yea, I called them stupid because of what they are doing on the road. They keep on changing lanes without using signal. Last day, we almost hit another car on the road. We were on the left lane and there were 2 cars beside us in the right lane. The car in front had an instant pull over so the other one following him swerve to the left lane and he pass in front of us.. my goodness!! then because we are in the interstate, we drove 65-70mph.. and you know what happened when you swerve in that speed? so, the other car that swerve, have a zigzag movement.. and he was hit by another car.. good that my hubby was paying attention to his driving and he was able to manage to avoid them..hay!! My hubby was upset and I am upset too with those kind of drivers.. I don't why happen why he just pull over in the interstate? That is the main reason why i am scared to drive..
I just wonder how many of you have seen these drivers who are doing this in the interstate? or in the super highway? It is very annoying to see these people.

i am very unhappy to have heard that.. i can imagine how innocent people get into accident just because there are those kinds of people who are reckless and are disobedient of the traffic rules. there are drivers who would not keep distant and thera re those who loves over speeding so much.. why cant they just slow dwon and follow traffic rules instead than involve other people in their reckless behaviors!:(

yeah, good if it's only him who will get into trouble and suffer the consequences of his actions.. but most often than not, there are other innocent people who get involved because of their recklessness... let's just pray for guidance whenever we are n the road, and pray that the person who is driving keeps his focus on the road too..:)

Right!!! I am also wondering why these people are very abusive. yes, there are many who are over speeding. I wonder where are the cops? Why they can not caught these reckless drivers? They are putting people's lives in danger. Good if he is the only one who will suffer?

I see this everyday coming home from work.Especially at 2:00am how much of a rush does one have to be in.I was almost hit last week.When a car had to speed past me to get in front.And what ended up happening was the guy hit a deer.I felt sorry for the deer but not the guy.I'm sorry that you are afraid to drive.Maybe one day you will get over your fear.Thank goodness that your husband was paying attention.

Yes, that Lord is good!!!yes, every day, people are rushing... it was about 6;30pm when that happened. You know what? even how careful we are if the other drivers are reckless, things like this happened. Yup, I'm scared to drive.. hahaha.. I have learner's permit but I am not driving on the road yet. I just have few times practice. Well, I know how to drive but just scared to be in the busy street. I can manage if there are only very few cars like in the country road.. i like that.

Its good to know that your husband is a good driver and was able to keep you all from getting hit also. Yeah, I see those kinds of drivers all the time, we live in a small town out in the country, so I don't have to drive on the interstate that often, but sometimes I have to go into the city and I sure hate having to drive there, on the interstate the traffic is just so fast and it seems like everyone is in a hurry, you have to drive just as fast as they do or you'll get run over, I dread having to do it, but nobody else will drive for me so I have to. If my husband and I go there I always try to make him drive, because it makes me nervous. It is annoying seeing these people drive that way.

hahaha!!! that's me? I am afraid to drive thinking of those crazy driver out there. We are also living in a small town but we have to pass the interstate when we go to church or to the place where my hubby works. I like it when we are only in our place because only few cars and is not that scary... but in the interstate? yes, you are right as if everyone is in a hurry!! and they keep on switching lanes without signal.

Where we are at these dorks race down the highway in their crappy little rice rockets, they sound like red lining weed eaters. Where's a cop when you need one?

My goodness! It's good your hubby is a good driver! Oh I can't imagine what could have happended if not for the good presence of mind of your hubby. Many times road accidents happen because of irresponsible drivers. Hay, thank God you are safe!
Oh yes drivers like that are stupid! We call them "Sawa" drivers here! Why because they are moving their vehicles move like "sawa"! I hate them. Indeed they are stupids I agree with you. Just be careful when you meet them on the road. It pays to pray before any travel. Indeed so many drivers are stupid but God has ways of protecting us from them.

You are very good my friend. PRAYER....That's what we need every time we steer the wheels of our car. You know what? I am always upset looking at those drivers who are reckless. They drive too fast, well, anyway, we have speed limit to follow here when we are in the interstate.. it's about65-70 mph or in our place there, it is 120kmph or more. wow!! you can just imagine how fast is that? and then someone will just have a sudden stop in front of you? well, if you try to avoid hitting him, that's what it is.. very hard to control the vehicle with that speed and you are not the only one running on the road with the same speed? my goodness!!! the other driver was trying to avoid hitting the other car that is why he went like "sawa"just to regain his proper direction and with his speed. It makes me nervous seeing the two cars in front of us. Good hubby was able to avoid them and find our way out.

some people are bad drivers that is for sure. We got rear ended the other day by someone not paying attention. Luckily it was a a really low speed and there was no damage or injuries but it was just plain stupidity. I think people get drivers licenses far too easy these days.
