After living in florida for a few years and seeing how terrible people there drive, and driving the interstate alot lately, has made me think of all the different driving personalities people have.
Today, this guy completely cuts me off, nearly ran me off the road in his P.O.S. Saturn, and I kindly give him the 20 second horn honk to let him know he's my new best friend, and the rest of the length of highway, he feels he needs to continuously speed up, slow down, pass me over, and over and give me the finger each time.
1)Left lane bandits- Seriously if you're not passing then get the fuuck out of the left lane. The line of cars behind you and other motorists passing you on the right should be a hint.
2)Slow mergers- So as I am behind you and we are approaching the highway at breakneck speeds of 40mph when the speed limit is 70mph I just have to wonder if I am going to survive this and not only that, but since I am stuck behind you I look like a douchebag as well
3)Variable speed man- I have my cruise control set and I passed you about a mile ago, but for some reason here you come passing me only to have me catch up and pass you again while never changing speeds. Then you see me passing so you speed up again until it becomes an endless cycle.
4)Challenger- I'm only passing you because you're going slower, but for some reason you see this as a challenge and now you're riding my *** and then passing me really fast then cutting me off for no reason. Somewhat similar to the variable speed man, but more aggressive.
5)Impatient passer- I'm passing a couple cars, but you want to pass faster and so you keep jumping into the right lane only to get stuck behind the car I'm passing over and over and just don't seem to get it.
6)Oh no a cop!- The speed limit is 70mph, but you believe that it is necessary to slam your brakes and drop to 60mph when you see a cop on the side of the road.
7)Mystery braker- There's no cars or obstacles for miles ahead of you, but for some reason you are hitting your brakes. Maybe you saw a bug that I didn't?
8)Nonconformist- If you're driving in South Florida and everyone is doing 80mph and yet you stick to 10 under the speed limit it is really making you the unsafe one. I know they might drive slower in Quebec, but you've really got to adapt.
9)The Tag-Along - You are at every gas station, rest stop, and fast food joint I stop at. For 500 miles you're right in my rear-view. Usually also a "Variable Speed Man."
10)Mr. Slow And Steady - I wonder how you get anywhere. It seems this guy drives without stopping--No gas, no food, no pee breaks; perfectly content to putt along at 55mph, indefinitely. You're the guy that I pass after my hour-long lunch break in less than 5 minutes after getting back on the freeway.
11)The Swerver - You're the guy that's constantly weaving around non-existent pot holes, dead deer, and fallen trees.
12)Mr. Angryman - Driving makes you mad. Really, really mad. So mad that you feel compelled to give me a dirty look every time I pass you, keeping your eye contact for as long as possible.

That's all I can think of for now. Please add to the list if you've got any of your own.
