Will a ‘driver’s union’ help?

Drivers in South Florida are warned to ‘prepare’ for major road work on I-95 which will start in September of 2017 and last for 5 years. You may as well

Thank you for the heads up. That gives us two and a half years to ‘prepare’.

What kind of ‘preparation’ will we need? The short answer: ‘Preparation H’. It could be a healing salve for all the pain we’ll endure sitting on our butts in the traffic. It has been estimated that south Florida drivers spend more time in traffic than with their barista. This has to end!

Do we:

!, Sell the house. No sense staying here when we can’t get anywhere.

2, Load that Uber app onto your phone to keep driving to a minimum.

3, Band together

There’s a group of people who have been maligned, cursed at and looked down upon, yet they are average everyday citizens like you and me. There are more of them than there are lobbyists in Tallahassee and with a group this huge you would expect their impact to be larger than the tonnage of under-priced third world imports to Wal-Mart. But no, my friends they are scattered, individual and without representation. If they should band together and act as one, their impact would be as an exploding sun.

Who are they?

They’re the largest unregulated, unrepresented and leaderless group of our fellow Americans. They are the bad drivers; people who get yelled at in traffic for cutting in front of you at the exit, coasting through a stop sign or driving slower than you in the left lane. Enough with the disrespect! Let’s unionize!

All you need is a vehicle, a cell phone and a ‘me first attitude’

Once we form a union, we’ll have the clout to say, ‘who are you to tell me how to drive’?

There will be no dues, no slogans and most importantly, no pesky rules and regulations to memorize. Instead of an official handshake, you’ll only use one finger.

All is equal on the road; from the hybrid to the Hummer, the slow boat to the speedster. Right now, you’re asking yourself is a ‘Driver’s Union’ a joke? Get on the road and you tell me.
