driver, my husband quickly changed his answer and agreed with me. I was worried and told him we should call  the police. I wrote down and well as I could for being in a moving vehicle, the license plate. In front of  this monster was a white car with an old lady in it. My stomach sank! Drunk drivers are "attracted" to red lights... hence the scenes in the COPS show with all the drunk drivers running them. He said to not worry about it and that just made me mad. I was quiet the whole time we were on our way to his niece's. I should have called anyway. I hope that punk didn't hurt anyone or himself. I hope he got pulled over and sent to jail where he belongs. I haven't heard anything on the news about anything of this nature, however, if something like this does happen, and someone gets hurt, that will be a sad day for everyone. Please don't come down with this condition. Even road rage-rs are suffering from this. Is there anything we or the law enforcement can do about this?

Hello All, I have something to say about the drivers out there who think either the road is thier's, or are just in all reality, DUMB DRIVERS!!! It's getting close to summer time and everybody's getting all excited about vacations, and pool parties, and all other kinds of summer activites. Well, you know what? Its okay to be safe on the road going to where ever you are going to. Don't be in such a rush! I will tell you, I was almost involved in 6 accidents in a span of 4 days and ALL of them were people NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD!!! Cell phone users, can it not wait till you get home or in a parking lot parked? People looking for something in your purse or breifcase, can it not wait till you get home or to your job... PARKED? People in general, are things more important than the road, other drivers, traffic lights, emergency vehicals, etc... to pay attention to the road? I can't help but roll my eyes about these people and try to go on my safe yet attempted merry way. If you don't want to pay attention to the road and other drivers, then your license should be revoked. Pay attention to the road or get off! Its not that difficult!  

- Pissed off Driver!!!    

You know, on a daily basis, we drive past all the big 18 wheelers and cut them off. We don't care if they are there or where they are going or what they are hauling. All we care about is getting to where we need to get to. I used to think like that all the time before I became a security officer at a trucking terminal. Not a truck stop, a truck terminal. Big difference. We really take for granted that they are they and that they keep things on the move and deliver everything we need on a day to day schedual. Two years ago, I met and fell deeply in love with a trucker and he told me and showed me the ways of a truck driver on the road. I was very suprised to see and learn all the things that they must endure during a day of driving. We got engaged and he is still hauling what he is told to haul. The drivers of cars and other POV'S (personal occupancy vehicles) are actually very rude to truckers because they don't know the rules of the road toward truckers. Truck drivers do not get enough recognition like they should. If it wasn't for them, America would cease to move as fast as it does if at all. Thanks to them, we have all the things we need to keep our day going on a day to day basis. So next time you see a truck driver be him/her in a small local truck or an OTR (over the road) truck, just tell them Thank you for what they do. They drive 10-14 hrs in any given day. They need to hear some thanks. I let my man know that I appreciate what he does daily! Just by saying thank you can make a very big difference! They need to hear it and see it on the road! Be careful and watch out for them as they will watch out for you!
