The Road Rage Files – Chapter 20

‘The Road Rage Files’ is not just about bad drivers. It’s also about irresponsible and inconsiderate drivers.

This is now the 15TH day in a row in which we have received absolutely no rain whatsoever (0.00) here in the Homestead area. Since November 01ST not even an inch and a quarter of rain has fallen. We are bone dry. We are now a desert !

Now that we know the obvious can you please tell me why drivers are still throwing objects that are on fire out of their moving vehicles ?  You are creating brush fires all around us !  We’ve currently got winds gusting in excess of 25 MPH. What you throw out the window (on fire) is setting the surrounding grass and brush on fire. Homestead ARB was socked-in with thick dense low-lying smoke this afternoon because of a wild brush fire just north of the base.

STOP STARTING FIRES !  Keep the garbage in your vehicle !

One reply on “The Road Rage Files – Chapter 20”

I also cannot stand when people flick LIT OBJECTS out their window, and then it creates bits of fiery paper that land on my car.

But you know what I dislike even more than THAT???

When people (specifically those that live in Dallas Texas) JAM ON THEIR BRAKES, simply because they see break lights FAR FAR FAR up ahead on a road. Is their depth perception THAT BAD? I mean, these cars are SO far up ahead, that if my brake lines were cut, and i simply took my foot off the accelerator, I would come to a slow REST before I came up on any of these cars!!

It’s almost like people here are trained like Pavlov’s dog, and instead of people drooling when they hear a BELL, they JAM ON THEIR BRAKES when they see a red light…..even if the red light is 3 miles up the road!!!

Ok, I’m done ranting….I feel much better now…
