Driving Tips

This started out as an angry tirade, but I needed to reframe it to season it with grace.

  • First, when it is raining and/or twilight PLEASE turn your lights on! Even though you may be able to see the road ahead, that does not mean that other drivers can see you!
  • Secondly, PLEASE use your turn signal! It's that little lever on the left side of your steering wheel that causes a little blinking light to come on in the direction you intend to turn. It's a marvelous little devise. Please use it.
  • Thirdly, why on earth are there intersections in Delaware where two lanes form, one which turns right and one for drivers turning left or going straight? That doesn't make any sense! If you are going to have two lanes, have one for people turning left and the other for people turning right or going straight. That way traffic doesn't get backed up for the person turning left and/or impatient people don't swerve into the lane for drivers turning right only and nearly cause an accident.

    Thank you and have a nice day.

I LOVED the tirade you originally put up! So sad that it is gone now. I do totally echo your sentiments on the people who drive in the rain with out their lights on. HUGH pet peeve.

I totally agree with you that DE intersections make no sense. Look at Marsh and Harvey for a PERFECT example.

But hey, at least they're not those Jersey Circles *shakes fist in the general direction of New Jersey*
