Not you, not I . . .

While driving a car do you: Text (OMG)? Talk on the cell phone without a headset (meaning that there is only one hand on the wheel)? Talk to dumb drivers through your closed windows as you motor along? Use non-subtle gestures?

While riding in a car, do you assist the driver operate his/her vehicle from a passenger seat? Is your brake foot frequently pressed to the floor even though the brake pedal is on the opposite side of the car? Do you grab the flimsy handle above the armrest as though it might keep you from flying through the windshield in an emergency?

Do you lane-surf with your cruise control on? Cut off, or out, other vehicles? Make the decision at the last possible instant whether to take an exit, or not? Pull out into traffic and depend on the goodwill (reactions) of other drivers?

Are you driving on the streets of my city? I think so. I seem to see you every where.

No encounters, please . . .

I like Miami drivers, they always run the red light ahead of me so I'm first to turn in a left hand lane.

Lane-surf with the cruise control on. Now, I've never tried that one. Is this a new sport? Make the decision at the last possible instant is a guy thing. I'm very sure about that one.

Uncle T tells people he meets that they better watch out up here where we live. He says that we're getting some of those Miami Drivers moving up here now. Everyone laughs.

Almost any driver down here thinks that, with a little backing, he could make it on the NASCAR circuit.
