Wednesday - Speed Demons and Slow Pokes

ninanevermoreToday on the drive into work, I was thinking about how all of the drivers on the road could be divided into four categories, if one is the type to divide people into categories:
1) People who subtract 5 miles per hour from the speed limit,
2) People who drive exactly the speed limit
3) People who add 5 miles per hour to the speed limit (controlled speeders)
4) People who drive as fast as they can, no matter what the speed limit is (uncontrolled speeders).
The last three groups don't like to share the road with the first group, and wish they would stay the heck off of the road during rush hour since they aren't in any rush.
Type 1 and 2 drivers are afraid of people in group 4 and don't like driving anywhere near them. They are irritate by type 3 drivers, like myself, and think we should just leave the house earlier.
Type 3 drivers like the people in group 4 because they distract the police for us and lessen the chances of us getting a ticket. Why pull over a type 3 when a fat juicy type 4 is always weaving in and out of traffic just around the bend? With a type 3, the cop gets to write a $40 ticket, unless our stickers are out of date. With a type 4, it's at least $200 for the city coffers.
I have also found that the more late I am running, the more likely the road is to be full of type 1 drivers. I wonder why? I probably should leave the house earlier, indeed.

It was raining!!! And this is the same guy who gets safety awards for trucking. I think he just gets so excited to be in a car from driving that slow truck that he goes wild.
I get behind type 1 drivers almost every morning before work. I don't want to ride on their tail, but I don't like to crawl at 35 mph either!
