Sometimes it seems like the main objective of many drivers is not to get from point A to point B. It is to become enraged, aggressive and abusive if anybody gets in front of them or acts like they want to get in front of them. Sometimes it also seems like the main use of an automobile is not as a means of transportation, but as a weapon.
Popular psychotic driving maneuvers include the "question mark", where somebody zooms around you in a (questionable) move shaped like a question mark just so they can wait in line in front of you at the red light ahead.
Another trendy move is "peeling out straight from the right turn lane." Or its more dangerous cousin, executed from the left turn lane. Bonus points for complete disregard as to what is going on with the rest of traffic so multiple people have to suddenly brake into a near-skid. C'est magnifique.
Our driving habits are, for the most part, sad, and indicative of a disturbed society. The courteous driver is out there, but there seem to be few sometimes.
It helps, though, to think of those reckless drivers as altruistic. Just think of how generous and selfless it is of them to divert police attention away from you.
