4) On freeways (this one really has my eyes rolling), you see traffic has come to a stop ahead of you and these really “smart” people actually pick up speed when in fact they should start braking to come to that complete stop that everyone has obviously come to ahead of them (hmmm, these people may want to rethink their game plan). I’ve seen one too many cars go into the “oh my gosh! I now can’t control my car because I didn’t make the wise decision to actually stop when everyone else did!” swerve. Yep, and they’re always the ones in the lane next to me. Thank God for his protection because without him we’d all be flying around because of those wise bleepity-bleeps making up their own rules (learn the scientific basics, people!).
5) Honking … a lot. They seem to think it’s an entertaining way to pass the time?
I’m sure there are many more precious acts these people share with the rest of society out on the road, but I think we’ll stop here for sanity’s sake.
To be fair, even those of us who consider ourselves careful drivers are not always perfect when behind the wheel. Impatience can creep in, as can anger. But one thing that separates us from these inconsiderate (okay, I’m putting it mildly now) drivers is the fact that we’re not out to kill anyone. Some might say I’m going overboard with that statement. I don’t think so. To me the car is not only a vehicle to get from point A to point B, but when used recklessly, it is a weapon.
Driving isn’t like it is in the cartoons where a character crashes into something at full speed then bounces back as if hitting a marshmallow object. No. Real-life crashes are a lot less pleasant. I’m sure I don’t have to spell it out for you.
Now that we’ve got the 411 on what’s going on in some of those challenging roads, let’s take a look at some wise advice that the Bible (yes, even the Bible—which existed long before automobiles) teaches us in handling ourselves that can guide and help us in every aspect of our lives.
