Alternate Route

Mar 20, 2008 - Between The Lines

There are days when I think that the test for getting your license needs to be tightened up a bit or maybe occassional retesting. Yesterday was one of them.

The main road from my place to town is a rural, two lane road that's basically a straight road. No sharp turns, just the occassional bend.

I was heading into town following an inappropriately named Navigator who seemed to have trouble keeping it on the road.

At first I thought they were one of those drivers that shied away from oncoming traffic and would veer to the right side of the road when oncoming traffic approached. That only explained the first trip to the right shoulder.

In three miles, the Navigator bounced back and forth between getting the right side wheels off the road and drifting over the centerline.

No cell phone use that I could see, just lousy driving. That, or evidence that you really can find a license in a box of Cracker Jacks!
