Walking and chewing gum

I was on my way to work yesterday when I realized that I was only driving 20 miles per hour. The speed limit was 45. Frustrated, I looked for the cause of the slow pace. The car two ahead of me was setting this lightning velocity. I moved into the left hand lane... only to be cut off by the same car. Thankfully, the driver, an attractive blonde, continued into the left turn lane and I past her.
This was when I noticed it... not that she was an attractive blonde, but that she was going so slowly because she was on the phone!
I realize that I could take many different paths here. Such as:

1. Female drivers. I have found, however, that most female drivers are better than most male drivers.

2. Blondes. I have yet to meet a majority that make the stereotype true. I have met some that fit it, though.

3. The ability to multi-task. This one I will take.

I you cannot do several things at once, don't try. Practice where you won't impede or endanger other people until you can do the several things at once that you want to do. In this case, I doubt she even knew how slow she was going. She had been driving at that speed for quite a distance before I tried to get around her, so it's not like I'm jumping to any conclusion out of hand, here. Her action (her speed) was a sign that she was not paying attention. I am thankful that the result of this is only my frustration with her and not something more serious... or even fatal. Was her phone call THAT important? I honestly don't know. In all probability, it was not.
But what I DO know is that it endangered everyone on that road. She should be paying attention to what she is doing, as she is driving around in a 2 ton death machine if mistakes are made.

Hang up and drive. I love that bumper sticker. I will pull over to talk on the phone if I am not able to concentrate on my driving. I have done it many times.

On a slightly related topic, if you don't know how to drive an SUV, don't own one! They aren't as manuverable as little cars. You can't park in those tiny spaces and you will need more room to move than a Honda would. Learn to drive an SUV if you have one!
