Whirlwind, every time we drive into the city it scares me to death. I know exactly what you are talking about with those city drivers!!!! Sometimes I find it difficult to believe that I was once one of them for a short few years in my life.
They race around, stopping for nothing, cutting people off, following too closely, etc. My husband and I moved near a big city a little over 3 years ago because he needed a job. We have stayed living in neighboring towns about 20 miles out from the outer rim of the city. After moving back, our second year here we were in a total of 4 accidents (and several near misses) -- none of them our fault!
That was when I developed this fear of city drivers. These accidents were things like: once we were in a wagon train of cars going 20 mph down a main street in the middle of town, when a driver coming the other direction decided he was hungry and wanted BBQ on our side of the road, so he made a left turn in front of us and of course we t-boned his car. Or another time we were driving past wal-mart on the road, and some idiot decided not to stop as he was exiting the parking lot, and he plowed right into the side of our car, and then took off. How could he not see us when we were right in front of him?!?! I don't trust anyone's driving around here. There was a case on the news the other night where a man was convicted because he bent over while driving to pick something up, and he ran over a woman pushing a stroller, killing the woman..... and he took off and went home not even realizing he had hit a person.
