I NEED to say something about Florida drivers. I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. This is home to beautiful beaches, beautiful women and some of the most inept drivers on the planet. How hard is it to use a turn signal? It’s not some new alien technology we just brought back from the moon, and its quite useful to those behind you who arent driving 35mph on a 4 lane highway in a semi truck sized SUV enjoying a double mocha frappa lattachino or whatever while backing up traffic for miles.

     And if its not the 110 lb soccermoms that absolutely require a 6 door personell carrier for their tiny frame plus their 1 offspring, then its the retirees. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with old people, I plan on being one myself one day. But when I am an older and hopefully retired person, I will be aware of the fact that not everyone on the road is retired with the singular goal for the day of getting to the piggly wiggly to get in on that one day sale of sugar free cookies.      
     There is nothing more frightening than seeing a 1973 Buick driven by someone who can’t see over the steering wheel, en route to a sale.

    But by far the worst type of driver is the SUV driver who think’s they’re driving a Porsche. There is nothing more butt pucker inducing than looking in your rear view mirror and seeing an Escalade bearing down on you on the highway at speeds that are obviously more than it’s brakes will be able to cope stopping fast enough to keep from tearing the rear end off your vehicle if required. The only thing more fun than that is having the same drivers swap lanes and dodge in and out of traffic in a 5000lb+ while sipping a coffee, on a cellphone and reading a newspaper.

I want to have a law passed so that we can carry weapons in our cars. Not to shoot people, but to disable their cars. A nice shot to the tires will atleast disable them long enough for the rest of the peple on the road to find safe shelter
