The trouble with driving along our highways is it difficult to stay disciplined. There are just too many rules to be broken. Driving back just now, I too was guilty of indiscipline, breaking quite a number of rules myself. In all honesty, below is my guilt list for today :
1. Not using my indicator lights
- Yes, I was not always using my indicator lights when I was switching lanes. Sometimes I would use them, when my shallow mind though that I needed to indicate to others my next actions. Other than those, I wouldn't be bothered to put on those blinkers.
2. Overtaking from the left lane
- Now, this I wouldn't normally do on purpose. Today, it was because I was stucked in the middle lane, approaching a far slower car than mine, while on the right lane, crazy maniacs driving over the speed limit were zooming pass. So, I was left with the option of either slowing down and losing my momentum or go to the left, since it was clear. Well, I chose the latter, wouldn't you? Hhhmmm...
3. Changing channels on the radio
- Oh, this one I really plead guilty! I have this habit of changing the channels of the radio. Why? Simply because I cannot stand listening to advertisements or DJs talking too much too long over the radio! Or sometimes, certain songs. Goodness, you are suppose to play songs over the radio, not hog them with your 2cents worth, or your advertisers! It's dangerous, yes, because I tend to focus on the songs and radio and not on the driving, at least not fully. And today, they spoke too much, again.
4. Drinking
- This is a little tricky. It's good to keep ourselves well hydrated, especially when driving long distance. But sometimes, it can be very dangerous to drink while driving, even if it's plain water. Similar to channel changing, doing another activity makes us lose a little of our concentration on driving. This is especially so if your bottle is big and your are driving alone, like me. Well, open it up first and place it somewhere you can reach easily. Another way, stop and then drink. Else, don't drink, if you can.
5. Texting when driving
- Haha, undoubtedly, this is definitely not a thing to do when you are driving. Texting? Totally distracting! What do you think you have, 2 brains and four eyes?? Not even to The Goat! Sorry! Big mistake here, big selfish mistake of mine!
Only five today? Not bad! I noticed, the mother of all road-related evils, SPEEDING, was not on my list! Yeeehhhh!! Good work, girl. Another battle won. Keep it up, for the list must be shorten, consistently.
