Life Is A Highway

I think you can tell a lot about someone’s personality by the way they drive. I've seriously had some first dates determined by how the guy handled himself behind the wheel...

The Bossy Dominator: The overly aggressive people who ride your bumper even when it’s obvious you can’t change lanes because there is a car right next to you. They don’t even care that you have your blinker on, signaling that you will indeed get out of their way. They don’t have the patience to let you pass that car and move over, nope, they want you to move and move right now!
The Jerk: This is the guy who sees you turn your blinker on to change lanes and speeds up or slows down just enough so that you can’t get over. Flipping the bird to this guy only energizes him because he actually enjoys pissing you off.
The Clueless: This is the person who just rolls down the road without paying attention to anyone else. They cut you off, fail to yield, and prevent you from changing lanes – not because they’re trying to act like The Jerk but simply because they float through life completely oblivious.
The Over-Compensator: In an attempt to be nice, these people get everyone else out of order. At a four-way stop it’s their turn but they wave you on, you have the yield sign but they stop to let you go…being nice is more important than following the rules.
The Raging Hormone: Extreme road ragers. They yell, cuss, flip you off, and sometimes even run you off the road. These people should come with their very own warning.
The Vindictive: This person deals with traffic and all it’s frustrations by trying to teach everyone around them a lesson. They respond to Bossy Dominators by slowing down to an unbearable crawl…”Ride my bumper? I’ll show you!”
The Double Standarderds: When aggravated with the Bossy Dominator these people morph into a Vindictive yet they have no problem riding the bumper of the person in front of them. They falsely accuse those people of being a Jerk when they slow down, forgetting that’s exactly what they do.
The Timid: Too scared to jump out and take a chance, they eek onto the highway at 25 mph, come to a full stop at every yield sign, and wait 30 minutes to make a left turn. They are cautious to a fault and don’t see that sometimes that’s the behavior that’s the most dangerous.
The Risk Taker: If the speed limit is 70 mph, they’re driving at least 80 mph. They weave through traffic, gun it and go, and jump out to make the turn. They aren't always safe but they are almost always exciting.
Of course, none of those apply to me. Nope, because I'm perfect.
