I am so frustrated with the way people drive around here.

Today I was walking to the gym and was completely disregarded (as were the several pedestrians near me) by two cars turning right onto the street we were crossing. They just drove on through, not even looking to see if there was anyone crossing the street. And we’re downtown. During the lunch hour. There are people everywhere. And those drivers didn’t even think to LOOK.

Then this evening I was cut off by a car merging onto the freeway – he entered the freeway and then immediately moved in front of me, into the left lane, traveling at a whopping 63 miles per hour (70 mph was the limit). And of course the car that was merging before him was in the right lane, as it should have been, only it was traveling just a tad slower making it impossible for me to get around. The car in the left lane eventually passed the car on the right but then it stayed right there in the left lane. Who are you passing, Dude? GET OVER!!

I wish I could say today’s encounters were out of the ordinary but I see drivers like this every single day. It’s very irritating, to say the least.
