What is Up with Driving?

What is up with drivers these days? Everywhere I go, people stop in the middle of the roadway to let others go. Why? Are they being nice, or do they want to cause an accident?

Most of the police officers that I speak with tell me that stopping to let others go is a leading cause of accidents. Yet, people do it all of the time. It is one thing if traffic is snarled and there is nowhere to go, and it is another thing when you stop a traffic flow to let someone turn into your lane. 

Why are we trying to be nice to someone by ignoring the people behind us? It makes no sense. Everyone knows they have to wait for a stop sign. Should we feel bad for them following the rules of the road? Is this like baseball, where unwritten rules govern and ruin the game? Or is this a group of drivers who want to rewrite how to drive by making it logical to stop in the middle of the road and potentially cause accidents to those behind them? 

Keep driving. The other drivers will eventually get to where they need to go, and the drivers behind you will be safer.

Just Be Better

Stay Strong, Stay Healthy.
