Cars Are Not Boats! 'Period'

 

Watched yet again on TV, fools with 'cereal packet driving licenses' causing carnage and chaos on the roads, the same idiots on any road anywhere in the world where a few millimetres of snow or rain have fallen. The same idiots who believe that once they are in their 'steel' or 'aluminium' coffins, can drive around as if they are exempt from the prevailing conditions around them, exempt from being responsible to others as well as themselves.

Yes, you do have a round lump of rubber in each corner, that is on the road, but each bit of rubber is only contacting at any one time, the same area as your sole on the shoe or boot you are wearing at any one time. Can you walk on water? No, of course not, neither can your tyres, driving on snow or wet surfaces is doing just that! You are not on a road at all! You are actually driving on 'Water'!

Your precious metal coffin is floating along the road with an idiot in control of it. More than likely late due to sensible drivers ahead, while you moan and curse them, nattering on your mobile phone, talking to passengers, changing your CD or cassette, indeed as literally does happen, putting on your makeup and eating a snack of some sort. Idiots really do these things every day.

These same idiots always end up taking avoiding actions due to lack of attention on their part, usually causing others to do like wise, but unlike the others who have taken avoiding actions due to the idiot who smudged her lipstick / or dropped his sandwich, they drive (float) of in their metal coffins with no dents in their coffin, angry at the 'fools' that nearly damaged their pride and joy 'coffin'. The idiot that drove his lorry into a ditch because of you shouldn't be on the road, fool his lorry weighs a hell of a lot more than your luxury coffin and he has taken far stricter tests than you, also he can not stop in any driving condition on a 'sixpence' (or any other coin for that matter). That coach driver likewise has stricter tests as well, what about his passengers you have injured?

Or about the pile up behind you due to your stupidity, or the emergency crews involved in clearing your mess up, you literally don't care at all, as long as your metal coffin is not scratched and you reach your destination before you leave in the first place.

Driving a vehicle is not a natural ability, it is a skill to be learnt, relearnt, honed, polished and continually perfected on a daily basis. 'Speed Kills' think about that next time you see a dustpan and brush being used at an accident, it means a 'Death' caused by an idiot like 'You!' Someone later that day receiving a visit from a stranger in uniform telling them that their nearest and dearest will not be coming home any more. I hope its you one day, then perhaps you might start driving like a professional not a complete arsehole!

A, B, Catch you later dear reader.
