I’ve seen you … and others like you … driving like you couldn’t care less about the rules of the road or basic common courtesy. You’re the cowboy I saw in the black BMW cutting diagonally across all three lanes as you entered 280 south just to get to the far left as fast as possible, You’re the self-absorbed girl I saw in the blue Prius hogging the left lane on 101, oblivious to other cars who want to pass. You’re the oh-so-cool dude on Highway 87 zipping back and forth between lanes in your little toy hot-rod Honda with the silly tuned muffler. And you’re the jerk in the gray pickup who cut across the entire width of Highway 17 at the last minute, almost causing a big rig to jack-knife, just so you could catch your exit to San Jose. Are you clueless, ignorant, lazy, selfish, arrogant, or all of the above? Look … you’re not in a movie or a video game. You’re not any more important than the rest of us. So grow up, get a clue, and show a little respect for your fellow drivers. Personally, I don’t care if you kill yourself with your stupid stunt-driver antics. Just don’t take me or anyone else with you.
