Dear Young Lady Driver,

I am not usually surprised by the things I see.  In this day and age things just don’t come as a surprise to me anymore.  I’m used to seeing the stranger things.  However, what I saw you do yesterday completely shocked me and honestly appalled me!

First, I need to say I am a good driver.  I usually obey the speed limit.  I do not put mascara on when I drive.  I give my signal in plenty of time. And, I do not follow too close!  I, like the many other people in the world, can not afford any kind of traffic ticket.  So, I obey the rules.

My Grandmama gave me some amazing advice.  “Watch the other feller.”   I always follow her advice.  It’s a good thing since you obviously were not following her rule of driving.  You in your Hummer were doing the unthinkable.  TEXTING!  Yes you were!  I pulled into the lane beside you so I could take the next exit.  You were driving way too fast and using no hands!  I did a double take.  You were holding your phone with both hands.  Your thumbs were going crazy.  Texting!  Do you not realize what kind of danger you put yourself and others in.  Suppose I had swerved toward you…. you would never have seen it!  You were too busy probably gossipping about the color Suzy Q wore to the mall.  I just don’t understand. 

I want to leave you with a piece of advice.  Not everyone is “watching the other feller.”  So, put away the phone and pay attention!  I’d sure hate to see the other feller watch you go in the ditch!

 

Thank you.

Dani

 

Now, to the man I saw this morning.  I won’t even write you a letter.  I feel that your complete ignorance would not even understand a letter.  Do not drive with your dog in your lap.  Do not let said dog put his/her front paws on the steering wheel while you drive 70 down the highway.  Thank you.

Next,  to all my thousands hundred three readers my Grandmama was smart.  The other feller needs to be watched. 

That’s all.  I’m off the podium now.
