GTA Traffic Sucks Forum

Does the coffee cup make you drive stupid?

May 9th, 2007 by GTS Blogger

Today I experienced something I just had to write about. It happens so often and its so frustrating.

Whenever I travel to work I pass a Tim Hortons plaza with a few other places. The line up is always large at this Tim Hortons and people are always taking their cars and sitting through the what seems hour long line up.

Now thats fine let them sit, but then its these same people who fumble around with their coffee cup trying to open it or drink it while driving and trying to turn onto the main road. Don’t drink and drive! Even your coffee cup!

As they fumble, they seemingly love to turn onto the road at a lesiurely 20 km/hr while everyone who was going the speed limit of 60 km/hr has to slam on their brakes not to hit them!

You would think they would speed up quickly to the speed limit to not annoy everyone? WRONG! They accelerate to the speed limit just as slow…

It’s like this:

turn onto the street…
accelerate to 20… tick tock tick tock…
25 tick tock tick tock tick tock 35 tick tock
45 tick tock tick tock 50

and then they sit at 50 and then must have a miracle happen and realize damn its 60 here… tick tock tick tock they finally reach to 60 meanwhile the whole traffic has just backlogged for their master skilled driving

Why does this happen? has the caffeine from the coffee cup not kicked in yet? Are they still sleepy or does the daily visit to the Tim Hortons never make them realize how they are driving? hmmm

Could this be the next traffic causer?
