The older I've gotten the less aggressive my driving style has become. No longer do I speed down city streets, weave in and out of freeway traffic, or attempt to make that yellow light. Some may think, feel, or say I drive like an old man, and maybe I do, however, I've never been in a serious car accident nor do I have any points on my license because of tickets. Let's just call my driving style conservative and leave it at that. I don't claim to be the perfect driver, I'm sure I make my share of minor mistakes, but I've come to the conclusion that getting to my destination accident and ticket free is far more important than getting to my destination in record time.
To those drivers who just don't get it:
Guy in the red Honda Accord, I see you riding my bumper, and I understand that you want to go 90mph when traffic is going 70mph, unfortunately there isn't a lot I can do about the car in front of me. My advice to you, turn on the radio, jam to some tunes, and simmer.
Woman in the grey Mini Cooper, I can hear you honking your horn in the middle of a Van Ness Avenue traffic stand still, everyone else can hear it too, unfortunately six UPS trucks need to block every lane of the road to make very important deliveries.
Middle aged dude with the red corvette, weaving in and out of traffic seems like a horrible way to conduct your morning commute, heck, every time you pass me thirty seconds later I pass you. Instead of making everyone else on the freeway have to look out for your stupid face, chill, sip on that coffee and think pleasing thoughts of ponies or something.
My final word: Relax drivers, we're all on the roads together.
