These Crazy Roadways

Whether you're enclosed in a big ole' SUV or in a tiny compact, the roadways can be and are a very dangerous place to be. With city populations growing rapidly and people constantly moving to new and unfamiliar areas, today's roadways are more insane than ever. Here are some examples of automobile craziness I saw just within the last 48 hours:

What Happened:

Car wants to turn left at a light. Car on other side of the road wants to turn right. Both cars have a green. Car turning left doesn't yield to car turning right. KA KRUNCH! Both cars meet in the middle.

What Should Have Happened:

Car turning left should have yielded to the car turning right.

What Happened:

Car is attempting to merge onto the freeway going 50 mph and almost gets run under by a semi. 

What Should Have Happened:

As we all know merging onto the freeway can tricky, however, if one using the entrance on the freeway to get up to freeway speeds, than merging onto the freeway should be a problem. Freeway entrances aren't for cruising, they are for getting your car up to speed. 

What Happened:

Two cars stopped virtually at the same time at a four-way stop sign. Both cars sit for a moment. Both drivers stare at each other. One driver motions to the other driver to go. The other driver kind of starts going. The motioning drivers grows impatient and decides to go. Both drivers are now heading to the middle of the intersection. Both drivers stop and eventually figure out this lame mess. 

What Should Have Happened:

If you stop at a stop sign at the same time as another driver, the driver to your right has the right of way. 

Be careful out there folks!
