Driving

I love driving. And driving fast, I might add.

Which is why incompetent drivers really piss me off.

You are going down a stretch of highway, and you clearly know as you are driving that the left lane is for expedited drivers. Drivers who have a destination, and don't have time to settle for a mediocre 65 MPH limit. They know what they are doing, both in terms of time and and terms of the law. It's a risk you take.

And damn it, if I want to risk it, I want every stupid idiot out of my way.

Multiple techniques exist to really make your point clear that you are sick of idiots. Flash your brights. Ride their tailgate (a.k.a. "ride their ass). Honk if necessary. And if really upset, use finger signals and gestures to make your point solidified.

So then why is it that people still do not get that they cannot drive like idiots around non-idiot drivers? It is beyond me.

Who are these culprits of such sinful actions? I hate to say it, but it is typically older citizens, with target groups of ages 55 and higher. They live in a world where time is not of the essence, where they know that their destination is not urgent, nor do they care if it is. It's great tranquility for these people, while I grip on to my steering wheel as I feel the blood flow being cut off to it.

Who do you yell at? What can you do? I find myself belting out my iPod songs louder as I get gradually more frustrated, but really there is nothing to be done.

If I send any message it is this: please pass on the word that driving is only for members of society who deserve the right because they can deduce things like right lane / left lane, and to recognize that if they see a red car with a bunch of hail dents to get the f*@& out of the way.

And I'm done.
