Death On Wheels

One thing I wanted to bitch about before I forget... people drive like complete assholes here

It's everywhere now. Tons of bad drivers here in Phoenix, everyone in a rush and usually 15+ over the posted limits on the surface streets. I learned long ago to be observant while driving. People think I drive aggressively, but it's that I drive confidently and defensively meaning I *will* protect myself from their actions. I know what I can do and what the car can do

[longbottle]

As do I. Which is why I don't care what comments people make about how I drive... I know what my car can do, and I anticipate and demand of it accordingly.

I wish I had that confidence... as things stand now, I think people around here don't give a shit if they're in an accident. The people in new cars know insurance will cover it (fucking no-fault) and the ones in older shitty cars will just take the whole vehicle for a loss. I have actually watched cars be rear-ended at traffic lights around here. I didn't even seen *that* level of assholery on Long Island.

I need to check Florida state laws... I'm very temped to do exactly that.

That's why I included that link in my last post. it's to FL gun laws at the NRA site.

Ah, I thought that for for AZ when I originally read it. Thanks!

I applaud you in your handling of this! It's beautiful to see a mindful driver stick up for themselves, especially when dealing with these absurd fucktards who somehow got a license.

So, you think I should keep the gun in the glovebox, or under the seat?

[aquachem]

That comment was a reply to Orcinus, LJ has a funny way of not aligning the reply threads sometime. :P I think in the glove box and holstered, if it be legal do it that way.

I should have known better than to think you'd have paid me a compliment. :P
