Blinking Lights
They are the bane of the everyday driver’s existence. Or at least they can be. Whereas the blinking lights of a police vehicle behind you when you are driving past your NJ Toyota dealers mean “warning” or “danger”, this is not the normal occurrence.
First let’s think about what the reaction is in normal traffic when a cop car is sitting around.
See cop car. Ah! Hit brakes. Piss off the people around you who then hit their brakes because they can’t see what the problem is until it’s too late, and they are already freaked out about slamming on their brakes.
This happens at least two times a week with many a cop car sitting on the side and watching, scaring, and causing a raucous to the drivers on the road. I get you are trying to make the highways safer, but you really just freak people out who don’t want to get a ticket. This pesky speeding tickets cost you money to pay the fine and then again each month when you pay your car insurance. Imagine shopping for a new Nissan Altima at Atlantic Nissan a Long Island Nissan dealer and you find out your car insurance will cost you more than the car. There is no brake slamming until you come along.
Now let’s add blinking lights. Oh watch out now. There is a problem. Blinking lights bring “lookie-loos” as they are called. Not only do the lights bring on the same heart attack, but they cause whole rows of cars to stop and look and brake and freak out.
Normally one car brakes and one other car brakes with a cop car sitting there. Now put blinking lights and one car stops another, stops another, stops another…until there is officially traffic and red lights on social cars for half a mile. How annoying can that be on your way to work when you don’t account for some random lights that are causing a pause in traffic? Pretty.
But don’t worry, once you pass the lights of *blink *blink * blinkitty blink, you are usually fine. Traffic speeds up not only instantly but continues to do so. Only the blinking lights of the cars stopped you and may even have you looking over at the problem (another few seconds of pausing for each car for looking) if there are cars spun out (snow times) or just a car sitting there.
Death? Maiming? Mayhem? Stop looking! What must you look? Just keep going for crap sake. You have somewhere to be as much as I do, so knock it off, keep driving and hurry up about it.
I may not have a million online classifieds to look at when I get work, but I do have stuff to do. Like write this blog about having stuff to do.
Let’s move out!
