Driving has got to be one of the most stressful parts of my day. I hate traffic. It makes me dislike people. But that's not the point of this. I'm curious what rules of the road you break. We're all guilty of them. You'd be surprised what people do when they think no one is watching.

Turn Signals

I’m usually an abuser of turn signals. Even at night when the streets are empty and no one is in front or behind me I still use my turn signal. However, lately I’ve been known to ditch the signal all together. Gasp! I know! Write me up!

Some people think it's funny to run over safety cones

I don’t think this is funny at all. I mean, you could have just killed the “Tuesday Afternoon Safety Cone Play Date” you see here. Not cool.

Oh yeah, I’m a sh*tty driver. I run through the idea of hitting pedestrians with my car for fun on a daily basis. Just a tap…
