So I am the self-appointed responsible personnel giving the Safe Driving PSA’s on twitter for drivers everywhere but especially in LA where I do most of my driving.
When I drive on the roads in LA, most of the drivers on the road drive me crazy. My blood pressure rises, I get instant headaches, and my thoughts are filled with nothing good to say about drivers I consider being crazy! I am one of those people who take as much as I can, but when I drive I loose it! The “it” didn’t happen suddenly. It is as a result of the abuse I am subjected to on the roads I help to pay for! I loose my patience with the crazies, that put me at risk, and have me mapping a diagram in my head of how to navigate my way through a bed of insanity until I get to my destination!

What’s wrong with people when they drive on the roads? They seem to loose all sense of what’s right or wrong. Take for example when they are merging on the freeway…Things seem to start out right as they cautiously approach the curve leading to the freeway. Good! As we merge and approach the extreme right lane of the freeway, the next thing I know is everyone starts to speed up! Like a swarm of bees, they start not just merging into the right lane, but “swerve” around the driver in front of them (most times me), and proceed to go directly to the extreme left lane! They make a diagonal line straight across the freeway into the left lane. Who does that? It’s as if they are going to be held hostage in the right lane so they are trying to escape as soon as possible before that happens. No care for the safety of all other drivers on the road. Their “escape” is foremost in their minds. You do not exist!
As I the defensive driver merge slowly, and watch the people I now think are raging lunatics, my headache worsens. I feel my chest tighten, and my breathing is labored. Everything in my body is restricted and I wonder if I will live to get to my destination. Will I stop breathing? I literally say a prayer for protection from those suffering from PTDS (Pre and Post Traumatic Driving Syndrome) and reluctantly try to continue on my way. I wonder if my entire commute will be like this, and it always is.
