Rant: Driving

Too many people are on the roads driving that should not be. There are posted speed limits for a reason but yet people do not follow them. It tells you to go 50 km/h, not 35, 40 or 45 km/h so why do they drive that slow? When people are riding your gluteus maximus its a sure sign you need to speed up. It wont hurt you to go a notch over 50, it will only help those infuriated drivers behind you. You may not have anywhere to be and are just on a nice leisurely drive but there are other people on the road that are trying to get somewhere. Signals are also put on vehicles for a reason. It isn't like moving your finger off the steering wheel for a brief second and flicking on your blinker is such a hardship. Drivers behind you need to know what your doing when you all of a sudden unknowingly slam on your brakes. I experienced both of these horrible attributes of drivers all in one. Driving down Main street on a Wednesday afternoon on my way back to school, a vehicle in front of me decided to slow her pace to 35 km/h for no apparent reason so of course I was driving quite close behind. Without her signal on to give me any warning she would be slowing down again, she put on her brakes and stopped in the middle of the road to make a left hand turn. Then I suppose she rethought that idea because she slightly crawled forward again. Slamming on her brakes for a second time and swerving with the nose of her vehicle onto the other side of the road with oncoming traffic she stopped again. After finally finding a break in the traffic she made her turn and aloud me to continue on back to school with no more delays. She is a prime example of someone unfit and incapable to be on the road. There are grounds behind why people are made to pass driving tests in there youth. Driving capabilities deteriorate with old age and these people should be made to relearn how to drive properly if they are still on the road.
