Pay attention the next time you are driving. If you recall driver’s training, there are two primary lanes: The left lane … you know, the one for faster vehicles as compared to the right lane for slower moving ones.
What about that long line of vehicles in the left lane who are almost bumper-to-bumper driving under the speed limit? These vehicles seem to all be waiting for the slower car in front of them to yield to their faster moving vehicle and merge right?
But in a long line of such vehicles, each has a slower one in front of them, who they in turn are waiting for the one in front of them and the cycle continues until one of the cars loses patience, merges into the right lane and violently accelerates until they get to the front of the jam in the left lane, looks over with a raging fist and quickly cuts back into the left lane in front of the evil culprit who was holding up the entire procession of left lane vehicles.
Here’s the deal. There is always one vehicle who is at the front of the jam. One without a vehicle in front of them. Nearly every time it will be, Yep…a mini-van…or a Prius, but 9/10 its a mini-van.
My V10 Audi and my 5.7L Tahoe accelerate incredibly fast and my average speed is 15 miles over the speed limit. After all, I do have somewhere important to be. It is not your right to impede me in your 0-60 mph in 2.34 minutes snotty-tot, grocery lugger without reprisal.
Smokey the Bear once warned: “Only you can prevent forest fires.” So I say “road rage begins with you Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. Mini-Van driver.”
