10 reasons why we hate Colorado Springs drivers

*Writer's Note:  This is my first post.  I am the husband.  And when I say "Springs drivers", I mean Colorado Springs drivers.

10.  Ya know when you let someone into a lane, and they give you that little "thank you" courtesy wave?  Springs drivers don't believe in that.

9. Springs drivers simply do not pay attention.  They are too concerned with who texted them, whether their make up is straight, or are too stoned to care.

8.  Apparently, the turn signal will cause the fuel inside your car to spontaneously ignite, turning it into a massive fire bomb.  That is, according to Springs drivers.

7.  To a normal driver, a yellow light means "Slow down and stop because the light is about to turn red.  And you can't go through a red light".  To a Springs driver, it means "Dear God, speed up or you might never make it to where you're going.  Ever".

6.  The accepted rule of thumb is that the bigger your truck, the fewer traffic laws you have to follow because well, you drive a big f---in truck.

5.  The cool thing to do is to drive as long as possible in the left lane of a highway, regardless of the fact that you're going below the speed limit, and there is no one in the right lane next to you.  And that you've passed about 5 signs that say "Left lane for passing only".

4.  That the cops let people get away with all the above.

3.  You might have gotten cut off, run off the road, or almost gotten hit, but the driver of that vehicle didn't seem to notice, oblivious to the fact that you're miffed as all hell at him/her.

2.  Due to all of the above, Springs drivers love to get in accidents, causing massive traffic jams.  Which cause more accidents.  Because of Rule 9.

1.  And for all of these reasons, I have become an angry driver.  Which I hate.  Hence the title.
