Lilred's Rant of the Week..Give em a brake

[Ol` Joe]

It`s not just the hair fixin` that slows `em down and has their attention. If you were a little higher up ( a Peterbuilt maybe)you`d have seen a "Big Gulp" drink in her lap a Wendys salad in her other hand and noticed she was talking to her girl friend on a "hands free" phone. I once saw a nut case with the morning paper spread over the dashboard reading, at 5;30 am, had the dome light on running 75mph on the freeway taking two lanes. She likely bought the SUV because somewhere she read they were "safer" then a normal sized vehical in a accident. Of course avoiding that accident wasn`t mentioned. Then there`s always the guy that runs 70 mph in 18" of snow on top of a freezing rain and knows he`s safe cause he`s got 4 wheel drive, anti loc breaks and a hemi under the hood. Give him a beer and he`ll run 85.
The companies are playing right along with this BS. Why do we need a DVD player in a car? How do you play "games" on the built in play station while driving? Dash mounted GPS? Pay attention to your driving and you`ll know where you are. Then there`s the rear view cameras and alarms for those that can`t back the big things up with out running spot or the kids bike over. Half these people need sensors on their wheels to tell them thay have a flat.
I commute 50+ mi both ways daily and this bull really raises my short hairs just thinking about it!!
Now , then again,maybe it`s just natural selection in action and we don`t reconize it...
