10 Dangerous and Annoying Bad Habits of Some Drivers


On my way home today I got tailgated again. It comes as no surprise as I get tailgated almost daily, even multiple times on some days. I try to keep myself calm. It doesn't always work.

I have a somewhat competitive nature when I am driving - for some reason - as I think most people do if they are willing to admit it.

But, whether it calmed me down or just made me even more furious, I started thinking about some of the most frustrating bad habits many driver's possess.

Thrifty Traveler's Advantage - Scam?

Thrifty Car Rental - Blue Chip Membership

She invited me to save an additional so much for reserving my rental car over the phone. I wasn’t trying to place the reservation so I kind of avoided that topic. Before hanging up she said “You don’t want to be transferred to find out about the additional savings and $20 in free gas?”

Tornado Damage Videos from Tennessee

Destroyed Home in Ringgold, GA - Photo Taken 5/3/11
I've put up a few new videos from the damage done on April 27, 2011 from the tornadoes that touched down in the area. Little did I realize they didn't merely touch down in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, but also Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, all over the place. I uploaded a new video of some of the damage in Apison, Tennessee. In the video, we are driving by pretty fast but it's the first video I was able to take while not driving. I recommend you mute the sound though, since I had the camera out the window almost the entire time and you can hear it the wind beating against it.
