[Read my last post as well. Even more weird things are happening.]
...because all the morons are out driving.
This morning I'm driving to class and everything is fine. It was a wonderful day. I even went for an hour drive between classes today just because I was in the mood. I turned on my radio and drove until I got lost. I wanted to explore, and what better way than to take random roads for an hour until your so lost you end up where you started. (That actually happened. I have no idea how. I took random roads for an hour and just ended up back at school.) A great relaxing day.
My night film class came along and we watched Pennies From Heaven (1981), it was a wonderful movie. So my class ends and it's around 7:00pm, it's pretty dark out already. I had a weird feeling though. The day was so bright and relaxing, the night was cloudy and depressing.
So I'm driving home and this old HAG infront of me is going 25MPH on the 50MPH road home. I can't pass her because it's one lane. There is a huge row of cars beind me and this lady infront of me is riding her break. This was already not a relaxing drive. So we get to an intersection and I want to take a right turn, apparently so does she. The lights are GREEN and this lady comes to a complete STOP at the YIELD sign.
Okay, so we have a green light, everyone else has red lights. There isn't a single person infront of us. She stops. I have to hit the breaks because I didn't expect this lady to be so stupid. She pulls up about 3 feet. STOP....3 more feet...STOP. She keeps crawling up to the road. I am about to go Postal on this lady. Eventually she gets on the road and I pass her first chance I get.
So I get up to speed and after a while I need to take another turn. I get to my road and put on my blinker, I am about to turn when all of a sudden I have to quickly move out of the way of another car. Why? It was night time. We all know that night time is DARK. As a matter of fact, it's very dark. This person didn't have their light on. To make it worse they were driving some old black car...did I mention at night? What the hell is wrong with people? No lights?! Was he asking to be hit? I thought it was weird that my lights didn't even reflect in his. It was weird. I couldn't see this car till the very last second.
So I get home and relax for a bit. I tell my dad the story and he says 'Must be a full moon'. I look outside. The moon looked like a delicious full moon-pie. The moon isn't technically full until Saturday, but it still looked full tonight. At about 9:00 pm I pick up this girl Alicia down the street from me. We were going to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail at our local Cinema (College Nights. They play old movies for $2 a ticket). We get to the theater and we find out the movie didn't come in yet, they are showing Pulp Fiction. They told us we could see Pulp Fiction tonight and come back tommorow and see The Holy Grail for free. Awesome. Tonight wasn't so bad after all. The movie ends we get in the car, I bring her home. On the way home we talk about how we have yet to be in an accident in our cars.
Then I have to bring another friend of mine home, Corey. So we're driving along and we are getting close to a new bar that just opened a few weeks ago. I am going 40MPH on this road (The speed limit) and there is a car in the bars parking lot that has his blinker on. That isn't a big deal. I mean people drive on roads all the time. People turn out of parking lots all the time. Right? Wrong. I am a few yards away from this guys car and he pulls out RIGHT infront of me. It took me a second to react. I don't think my mind could comprehend that this drunken douchehat just pulled straight into the road not even half a car length infront of me. I SLAM THE EVER LIVING PB & J OUT OF MY BREAKS! I miss the car by inches, centimeters, nanometers...atoms. If I hit my breaks a half a second later, this guy would have had to explain to the passengers parents why they were dead. I would have slammed right into the side of his car going 40MPH. That's how close this guy pulled out. He wasn't even straight on the road yet. He was just straight into my lane.
What a night.

In road transport, a yield (United States and Republic of Ireland) or give way (United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries) traffic sign indicates that a driver of a vehicle must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary (usually while merging into traffic on another road) but does not need to stop if there is no reason to.

Think while it's still legal.
