Shopping seasons bring out driving/traffic noobs

[g5jamz]

At lunch, I witnessed a person attempt to put a car in reverse...IN A ROUNDABOUT!

Traffic accidents are up in RTP/Raleigh. I think it's because of volume and increased numbers of noobs when it comes to high traffic driving. Sprinkle in a dash of texting and distracted driving and it's a recipe for fail.

yeap. I had my contractor postpone several projects until jan because of this phenomenon.

It is RTP...

not many of us native North Carolinians here.

[mmmbeans]

yea but i don't think it's the yankees who aren't accustomed to high traffic.

[Jase]

yankees!

I met my wife at five guys for lunch... hit the dumb driver trifecta in that lot. People going backwards at high speeds into the travel lane, parking parallel in perpendicular spaces, and driving on the wrong side of the road.

All three drivers within 30 secs.

True...but then RTP freaks in snowstorms too. Locals just stay home.

[mmmbeans]

it's definitely the yankees who aren't accustomed to snow.

I've become too aggressive of a driver now. It seems like everyone is going extremely slow in the fast lane or hesitating in traffic or making some other idiotic decision like driving down one way streets downtown.

oh god. what do i do? do i go no? yes? hesitate? no? brake? gas?

just make a fuging decision already.

But it's the yankees going out IN the snow and driving. We don't do poo. We get our bread and milk and stay the fug inside until its gone.

it's definitely the yankees who aren't accustomed to icy roads.

fixed.

They're used to clean, plowed roads, they come down here and overconfidently drive on the ice and end up in the ditch.

Oh, and my yankee in-laws freak out when it snows.

More shopping = More women on the road.

Discussion closed.

I love the 5'2" little blondes in Suburbans that just the top of their head sticks up over the steering wheel. Then they try to park or backup. They should have those warning beeps installed.
