Terrible Drivers in Sachem

If everyone knew how to drive, there wouldn’t be so many accidents and there would be no need for road rage.  But since people like to take it upon themselves to basically make up their own driving rules this is what leads to the 5 types of horrific drivers.

  1. The driver that doesn’t know he has blinkers.
    You are driving behind a guy and for the longest time you are riding up his butt because at one point he is driving 20 miles per hour down a 30 road. You start to get very angry. All of a sudden he stops on his breaks and then turns. At this point you’re thinking “OMG! USE YOUR BLINKER NEXT TIME!” And then angrily speed down the road. 

  2. The delayed green reaction drivers.
    You pull up to a stop light and it’s red. It instantly turns green as you begin to stop so you do not bring your car to a complete stop. Thinking that green means go, some people just don’t go, which makes me think, maybe they are color blind and think it’s yellow for slow. NO ITS GREEN….GREEN MEANS GO! If you can’t get that concept through your brain maybe driving just isn’t for you.

  • The OMG cop driver.
    You’re going 75 miles per hour on the highway. Everyone is driving around the same pace and there is no traffic. Life is great. Then the person in front of you slams on their brakes. Instantly your road rage comes out. WHY ARE YOU STOPING, IT’S A HIGHWAY? Then you look over to right and notice that a cop has pulled someone else over, Not you, Someone else. Drivers, do you really think that the cop is going to say to the guy they already have pulled over “can you hold on a minute I have to catch that driver really quick.” NO Cops will never do that, they have better things to do!

  • It’s a stop sign not a sleepover driver.
    Have you ever noticed how long or short someone stops at a stop sign for? Most people just stop, look both ways, and go. But no, some people like to think that everyone has all the time in the world to just sit at this one stop sign for two minutes while you day dream. No one has time for that. Drivers have people to see and places to be. Next time you want to day dream at a stop sign, make sure there is no one behind you, and then by all means go ahead.

  • When a rainstorm brain washes people.

    You are on the road and it starts to drizzle. Drip, drip, drip of tiny rain drops. You start to see people turn on their windshield wipers fast speed. You then think to yourself, come on people its little water droplets. That is when the rain brain washes people’s ability to know how to drive. IT’S WATER, FALLING OUT OF THE SKY. I shall go 10 miles per hour and piss off every other driver around me. As if I had never seen water before. Great, I might as well just sit back and cruise because that’s what everyone else is doing.
