Why do drivers always seem to be in a rush? Or that they seem to be in a race with other cars? What's the hurry? Does everyone have to be somewhere urgent all the time? I drove myself to my teaching seminar this evening and being unfamiliar with the roads, I drove 5km below the speed limit. 5km... that's all.. it's not as if I was super slow or anything... but cars kept overtaking me. Then I thought, ok, maybe it is slow, so I sped up to the actual speed limit... but cars were STILL overtaking me. And it wasn't just one car... it was like the majority of them! They were all in such a rush! Maybe they just wanted to get home... but still... i doubt their home will disappear if they drove a little slower!

This is why I don't like driving... for all those drivers who speed or feel the need to take over every car (which is pointless coz there will always be cars in front of them), weaving in and out of lanes, running red lights just so they don't have to wait, horning others... why can't people be patient? Why do people have road rage? if people were just a little more understanding... everyone has their reasons. Maybe some people don't know the roads very well... or its a new car and they're just getting used to it... or maybe they genuinely just didn't see that the lights had turned green... or maybe some people are just scared of driving coz of all the crazy drivers out there.


So to all you crazy drivers... show a little understanding... take your time... there's no rush... better safe than sorry right?
