I was looking at the light.

I was driving down the hill on Fairview heading towards the golf course and I was turning left on the light, not paying attention to on-coming traffic. I approached the light, almost turned left, until my friend in the passenger seat screamed at me because she thought a car was going straight towards us while it wasn't... it was turning left also (which is the other direction). So, when she screamed I swerved to the right and almost hit another car. It was a near death experience... almost.

Defrost

So on my way home from my friend's house the other night, I turned on the car and realized every single window in the car was foggy. I thought nothing of it, turned on the defrost and drove off. It wasn't until I was actually on main roads that I realized the defrost wasn't helping at all. But after I hit a few more buttons on the dashboard, it kept getting worse. The front windshield kept getting foggier and foggier as I drove along. It was pretty embarrassing because I slowed down a lot since I could hardly see. I finally pulled into a gas station and sat there for a while, figured out how to get the fog to go away, and drove off.

"Put your phone away."

I thought the newest and most important driving law is no texting while driving. Well, last week I was driving around with Salem and had my phone out texting and a cop pulled up next to me. Of course I pretend like I don't see him because we were driving about 35 miles per hour down Frederica; However, the light turned red and we stopped. The cop inched closer to me and flashed his light for a second so I looked at him. He was signaling me to roll my window down so I did. There were actually two cops in this cop car, the passenger was looking at a big laptop and he rolled his window down too and said, "Put your phone away." So I did... and didn't get a ticket. Thank God.
