Dear morons trying to turn left,
There were four of you on my way home today. Everyone driving my route home was lucky not to be involved in a head on collision. The first one of you I encountered decided it would be fun to turn left from the lane next to the left turn lane. While a driver was in the left turn lane, turning left. You tried to turn into the left of the two lanes in the cross road and were dismayed to find a car there. Swerving occurred and then we all went on our merry way. I sped past you, worried you might change lanes with no notice and run me off the road.
The next two idiots had separate cars, but were making the same bad choice. The road we were driving on was four lanes, two heading in each direction. You two were driving east while I was driving west. Then you both decided to turn left, a common decision for the night. Unfortunately, you picked the left lane on my side of the road, mistaking it for a middle turn lane. It’s not. It was actually one of the two oncoming traffic lanes. Oncoming as in head on. It is not a left turn lane. There is a left turn lane in the general area, and I can see the second moron blindly following the first, but you are both still idiots. We all had to get in the right lane and drive around you. The people who wanted to use the left turn lane got to make a sharp turn into the actual left turn lane after passing you jackasses.
The fourth person making a big fail out of a left turn might have been the best. By this time I was driving on a four lane one way road. One block south is a four lane road going in the opposite direction. The neighborhood roads connecting the two are not one way roads. You were in the wrong lane, it seems to be happening a lot today. I’ve been driving before and realized the I’m about to pass the road I wanted to turn down. I try to get over and failing that, go up a block or so and loop around. This is because I have a brain in my head and I like to use it from time to time. You are different. You had to get over two lanes to turn properly. Since you didn’t have time to do this you came to a stop. At 6:20 while people are trying to get home. So yes, we were speeding a bit and going between 35 and 45 mph. And you were stopped. After enough people had passed those unfortunate enough to be stuck directly behind you, you turned left. Across three lanes of traffic. Goddamn drivers.
My husband drives 90 minutes to work and even he thinks my 25 minute drive is horrible.
Sincerely,
Kelly
