Dangers on the Road
RECEIVED Thu., April 23, 2015
Dear Editor,
Did everybody forget how to drive? I don't care where you're from or how long you've lived here, my main concern is how you passed the driving test and acquired a driver's license! It is ridiculous out there, people. The number of times I personally am affected by sheer incompetence out on the Austin streets these days is staggering. My round-trip commute to and from work is a whopping 6.2 miles, and each way I encounter a minimum of 2 to 3 incidences of potentially lethal stupidity on the roads. Biking, busing, or carpooling is no better, as we are all at risk from these idiots who have no idea how to safely switch lanes or – heaven forbid! – slow the fuck down a fraction of a second. All you shitty drivers have no idea how terribly awful you are at operating a motor vehicle. I know I am not alone in this sentiment. When it comes to this topic, we officially FAIL.
