I don't know... maybe b/c its "winter" in Bend and there are more "snow birds" but driving seems to be getting crazier and crazier!! People piss me off!

1st. Turn signals. Don't use them half a second before changing lanes or turning and cut people off. Its RUDE & annoying and causes ppl to slam on their brakes and its frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're just ASKING to get rearended.

2nd. Trust me, getting rearended is not fun. This dumbass was on his cell phone and wasn't "paying attention" (understatement of the YEAR) and he slammed into our mini van. We were sitting at a red light for over a minute along with a bunch of other cars, not paying attention? he shouldn't have been behind the wheel.

3rd. So you're on the parkway (highway97). There's a lot of cars. Start getting over early b/c when you're two inches from your exit and you're in the furthest lane, its not good to be cutting off other cars just to go over the solid line to get to your exit. If you miss your exit, don't try to cut ppl off and go very last second...just go to the next exit, it takes about two minutes away from you getting to your destination... and its your own dumb fault for missing it.

4th and last... some ppl, believe it or not, have kids in the car. Sorry, I don't want my munchkins having whiplash or worse, landing on the pavement b/c your dumbass wants to be a moron and not drive right or cut me off and whatever.

Seriously though, while stupid drivers do piss me off... its getting frustrating. please be careful, nobody wants you or anyone else to die just a couple weeks before Christmas.
