Courtesy on the Rodes

It has come to my attention that many people agreed with me on the last entry of the local traffic and those of us who don't use turn signals. It just makes sense. We all drive around this area like maniacs. Everyone is in a rush it seems.

So lets elaborate on the local traffic. Those of us who use our signals, seem to get cut off or not let it. While others simply just cut over across lanes or through traffic to get where they want with the use of signals and almost cause an accident. I think this is the driving style which many people here will agree with. If a person uses their signals, we should have the courtesy enough to let that person over. That person has at least shown us that they intend to move over so we should let them over.

I say if you use your signals, you show me that you want over, your not trying to cut me off, or driving with aggression. So I will let you over. With some common courtesy we make better drivers. People get to where they want to go, we avoid traffic accidents and everyone gets to where they want. We all win!

Social circle, I believe, plays a large role also in the way we drive. One might also agree that the higher the pay scale a person climbs, the more aggressive they become on the rode. As if they don't care if they wreck there expensive vehicles. While people may not be equal based on skill or intellect in a room, we are essentially all the same on the rode and subject to the same possible outcomes from driving. A 100,000 vehicle is subject to the same possible damage as a 20,000 one. While the more expensive vehicle may sustain less damage in a wreck, it can't avoid and accident based on price. That is until the industry develops a vehicle that drives itself.

Thanks to those who commented on my previous input, you have touched me to write my opinions again.
