I can write a entire book about people and their driving skills...
Lets not open a can of worms about specific race of people because there is bad drivers of all colours.
You would think that the amount of driving that a individual does in their life time that they'd be consider a professional driver but that's not the case because their attention span only revolves around them and their own vehicle and no one else. Are you one of these people? I sure hope not...

Over the years I learned one thing while driving. Not once did someone yelling at me change the way I drive. Nor will the people you yell at or hold up signs to change their driving habits. Recently I've adopted a "no emotion" driving approach. Everything is simply gas, brake, turn. That's all it breaks down to in the end. It's made my commute much more endurable.

You missed some very critical details, like look around, signal, use your brain. The lack of these details is the very reason that started this thread.

No emotion OMG I could never understand why anyone would drive like that. Two hands on the wheel, hoodie over the head, direct blank stare straight ahead. I always thought they were sleeping. Now I know, Now I got it!. Have you ever noticed the no emotion driving driver 80 in an 80 and then continues 80 in a 60, Good job! I use cruise a lot on highways, every time someone will blow by and then slow down I think I passed one girl on the 4oo 8 times between 89 and 9 she just couldn't get a constant speed, maybe a text message came in LOL OMG Happy Face Happy Face. Life is great in the fast lane keep your no emotions in the right lane

Lack of courtesy is abundant on all road ways... What really Burns me are the clowns that use the on ramps to get 100 yards ahead of everyone who are obeying the laws... If I see YOU cut into an on ramp to get ahead, be prepared to hit your brakes because your not going by me..... Got a new vehicle so not sure if I will do it as often as I did with the old vehicle...

What does paying attention, looking around, driving safely have to do with emotion?? Do you all get excited to check your blind spot? Does making a turn anger you? Should I be driving around with a big happy grin? Or perhaps angry at everyone? How would that affect my ability to handle a vehicle. Emotion is what makes people drive like a-holes and starts road rage. It does not make someone drive 80 in a 60????

I definitely agree especially with trucks being in two lanes and slowpokes plugging movement in the fast lane......Have any of you ever driven through the Carolinas......two lanes trucks everywhere and still slowpokes in the fast lane........yup road rage stays alive and well for those that are less patient.
