Having put 1200 miles on the nations highways over the past couple of weeks I have had the opportunity to watch a wide selection of drivers.  A diverse selection of drivers in various states.  And I have to say, you people scare the living crap out of me with the way you drive.

Mind you, I am not a paragon of automotive guidance.  But sweet screamin’ jayzus, y’all.  Where the hell did you all learn to drive?

Mom’s in their Mom Vans weaving in and out of traffic…going at least 10 mph over the limit…with their sweet little “Baby On Board” stickers.  I hope to all that is holy that they left the baby at home if Mom drives like that.  Young people doing the same lane to lane drift…must have picked it up from Mom when she had them “On Board.”

People speeding up to pass just so they can take the exit that you are going past…..if they would have stayed at their original speed they could have taken the exit without cutting me off.

I tend to stay in the far right lane…yeah.  I am that 5 mph over the speed limit guy.  So when you come jetting up behind me….as I am in the right lane….don’t think that I am going to either speed up, or pull off of the road to let you by.  Dillweed.

I worked with a guy who always said that he viewed the tickets he got for speeding to be the tax he paid to drive as fast as he wanted.  I never rode with him when we had to go to meetings.  I like my life a little bit too much.

So, what the frack is it with people on the highways?  Why is there such a need for speed?  Is it because folks can’t organize their time sufficiently?  Is it because folks have over stretched their available time?  Help me out here, kids.  I would really like to know.

Drop me a note with your ideas.  Or your witticisms of my driving at slower speeds.  You know how to do it….
