		<description>Yes, but they use a stylus - the Storm&#039;s interface and features look almost exactly like the iPhone, yet here they&#039;re advertising it like it&#039;s something very new. I notice I don&#039;t see this particular ad any more - they now are careful to say its the first touch-screen &lt;em&gt;Blackberry&lt;/em&gt;, to make it a more accurate statement.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s scary how unprepared the &#039;average&#039; driver is out there on our roads.  The fact that driver education across the country is not required or a weak watered-down version is all that&#039;s needed is a sad statement on our society as a whole.

		<description>This sign&#039;s also particularly amusing due to its proximity to &quot;the cows.&quot;  Anyone who&#039;s driven by Coalinga on Highway 5 in California (more specifically, the Harris Ranch area about an exit or so north) will know &quot;the moos&quot; -- it&#039;s an area that&#039;s approximately a mile to mile-and-a-half *square* of moo-moos (N36° 18&#039; 23.58&quot;, W120° 16&#039; 13.26&quot;).

Suffice to say that on a hot summer day with any mild breeze... just pray that you&#039;re not down-wind or, if you are, the A/C&#039;s been set on recirculate for a few miles prior.  If it&#039;s not... you WILL know... you may not see them in the dead of night, but you WILL know they are there...</description>

		<description>Another particularly annoying driving trait... people that will speed up from behind you to cut in front of you, then slam on the brakes to make the next right turn -- when it&#039;d be just-as-easy (and not to mention a whole lot safer) to just turn in or stay behind you and make their right.  We see it more in Michigan than in California, I think (particularly with people behind the Jeep when it&#039;s throwing snow or slush).  Though, for the life of me, with the 35 inch tires, the lift, and the rather menacing bumper, tow hooks and winch... I really don&#039;t understand how they&#039;d think that cutting us off would be such a wise idea.</description>

		<description>What I don&#039;t get are people speeding on streets cutting cars off acting like an idiot on the road without signaling only to see them turn into the McDonald&#039;s driveway.</description>

		<description>Have I mentioned... one of my biggest pet peeves are folks that will approach a *green* light, slow down, and wait for the bloody last second to move over in to the (red) left hand turn lane.  It&#039;s especially annoying if I&#039;m behind them and if, by doing so, they &quot;stick&quot; me at the newly red light (though I can be often intimidating in my stare-down).

I actually was up next to someone at a red light just a couple of days ago... they were smoking and flicking their ashes out the window on to the ground outside.  I think the question was lost on the poor girl, though, when I asked her if her car had come equipped with an ashtray (along with the &quot;friend&quot; she had in the car).  I&#039;m guessing it was her parents&#039; car and she was just trying to not let them know she smoked, or something (considering you could tell smoking was a rather &quot;new&quot; trait for her, just by watching how well she handled the cancer stick).</description>

		<description>I think this is my favorite paragraph... *LAUGH*

  Yellow means .stop if you can..

[quote]
  Stop lights used to be just red and green. The problem was, people
  would panic and slam on the brakes when the light suddenly turned
  red. So they added yellow. Yellow means .stop if you can without
  slamming on your brakes. (so the guy behind you doesn.t hit you).
  Just think in your head how many accidents could be caused just by
  following this rule.
[/quote]

...guess I should start running yellow lights so I avoid accidents, eh?

BTW, in case you forgot... YOU LIVE IN LA!!!.  I think THAT ALONE should explain a lot -- perhaps the only worse places in the US is either Floriduh with their famed Anti Destination League or Boston, where the lines in the street tend only to indicate &quot;direction.&quot;  Then again, most of the east coast tends to be pretty crazy, where I think the general motto is &quot;Hey, if they&#039;re dumb enough to be driving out here in the snow, I&#039;M dumb enough to cut them off!&quot;

Something to add... which I know, is your personal favorite (when was
your last three-lane change to a freeway exit, Mr. LA Driver?)

[b]PLAN AHEAD AND MAKE PREDICTABLE MOVEMENTS[/b]
It really helps to know where you&#039;re going.  However, we all know everyone has to find their way around new places at some point.  You should look at your maps [i]ahead of time[/i] and, when you make the inevitable wrong turn, don&#039;t compensate by attempting to turn at the last minute... on the freeway, for example, you should approach the exit lane a good half mile or [i]more[/i] before your exit (the very minimum being that you only change lanes [i]once[/i] every 100yds); don&#039;t just &quot;dive&quot; from the left lane to the right lane at the bloody last minute, cutting everyone off in the process.  Don&#039;t drive past an exit, only to pull over and [i]back up[/i] to make your exit... go to the next one, make a U-Turn, and come back from the other direction.  BTW, this goes for surface streets, too.  In short, if you&#039;re planning on making a turn, you should be setup and ready [i]before[/i] you get there... don&#039;t turn in to the lane at the last moment and, at least if people are there to see them, [i]use your signals[/i].  Would you expect a pilot to try to force a landing half or three-quarters down the runway?  No, you wouldn&#039;t... you&#039;d expect them to [i]go around[/i].  If you&#039;re missing your turn, do the right thing and [i]go around[/i] when you drive, too.</description>
