Does this happen to you? Of course it does. You're a mindful person. You wear your seat belt, use your directional, allow people to merge into your lane, and shut your high beams off when an oncoming car is approaching you. If you're like me, you obey state law as well as the unspoken rules of the road. While tailgating, driving behind a slow poke, or the poor lost soul (who has no idea where he is and hugs the curb waiting for his street) might make you rip your hair out, nothing sends the acid up my throat like the mindless boobs I'm about to list.
You Idiot!
1. If you must talk on the cell phone and drive at the same time, keep your eyes on the road. There are cars all around you filled with people who have families. I come from a long line of hot-heads so you will definitely be in trouble if your car smashes into mine causing me to be seriously hurt.
2. Whether you cut me off, inch your car into my lane, or I let you in--give a courtesy wave! What's with no wave people? I don't know this to be a fact and I haven't read any psychology or sociology peer-reviewed papers on this, but I suspect that those who do not say "thank you" on a regular basis do not do 'the wave.'
3. Here's the real bottom-dweller: 'The speed-swerver.' Not only is this person completely void of any manners but he or she is reckless with their life and yours. In other words, this person is saying, not only am I a complete idiot but your existence on this planet is meaningless to me. According to 2005 car statistics, "about 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States -- one death every 13 minutes." www.car-accidents.com
What does it mean to be mindful of others (people and animals)? Slow down when they cross the road. Wave to show your appreciation when you've been allowed into someone's lane. Call the police if you see someone stuck on the side of the road and you can't or won't pull over. Finally, indicate all turns made using your car or hand signals. This isn't rocket science, this is being human.
