road rage

i have a question? why do some people find it necessary to take their hands off their handlebars or steering wheels, turn their heads away from the road and pray as they pass a temple or a church. why?

don't get me wrong, i'm not against praying or showing respect to the holy place. but in the middle off the road in peak traffic. sometimes as they are cutting other people off! i dont get it. are you praying for ypur life, that god might spare your stupid soul as you needlessly put yourself and others at risk. BAH!

that leads me to another issue. women on two wheelers. not bikes but the kind that has all its weight at the back. this doesnt pertain to all women who drive or ride because i know some who handle a vehicle and traffic better than men. but in general, they women don't seem to get the idea of driving in a straight line. watch for it next time. she'll start off on the left or right and then drift into the centre of the road before drifting back. all that at full clip. try driving behind that.

the same women for some wierd reason also sit on the edge of the seat, using their mammaries as substitues for headlights. again why? the further forward you place your shapely posterior,the more unbalanced the damn thing gets.

another grouse. this time against dumb motherf**kers who drive SUV's like they are autorickshaws. for gods sake, when you weave, just remember how big your vehicle is! the scariest thing on the road, after cyclists, buses and lorries is probably a fool with an SUV.

last bu t not the least, who can forget the tortoise. the guy who drives at 20kmph, in the middle of the road. dont hog the road. move or get the fuck out of the way....

note: all the above are only generalisations and meant to offend the people who fall into each category.
