Attention Drivers of SUVs and mini vans

The drivers of four door sedans of the world would like to inform you that you have a blind spot. In order to safely change lanes, we reccomend that you actually physically look to your left rather than simply rely on your rear view mirror to see if you have room to move over. We're not behind you, but beside you, and we're not six feet tall. While we understand this might mean you would have to pause in your cell phone conversation, it is not our fault that you didn't see us when you didn't even look.

Using a signal wouldn't kill you either.

Oh...and while I'm on my little safe driving rant, I'd like a word with the maniac in the yellow Hummer on Pine Island Road yesterday.

I don't care what the commercials tell you, you're not king of the road. Your horn is not there to use to aid in bullying people for not moving out of your way faster.

As I realize that you will likely not learn either of these lessons until you've killed someone, kindly move to a state where I don't have friends and family on the roads.

Using a signal as you weave from lane to lane wouldn't kill you either.
