ID10T Drivers

[Modoc]

I’m not sure what has happened in the last two years, but a LOT of drivers have turned into idiots. Working for a DOT and former Fire Fighter/EMT, I have seen a lot, but recently things have really gone down hill. 
 

We just had the second major snow storm of the year and Drivers are still trying to drive like it is a dry summer day. Cars and big rigs stuck, spun out or flat out crashed everywhere. 
 

what happened to being prepared for changing conditions and driving for the conditions?

 

I do realize that California conditions are way different than the Mid-West or North East, but Really?  What happened to following distances and anticipating what the other drivers around you MAY do?

ID10T = Anyone driving faster than you.

 

M0R0N = Anyone driving slower than you.

 

IMBEC1LE = Anyone changing lanes more often than you.

 

NITW1T = Anyone that won't get out of your lane.

 

TW1T = Anyone who uses their turn signals.

 

D0RK = Anyone who doesn't use their turn signals.

 

Sadly Californiastan has a full compliment of all of the above.

Tailgating has become more prevalent in the last couple years. Usually I can look in my mirrors and see them staring at their phone, and they're so close I can almost see what they're looking at in the reflection in their glasses.

So true. I think a lot of it is all the new widgets that make driving "safer".
