>>Ah, Washington drivers! Paying no attention at all until someone nears their space, then all of a sudden VERY attentive and territorial yet unwilling to be actually aggressive, so instead just kind of interfering.

>>Highway driving at its finest.

>>> Every single place you have lived has the worst drivers. Except for you.

>>> How does this make you feel?

It's the darndest thing: anyone who drives faster than me is a maniac and anyone who drives slower than me is a moron. Curiouser and curiouser.

I know this is an unusual strategy, but typically I want the people who drive faster than me to be as far in front of me as possible. That way when their terrible driving causes them to crash in a fiery explosion, I'm not anywhere near them.

But I've never had much trouble getting the people who want to drive faster than me to go in front of me by just... letting them pass. Whereas the people who drive slower than me, now those are the assholes.
