To drivers everywhere...

For those of you who don't know, I don't really commute to work.

For the last year of my college career, I commuted to and from school, planning my commute and schedule around traffic... and a year of that kind of lifestyle was enough for me.

I made the decision to buy property close to where I work so I would not be spending so much of my life in my car, on the highway, & away from my family. I also didn't want the burden of heavy gas costs and toll roads to dictate the decisions I could make with my free time.

But this week has been a bit different for me. I've been going up to another city for some work training and networking. Thankfully the conference isn't too far away, but far enough that I began to notice some horrible California driving traits I had forgotten about.

I sat in the back seat and watched a girl drive and put on her makeup today. And no, it wasn't just a touch up of her lip gloss... She was going the full nine yards with brushes and colors all while going 65 mph on the freeway.... it was just plain shocking...

But to be fair to both genders, I won't stop there.

Maybe 10 minutes later I saw a guy shaving his face while driving.... and no, he wasn't using a electric razor.

We are talking shaving cream and a hand blade....

On the freeway...

Going full California Speed.

It's no wonder the "5" and "405" are always crammed with accidents... How many people are actually only driving their car and not doing something else?

Please, if you don't care enough about yourself to avoid that type of behavior, please consider the other innocent people on the road... I feel blessed that we made it to and from the conference in one piece... Especially since I didn't even mention the lady WHO CREATED HER OWN LANE ON THE FREEWAY in order to NOT merge into a lane...
