I hate to drive
People get on your butt
They get in a rut
When they want you to speed up
And you don't speed up

Some people pull right in front of you
They do it without a care
I get so scared
I almost drop a load
That I shouldn't have shared

They don't use their turn signal
They are so stupid
There are too many crazy people on the road today

Cold hands means a warm heart

You must drive in Florida, home of the ever-blinking turn signal!

I believe in turn signals-after all faith is in things not seen. This is a good poem and I so agree with everything you say.

You should have to drive in Toronto, Canada!!!  They issue driver's licenses in Cracker-Jack boxes here, apparently, because it's rare to find someone who knows how to operate a turn signal, or to look before changing lanes.  The Don Valley Parkway should be renamed the DV Parking Lot, and the Gardiner Expressway is anything but that!!!

Cute poem - hope you had some TP.

On I-94, in Michigan...between Detroit and Chicago, there are a lot of semi trucks who think they own the road...and when they want to change lanes, they just do it right away.
Sometimes, they put their turn signals on, but even when they do...they immediately move into the other lane.
I almost got killed by one of those guys yesterday.  I don't even think he saw my car in the rearview mirror....more likely...he never bothered to look.

Cute poem, Julie...
