Turn Lanes

Turn lanes were invented for a reason. Period. First off, let's just take a little journey back to Driver's Ed: A turn lane is a lane meant for turning. OK, that being said, let's elaborate. Turn lanes are there so that the rest of traffic doesn't come to a screeching halt everytime someone wants to turn. The process is meant to work flawlessly, except for those oh so wonderful drivers who feel it necessary to come to a complete stop to turn INTO the TURN LANE, and THEN make their turn!!!!! I really don't think this can be termed "road rage" when the person deserves to be rear-ended. Seriously, whats next? A "Turning into the turn lane" lane?? Turn lanes aren't there because the road construction crew got bored and wanted to add color to the road.

While we're on the subject, let's hit speed limits. They're they for a reason too. You look at the number on the sign, and the look at your speedometer, and when they match you're good. Going 30 in a 45 or worse 55 in a 70 is just...I have no words....

See I live in a college town, so driving is pretty much a free-for-all. You have the invinceable college kids, the permanent residents who want to teach the invicible college kids a lesson, the people who should read my above note about turn lanes and speed limits, and the driver's ed kids who are just plain hilarious. (Someday I'm going to follow a driver's ed car with a video camera. It will probably be the best video ever!) Needless to say, I'm either going to have to hire a chaufer or go on high blood pressure meds...
