After having made my first venture to college in my own car, I feel like an experienced and talented driver for having expertly navigated my way to school. I survived 3 hours on the road! (Honestly, I know that 3 hours is not that long and I am not really a talented or experienced driver, but I was proud so those words seemed to fit.) The drive really got me thinking about some things on the road that we drivers have to put up. Here are some things that annoy me when driving!
1. Slow left lane cruisers
The interstate feels cutthroat sometimes. I don't mind a left lane cruiser if they are a speed demon - because they will pass everyone in my line of vision eventually, but for the left lane cruisers that actually obey the speed limit??? Well, I really don't like to turn off my cruise control because I'm waiting on you!
2. The Passing Game
When you are on the interstate and another driver is going about the same speed as you, but you both keep getting too close and the cycle of passing each other begins. Just be the bigger person and pick a different speed!
3. Semis on cruise control
It's not so much semis on cruise control, but rather WHEN SEMIS PASS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL. That takes like 15 minutes, and then I have to turn off my cruise control to go 65.
4. No passing zones
It's the worst when someone going 45 mph is in front of you in a no passing zone, especially when you have somewhere to be.
5. A stoplight just for you
When I am stopped at a stoplight and no one else is around.... it seems like the open road taunts me. A voice in my head just says "go no one else is here", but yet, I cannot run that red light.
6. Radio talk
I turn on the radio, excited to listen to some good music, but instead the song ends and we begin the half hour discussion segment. Why does it seem like I am also driving when the radio hosts are talking?
7. Radio buzz
I don't know about you, but I can't stand it when my favorite radio station goes out of range. The music is diluted with an awful buzzing sound and then in this new region, I don't know any of the good radio stations!
8. Other people driving
Traffic is the worst.
9. Country roads
Driving on a gravel road constantly makes me afraid to ding up my car, but it is even worse when someone going the opposite direction has to pass you and sprays rocks in your direction!
