Seat laid back, music up and windows down — that's the only way to drive in the summer. However, while you're driving your way on the road, there are millions of others who drive their own way. Chances are more than half of these other drivers will get in your way and get on your nerves too. Listed below are the types of drivers I'm sure everyone experiences while driving:
1. The Jack that wants to drive slow in the fast Lane
I can't even begin to describe how irritating this is! I get that sometimes the fast lane is more open sometimes, but it's because people who are in it drive — you guessed it — fast!
2. Jack's cousin who doesn't like to use their blinker (turn signal).
How hard is it to pull the lever and signal whether you're turning or merging to the left or the right? Seriously, using these saves lives. It may not be from an actual wreck, but from a pissed off driver that you probably made slam the brakes to allow for your forced entry into the lane.
3. The dancing driver
Sorry, not sorry, because this is totally me. If there's music playing, chances are I'm dancing. I'm also probably speeding. Sorry, Mom! Thank goodness for cruise control, right?
4. The person using their phone.
It's not just talking on the phone or texting anymore. With the technology we have today, it's very common to see people everywhere looking at Facebook, Twitter or trying out a new filter on Snapchat. In all seriousness, don't do any of this. Value not just your own safety, but value others' as well, and don't use your phone while driving. Pick a radio, Pandora or Spotify station and just stick to that until you are able to change it safely.
5. The mad mama
This is one driver I'm sure everyone can relate to. These drivers are easy to pick out because you see one hand on the wheel and half her body turned toward the back with her mouth open. When my sister and I were young, our mother didn't bother turning around. She just counted to three, and if we weren't acting right by the time she got to three, she brought a wooden spoon out and started flailing it in the back trying to connect it to our legs.
6. The tailgater
To the car riding my butt,
I see you riding right up on me. No I am not going to drive any faster. If anything I'll start driving slower.
7. The grandma driver
Bless their heart, but this is the kind of driver that makes you feel bad when you get mad at them for driving how they do. These drivers have their blinker on for at least five miles before they actually turn. Or if they stop at a red light and they go over the line, they'll be sure to put it in reverse to back up. I always seem to run into the grandma or grandpa driver when I'm already running late.
