Today I kept you a little safer. Driving home from school today, the black SUV in front of me continuously veered off the road. In and out of the yellow lines he went, almost hitting a mailbox once, and in general driving like a jerk. At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Let’s be honest, how many times have we taken a call or sipped a cup of coffee on the road and perhaps swerved just the tiniest amount? When it continued for more than a mile, I pestered him with my brights and he arrogantly continued his swerving. Was he drunk? On drugs? Texting? If I chose to do nothing and someone died because I didn’t want to get involved wouldn’t I be just as guilty? I decided to make the call and phoned the non-emergency number for the police. They appreciated the heads up and dispatched the call immediately…and before you ask, yes, I did it all on Blue Tooth.
