Forcing motorists to drive the right way.....

So I lived in Boston for a long time - and driving in Boston requires a certain ability to navigate tight spaces, traffic that won't grant you a pass, and the need to know how to parallel park.

Upon moving back to MI, I have been disappointed by the fact that the Michigan population has somehow lost their ability to drive.

If I had better insurance, I would use the Kathy Bates/Insurance line from "Fried Green Tomatoes."

TOWANDA!!!!

That said, I will do my best to use my car horn and my evil look to combat:

• Not signalling when you decide to merge into my lane.
• Driving 40MPH in a 45MPH zone - in the left lane.
• Drifting over the lane markers as you text your girl/boy friend.
• Staying in the left lane for miles (under the speed limit BTW) until you make a radical shift (without blinker) to the far right lane.
• Slowing down to 0 MPH to go over train tracks.
• Parking your mega-SUV across parking spots simply because you can't aim straight.
• Knowing how to dodge pedestrians - and when they are in the right and when you are (as a driver).

Might seem irrelevant on this blog - but NerdGirls know how to drive. :)
