Don’t you hate it when someone honks their car horn at you, then yells, “Get moving!” Be it road-rage or even impatience, car-honking is plain rude. Living in Milwaukee, one of the road-rage capitals, one really gets to hating that sound. They honk and tailgate, trying to get you to move faster. They even do it to Behind the Wheel students, brand-new at driving, and pay no attention to the fact that he/she is a new driver.

In Milwaukee, especially in the inner city, people are impatient and very self-centered. They swerve around you if given the slightest chance. People say that Chicago has the worst drivers, and granted I’ve had many scares there, but Milwaukee is up there too. No relaxing at all here.

Another cause related to this problem is that many kids have their own cars as soon as they get their license. Parents give them whatever they ask for and too many of these kids do not have the capacity to be responsible when they have been brought up this way. They think they own the world and everyone should just get out of the way for them. They are the main-offenders of my pet peeve.

I realize that one must honk now and then in order to avoid an accident, but use it just for those occasions. please.
