i really can't stand it when men drive recklessly to show off to the women beside them. it's bad enough when they try to cut into your lane suddenly or tailgate you no matter how fast you drive, but it's never acceptable when they try to knock down your mother.

was at junction 8 yesterday afternoon for my family's weekly grocery shopping, and all was well until we were on our way back to the car. now for those not familiar with the j8 carpark, you have to turn left as you go down the slope into the second basement. you can go straight, but like i said it's against the direction of traffic and is meant for cars to make another round should they be unable to find any lots. so what happened was that my dad was ahead of my mom and me, pushing the trolley, and i think this crazy idiot must have seen him and decided to show off his ability at getting a parking lot so he stepped on the accelerator and hurtled down the slope and entered the lane against the direction of traffic. obviously my mom and i were looking out for traffic in the correct direction and it was only at the last minute that we noticed him. my mom had already stepped onto the road by then and it was by divine intervention that she hadn't taken two steps more.

the idiot drew up in front of my car, and proceeded to surprise and block all the other cars who were turning into the lane. so he stopped there and i took my time to unload the groceries, only to be sickened by the sight of his girlfriend drapping herself over him, and he sitting there with a silly grin, looking as if he had achieved something great. it took so much effort not to go up and scream at or punch him. to have lost a loved one to an rta is enough; i do not want to lose another one. there was a car preparing to go up the ramp when the idiot was coming down it and i saw the shock and horror on the driver's face.

he probably is free from painful experiences, but you do not need one to be a careful driver. would he learn? when would those who treat driving like an arcade game ever learn? when they end up in the emergency department? i certainly hope not.
