Spaced out

Highway to the danger zone or whatever they are calling it.

I admit that I am not good at spatial objects. I know it is just me wondering what is going on, but I feel that people pull in front of you with little space to spare. Two times in one day I nearly saw two accidents. It looked that way to me.

First in the morning I was on my way to work. I was the second car at a stoplight. The light just turned yellow. The car in front of me proceeded to go. A car from the other direction was turning left at the same time. It seemed they just missed each other. The leftee got out of the way and the car in front went on its way. Then two seconds later a red jeep blows by me and through the red light. It did not even stop.

That afternoon, coming home from work, I was in a curve. It is a little bit of an annoying curve, especially when the sun is in your eyes. This car was coming from the other direction. It looked like it paused when it saw me, but went ahead to turn left in front of me. Fortunately, I did not pack the trunk.

Another thing that gets me is the four way stop close to my house. I can never tell when it is close who got that first. Most of the time in that situation I wait to see what the other car will do. There are people who seem to go right as you in front of them. This always makes me nervous. It seems like they are going to hit me. They have not yet, but I still panic.

These are the things that drive me wild.
