OT: temporary fan belt repair

Even voice calls while driving are dangerous as hell.

Yup, and hands-free devices don't mitigate the danger. It's the conversation that takes the driver's concentration away.

Time and place for everything. On a minimal traffic road in good weather, the typical "what's for dinner" call is not a big deal. Rush hour on the fast moving expressway is not a good time to make a tech support call giving step by step directions to defuse a bomb.

I see too many people, even in perfect conditions, yakking away, totally oblivious to everything around them, even crossing pavement lines and doing other incredibly dangerous things.

What's with the lack of turn signals anymore? I thought it was just the poor drivers in this area but on the recent vacation, it seems to be everywhere.

Doesn't that piss you off? People slow down and you have no idea what they are going to do, if anything.

Next are the idiots that don't turn on the headlight in bad weather. You can barely see the idiot coming at you in heavy rain or at dusk.

It *really* pisses of SWMBO. She then...

At least I can understand how that happens (been there a couple of times). I cannot understand the failure to use the turn signals. They should be automatic.

Daylights help for that - but you still can't see the blooming idiots from behind. Intelligent people who can't figure out that if they can't read their speedometer, people can't see their behinds either - - - - -
