I think most would agree Minnesota drivers are the pits. Red lights = accellerate at all costs; green lights, you break out a lunch. I've noticed most can't seem to do two things at once i.e. talk on the phone and continue to accellerate and at least attempt to stay in their lane. I thought speaker phones were relatively mandatory w/relation to car phones, but I might be mistaken. Is there an increased insurance rate for car phones? Wasn't there higher rates for smoking drivers at one time? The rationale being that the smoking driver would be lighting a cigarette or dousing one, or fanning their flaming trousers, and therefore the risk of an accident was greater? I loved the letter from a Star Tribune reader that suggested giving cell phone users the sane lane... As far as everyone seeming to be in a hurry, it's rather self-important - they're such an integral part of where they're going they feel totally justified in risking my life and theirs to get there. I once made a bumper sticker that said:
Tube of mascara - $8.95 Cost of removing applicator wand from eye socket should the driver in front of you hit the brakes suddenly - $10,895.00 Of course that's just an estimate.
