Ten Thoughts about Driving
Many of us spend a lot of time driving. Here are a few thoughts.
1- Find another way to show how bad you are. This is mostly a masculinity thing, but it just might apply to a few ladies.
Driving hard and fast is the easy way to prove your toughness. All you do is push the gas pedal. You don’t have to go to the gym, have lots of sex, or go into battle. Just drive fast, and with no concern for your neighbor.
2- Slow down. There is no need to go so fast. When you go somewhere, allow yourself enough time to get there. The faster you drive, the less reaction time you have in an emergency.
3- Stay far enough behind the car ahead of you to stop in an emergency. This will be less stressful for the person in front of you.
4- Pay attention to the road. This is where the cell phones become a problem. You should be focused on the road ahead of you, and not what your phone mate is telling you. Your minutes will be just as good when you get to your destination.
5- The three rules of the workplace apply here….show up, stay awake, and don’t kill anyone.
6- Keep your car in good condition. The tires and brakes are key items, but also keep the engine running smoothly.
7- Keep your temper. Driving while angry is a cause of many accidents, especially when combined with alcohol.
8- At the risk of saying the unthinkable, I don’t think a bit of alcohol is that terrible. Of course, when you drink your judgment of how high you are is distorted, so it is tough to tell when too much is too much. The law takes a much sterner view of this.
9- Use your turn signals.
10- Show concern for the well being of your neighbor. Use common sense.

You make ten very good points – I particularly like the ‘show up, stay awake, and don’t kill anyone.’!
The only thing I’d like to add is be kind and use your imagination (the guy in the car in front might be having a heart attack/driving a new born baby/…) so give the other car some space.
