Monday Madness

1. Describe what you believe is a "good" driver.

Drives carefully, watching the road at all times. Not yapping on the phone or distracted by something else like makeup or a drink. Using turnsignals. Anticipating obstacles and turns. If you are over the speed limit on the freeway, drive extra carefully since things happen more quickly. No speeding on side streets, especially in neighborhoods. Turn right on a red light only after you stop and look!

2. Describe a "bad" driver (your opinion of course).

I'm tempted to say "Anyone from Fulton County," but I have friends in Fulton County that are good drivers. But driving around metro Atlanta, especially in the area not around and surrounding downtown, pay attention to that idiot in front of you doing the stupidest thing imaginable: turning left from the right lane, turning right from the left lane, crossing three lanes of traffic to get to an exit, stopping for no reason on the freeway, not ceding to ambulances, trying to go the wrong way on ramps, etc. 90 percent of the time the dork is from Fulton County.

IMHO they would let a dog drive in Fulton County if he had the money for the license. ("Didn't that little guy with the gruff voice look kinda funny to you, Fred?" "Which little guy?" "The one you asked if he had a bad week and he said 'Rough, rough.'" "Oh, him. If he paid his money, who cares?")

3. Which category do you fit in? Please back up your answer. Feel free to use examples!

I've picked up lots of bad habits. A lot of times I will not use my turnsignal on the freeway to change lanes because even if you have a lot of room, the moment you put the turnsignal on, someone speeds up to fill the space rather than let you get in.

And I speed like anyone else on the Atlanta freeways. People still tailgate me at 75 m.p.h.!
