Dear So and So...Road Rage...It Happens

Dear Person Biking on the B1112,

I do realize that in the UK bike riders are prohibited from biking on the footpaths (if there are footpaths), but your decision to ride down a busy road, at rush hour, and at dusk was truly a stupid decision. While I mean you no harm, don't be surprised if I am slowly creeping behind you and trying to hold in cuss words while you inch along and I try to find an opening to get around you. Oh and stopping on a bridge to fix the leg on your trousers, inexcusable.

Dear Dude on Motorcycle,

It is pretty bad when this is the conversation I have with my 3 year old when driving behind you..

Me-*frustrated and directed at you Mr. MotorcycleMan* Oh My GOODNESS! Could you possibly go any slower in the roundabout??? GAH!

KiKi (to me)- JUST GO!!!

Me- I can't!

KiKi(to MotorcycleMan)- GOOOOOO!

Yes, your driving was even annoying the 3 year old. Now, I know driving a motorcycle is dangerous, but you know what is also dangerous? Going waaaay below the speed limit and making really slow turns on a motorcycle. Move it or lose it buddy!

Drive it Like You Mean It!!, Kat

Dear Liz,

You stink! No, really, you smell bad. I think a bath is in order.

Love, Human Mama Kat

Kiki sounds just like the boy when we're stuck behind someone slow. It seems the kids have even less patience than us when driving!

I don't think I've got your thing-a-ma-jig figured out 'cuz I have to reenter my name, etc. each time I leave a comment whereas on others, it's there from memory.

I'm shocked the police didn't make the slow driver move over in the roundabout! From my memories, people always speeded up when entering one and flashed out at their exit like they were shot out of a cannon. Getting driving tips from a 3 year old is frustrating, with or without bicyclists and slow drivers!

Slow drivers; whether bike, motorcycle or car, drive me bonkers!! I guess I should have more patience; but really!! Is it that hard to go the speed limit at least????

I live with one of those drivers. Guess who. Makes me nuts. When we are together, I drive . People who ride bicycles on the wrong side of the road should be ticketed for going the wrong way. Of course, there is never a cop around. I would like to know when this practice came into being.

XOXO

I have to say it drives me nuts here in Chicago when cyclists ride on the pavement/sidewalk. I refuse to step aside for anyone doing that. They should be on the road with the other moving vehicles. As for people roller blading on the road, in front of your car, taking up so much with their side to side movements that you can't go round them. Grrr!

Dear people in my neighborhood,
The new roundabout is not an excuse to practice your swerving skills. YIELD to the drivers already within it!
Love,
The screamer in the minivan
