Bad Drivers - Type 12
There are a lot of bad drivers out there; cranky truck drivers, blue-haired old ladies, drunks and cranky, drunk, old lady truck drivers. My favorite bad driver is the "drivers-seat couch potato". This type is invariably a middle aged white man. You know that type I am talking about. They are usually driving big old boats, like Chevy Impalas or Pontiac Catalinas with the seat reclined so far that if it was any further back they would be entirely supine. You normally see them zipping down the highway with their arms draped around the front seat, like it was a cheap date, doing speeds in excess of 80 miles per hour. The only thing missing from this scene is a remote control in one hand a can of beer in the other. They are so mellow and laid back that if they had to hit the break they would have traveled about 3.7 miles before they were able to come to a stop. Their attitude and posture is more appropriate for sitting in the couch in their boxers on a Sunday morning than controlling a 2 ton hurling piece of metal. Do you think you can humor me and at least PRETEND that you care and that you are paying attention? These are they guys for whom they invented the rumble strip. Opps, I nodded off there, what were you saying, again?
