Did you hear my horn?

I just came across this post about idiot drivers. I’ve had my fair share of contact with idiot drivers, and this post manages to convey my feelings quite nicely.

Lanes, pick one and stick to it.

Follow those little dots and dashes on the road and stay between a pair of them, it’s not that complicated. When making a 2 lane turn into a 2 lane road, stay in the lane you started in unless you want to explain your incompetence to the mechanic, insurance company and the Dept. of Motor Vehicles.

Even if a road jogs at a funny angle as you cross an intersection, and the markings aren’t too clear, it’s not rocket science. If you’re on the far left or right in a 3 lane road, stay to the far left or right. If you’re in the middle lane it can’t be that complicated to figure out where the middle is in the road across the intersection but sure as shit, 9 times out of 10, you end up in the far right lane with people honking (often me) and screeching brakes to avoid your dumb ass.

Aren’t the cars in the lanes next to you any clue that it’s unsafe to change lanes at this time?
