Your Lane - Stay in it (2013)!


Stay in your lane, literally and figuratively! The best way to ensure the safety of others and yourself on the road is to stay in your lane. There are lines demarcating each lane whether it's a single lane back country road or a 6 lane interstate highway. You can and should not straddle it swerving between yours and another sending all kinds of mixed messages. If you want to change lanes make sure the timing is right, make the move to another, pass if you have to, but just make sure you are in one. Not staying in a lane, especially your own, WILL get you in a fender bender of sorts. You will be side swiped, rear ended and quite possibly end up in a head on collision.

Have you ever been sitting in heavily congested traffic on a major highway and somehow all the other lanes look like they are moving so fast and smooth and in your anxiety you switch over only to slow down there. All the cars that had been behind you now slipping past you. You contemplate going back and for a while no one will let you back in and when you eventually make it back the lane you just came back from is moving?!

Switching around and being undecided about your lane, if you have passengers in your car, also endangers people you care about and who care about you. Everything we do affects people outside of ourselves.

In closing, everything is not for everyone. Know yourself and to thine own self be true now and especially for 2013.  This is a premature New Years's Resolution :)
