Stop Staring…

Daily writing prompt
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

The prompt said two very key words here… freeway and say! Ummm, am I the only one here that thinks this to be a bit dangerous? 

We have enough problems with folks trying to commute and simultaneously eat breakfast, do their hair and make up, have conference calls and binge watch a dog surfing in Hawaii, while steering with their knees. 

I think it would be kind of silly to add more Side of The Highway Death Notes to people… if I’m to be fully honest! 

Do you realize how fewer accidents and quicker commutes folks would have if we all just left our phones, food, and make-up in our bag on the passenger seat, while focusing on the road in front of us?! We are all careening down a road at a pretty fast clip, in nothing more than a big Band-aid tin… remember those tiny boxes with the pop top lid? 

Personally, I would like to keep the lid on my box and not run into the car in front of me, while I’m busy reading the Billboard sign about who the best local AUTO ACCIDENT Lawyer is, or what the nearest Amusement Park looks like, as I zip by!

I have two favorite things I’ve seen and heard from inside my car that I will share…

I once read a Bumper Sticker on the truck in front of me that said, “If you get any closer to my bumper, I will flick a booger on your windshield”… very on point here I think!

I also heard a joke on the radio once that said, “When I die, I want to go peaceful in my sleep… not screaming and crying like all the passengers in my car”!

Let’s all just keep our eyes on the road ahead and leave the reading for an armchair!

Here, have a cookie…
