Driver 8 take a break

Stuff I actually say while driving:
"Dude, I don't like inconsistent people.  You either drive fast or you don't, motherfucker."

That could be a line in Fast and the Furious 8, Forever Furious.  Ridiculous.  If I liked hashtags I would probably have to file this under hashtag roadrage?

I am devising a reality show about driving.  It will help people with road rage, remind drivers the rules of the road and teach or reteach drivers the best way to operate their vehicle.  So reality clients would be bad drivers or those notorious for road rage.  Of course there would be minor cases mixed in.  Advisers will be impeccable drivers, former driving instructors and psychologists.  I think it would be good for the public in general to learn/relearn driver etiquette or at least to get a conversation going.

Since I'm randomly on the subject, I am also trying to work out little messages that drivers can impart to one another.  Because, sometimes you really are sorry.  I keep picturing a round head light style sign that says "Sorry" or "Excuse Me" that you can read when you push a button to light up the sign.  I guess that's the the 70s version. :)  I'm sure the better/more technologically advanced way would be for each car to basically talk to each other.  Maybe there would still be buttons inside the car that say "My fault" or "After you".

Might as well go for the fourfecta, my child LOVES cars.  He tries to carry all of his toy cars in his hands.  He makes an amazing car sound for his age (whatever that means).  My husband and I might watch Chasing Classic Cars or Counting Cars every once in awhile, but we are not gear heads.  Wheels are cool though, which seems to be why he's interested.  It's like he learns from Caveman up.  I hope fire is not next!  

Spin out on this:
