Notes About The Poem

For the Traffic Safety Poetry Contest of Miranda Hawley

___________________________________________________________________________

Drivers Who Give No Warnings

In traffic they go zooming in and out
not even indicating it at all.
When they make a lane change, 
I Just want to shout,
“Just use your turn signal, you jerk.
One day you’ll hit somebody or a wall!”

The turn signal is such a basic thing and I wish many more would use it. Congrats on your win in my contest.

Since my fall in the bathroom and three hospitalisations, I have not been allowed to drive. Good thing in a way. Drivers are reckless these days. I hear of accidents every day. Best for a win.

Selfish drivers, over here they're known as road hogs. Tom

What was crazy on the news was cars going around a child in the street. Not one stopping so someone could safely retrieve the child. Ended up okay but people amaze me!!

Andrea I live in Upstate NY I thought we were bad until I traveled to Ohio. Oh MY! They are much much worse drivers than New Yorkers. You always wonder how they qualified for their Drivers license. I have a class A license and we have to go through rigorous training , these offenders should too if they get caught...

Some just don't want to use their bulbs. Hate when I'm behind them at the lights and then they decide to turn right. ugggh.
