[Shotimes] RE: Almost lost

[Michael S Wojton]

I've seen all of that here in Toledo, just not so much for some of it.  I work
with a guy who told me to never make eye contact with another driver in
Boston.  If they know you see them they will do anything they want and
know that you will move out of the way.

You know.  The typical.

Drivers cutting lane to lane at 80-85 while the other traffic's doing 70-75.

Following less than 1 car length off your bumper.

Refusing to allow cars coming in from the on-ramp to merge.

The car behind you on the on-ramp pulling out around you to merge out first
and then not allowing you to get in.

Passing on the right.

Passing on the right in the breakdown lane.

Barreling into traffic circles without regard to cars already in the rotary.

Pulling a 4 (or 5) car freight train turning left on the green light.

Pulling a left turning freight train through the yellow/red light or
blatently running the red.

Cars coming to the front of the left lane at a stoplight turning right
across your bow because they don't think they should have to wait in line in
the right turning lane.

Pulling out halfway into the road and sitting there blocking the lane to
make a left turn while waiting for a gap to open in the on-coming lane.

Scraping off a small porthole in the front windshield while leaving the side
windows and rear windshield covered in ice and snow.

Talking on cell phones, reading books, putting on makeup, eating breakfast.

You know, just generally trying to get ahead of everybody else without
regard to anyone's safety or the rules of the road.
