Is it just Me
or... |
by Jim Duarte |
|
| I have been silently (sometimes not)
putting up with this for years. However, during our first winter
storm the other day, it reached critical mass. The inability or
refusal of drivers to use their directional lights is becoming a
virus! The other day, I was on my way to work in slippery
conditions and making the transition from an Interstate Highway
onto a State Highway. I was in a line of about 10 cars taking
that ramp and eighth in line. Not one of the seven vehicles in
front of me nor the two vehicles behind me, had a directional
on! I thought to myself "I guess they are all using my directional
to let anyone else know where we are collectively going as a group?" |
| Am I the only one who notices this? It
happens on the highway, in the city and even in rural driving.
On the left side of our steering
columns, there's a lever. The lever is generally, well within
reach of our left hands. In most cases, it can even be actuated
with a single finger! It's called the directional switch. We're
supposed to use it when changing lanes on the highway or making
a turn anywhere. In some cases, I admit, it's
because the offending driver has a cell phone in their left hand
stuck to their left ear. It's obviously too far to reach that
directional lever - God forbid, you put the phone down for a
couple of seconds! Of course, that's another a story in itself! That's
it for now... just venting!

lights - another rapidly expanding VIRUS! Someone is going to
get seriously hurt or killed one of these days" |
