In the "Go Figure" category for today: why is it that people who have "Drive Safe" or "Baby on Board" stickers on their vehicles seem to be the worst bloody drivers on the road?
Trip across the top of the city this morning. Drive Safe sticker in middle lane of the otherwise empty highway (strike one). After a mile or so of this, a tractor-trailer is coming onto the highway via the on-ramp, followed by a line of cars. Drive Safe slows down to below the speed limit (strike two). The tractor-trailer moves into the empty space in the right-hand lane. Drive Safe slams on the brakes and stays right beside it. (Strike three. You're out.)
A few miles later, I come across Baby On Board. In the middle lane of the otherwise empty highway (strike one). There isn't any child actually in the vehicle (strike two). As I come up in the right-hand lane, Baby On Board decides it isn't safe to be anywhere near me, and moves into the completely unoccupied far left-hand lane. (Strike three. You and your baby, wherever it is, are out.)
