Im here... and I share your 'paranoia' when driving. No one uses their mirrors, no one checks blind spots, no one uses blinkers. If I drove just obeying the rules and expecting everyone else to obey them, I would be dead. I have to adjust for mistakes made by other people. I also drive a tiny hatchback, so thats not helping much. I could chose to not drive, but then I wouldnt see my friends that live six hours away. So I suck it up. I turn it into a test to see if I can keep my cool and accept humanity at large, even though it feels like they are trying to kill me. Youre not alone, Ghost. At the very least this miserable person is wishing you well.

i totally agree with beth. i have a constant paranoia of that. people dont care about the rules and laws. they do what they want so other people have to do something they normally dont do to save thier butts. Ghost, a lot of people have that same feeling. people drive and other people want to do something that may cause their life or yours.

The other day I was driving along, stuck behind a combine going about thirty. THere were two cars in front of me and they both passed him so I went to pass him, but the guy driving the combine turned left so I had to slam on my brakes to miss hitting him. It was the stupidest thing I have done all year. But, the combine had its hazard lights on, and hazard lights and turn signal lights are the same fucking lights, so I had no idea he was turning. It is frustrating to drive thirty miles an hour on a highway, especially on a two lane highway when its your turn to pass the combine and theres ten cars behind you. People get real pissy. So thats my story. I was the stupid driver of the day and I'll admit it, but the only person I was putting in danger was myself.
