I've seen so many people with "WWJD?" stickers do stupid things, I've actually followed one or two until they parked and left the vehicle. I then took my sharpie out and edited their sticker.

It was "WWJD?"

It is now "WWJD? HE'D SIGNAL!!!"

He'd have his license revoked if he got caught driving like some of these folks do!

How about signaling for lane changes? When did it become acceptable to just do whatever the hell you want in a car without letting anyone else know so they can avoid an accident?

Barring emergencies I always signal when I want to change lanes, but I am definitely in the minority in doing so. My going hypothesis is that people have learned that around here, signaling to change is (more often than not) taken as a sign for the guy in the next lane over to speed up and block off all entry. Thus, it's simpler to just dive for the space and not let anyone know until you come caroming sideways at them at freeway speeds. This gets particularly interesting when the normal rate of traffic is at least 5 miles over the limit (and quite frequently 10 or more, the farther left you go), unless you're a mack truck.

I've probably picked up horribly unsafe aggressive driving habits living where I do, but it's that or get mowed down by the sea of single-passenger SUVs. . .

I do recall the bible saying to follow the laws of man unless it conflicts with biblical law, wish I could remember where, I won't bother looking it up for such a trivial (but fun) subject. But I do see a lot of people with fish on there cars and like everyone else, they're speeding. I'm not saying they're bad christians or any nonsense like that, but it does seem a bit hypocritical, granted it's a minor infraction.

Maybe christians should all use the right lanes for highway travel? Just a joke, no offense intended.
