Crazy Drivers

So many drivers with such little time, at least that are how most people act. Everybody is either in a rush to arrive somewhere or have no idea where he/she are going. Also, their driving skills do not take into count what type of car they happen to be driving. Through my eyes, there are three main types of drivers. These would be the speeder, the aggressive driver, and the clueless.

The first category of drivers is the speeder. These are the people always in a rush to arrive somewhere. Whether it is in the morning, afternoon, evening, or even in the middle of the night, they are speeding. For some, they need to feel the excitement of zooming down the road 10 or 15 miles an hour over the speed limit, sometimes more. For some, it may be the enjoyment knowing they are breaking the law, but it may be they just do not care. In some cases the driver may not know what the speed limit is because they are either in an unfamiliar road which may not have a speed limit sign. Unfortunately these drivers do not take into consideration the other drivers on the road, pedestrians, or children playing on a neighborhood street. Will a speeding ticket calm these racers down? A ticket can only tame a few. The additional points, higher insurance or cancelled policies should affect the driver in a way that they learn to slow down. Although in a few years, when the ticket drops off their record they are back to speeding. As the saying goes, once a speeder, always a speeder.

The second category of drivers is the aggressive driver. Although an aggressive driver is a speeder, he/she are also the tailgater and the finger pointer. They also enjoy, especially during high traffic times, swerving in between lanes. What makes an aggressive driver? There are a few different possibilities. Maybe they had a bad day, maybe they are in a rush to get somewhere, or maybe, they have no idea how to drive properly. Aggressive drivers take no one into consideration. These drivers live off the feeling like they are the race car driver, acting as if on a track. No matter what type of car, whether it is small, such as a Mitsubishi Eclipse, or as large as a Cadillac Escalade, they are weaving in and out, speeding, and tailgating. In some cases, at that moment, when you need to merge into the lane, and you get ahead of them, they flip the bird. In that instance, it does not matter even if you were in the right of way. One thing that gets aggravates me the most is the tailgating. During high traffic, and there is nowhere to go, what is
