Part of what I want to write in my blog is a series of bad driver examples… Some might call me an aggressive driver. I completely DISAGREE! Am I careful? – Yes. Am I defensive? – Yes. Have I ever been in a car accident? – Yes, but they were always the other driver’s fault.
Yesterday, I was driving my family around in the mini-van… for whatever reason, all the slow drivers kept getting in front of me. What do I mean by slow? Picture this… a 3 lane highway (3 lanes in each direction). I’m in the left lane and there are 3 cars in front of me… each driving at the EXACT SAME SPEED, and all going a good 10 mph LESS than the speed limit. So I tailgated to let them know to speed up or yield… I flashed my headlights, even. — No response.
Some would call me the aggressive driver because I was “tailgating” but I’d say I was the only safe driver there. I wasn’t causing a traffic hazzard by driving (a) below speed limit in the LEFT LANE, (b) the same speed as my fellow drivers – as if we were the only 3 on the road. It’s just plain rude, inconsiderate, and I would easily question whether those individuals should be granted a drivers license AT ALL.
I’d like to see getting a driver’s license be much, Much, MUCH harder than it currently is. If you don’t have the skills to drive competently, please don’t endanger the lives of me and my family by getting on the road. Or at the very least, stay in the right lane!
