Drivers, listen up!

Let me tell you what really irks me...

1. Turn signals left on... Being southern doesn't justify your stupidity. Turn them off.
2. Light bulbs... You owe it to Edison and your insurance company. They're pretty cheap. When Mr. Bulb doesn't glow happy any more, REPLACE IT.
3. On ramps... speed up! I'm going to go over this one more time. If it's an ON ramp you speed you push the slender peddle on the right. If it's an OFF ramp you push the big fat one. YOU CANNOT MERGE INTO 70MPH TRAFFIC WHEN YOU ARE GOING 30! You will only accomplish two things -- a wrecked car or seriously pissing people off.
4. Slow traffic... KEEP RIGHT. Europe got it right, why can't we? If you are in the left lane and faster traffic approaches, move over!
5. Running out of gas on the Interstate... if you get on an Interstate and you run out of gas you are stupid and should be fined accordingly. The closer you are to the nearest gas station you passed up the higher the fine.
6. Do not drive in the shoulder... I see this all the time by MetroCenter. If you get in the shoulder to go around you will stay there. Note: There is a concrete wall that says so. It's not worth it. Just get in line.
