Better. I get on an entrance ramp. See that some meatball has stopped at
the bottom of the ramp. This moron is gong to have the devil's own time
getting on the freeway with zip for acceleration space. I slow way down
about a hundred feet back and wait for brainless to finally get a break and
get on. Moron #2 comes up behind me in a pickup. Passes me on the grass,
drives down the ramp and parks directly behind moron #1 at the bottom of the
ramp. The fool could see over my car and could have seen moron #1 stopped.
Now I have two of the idiots holding me up. Moron #1 eventually gets a
break. Moron #2 is still waiting. If he'd given it a moment's thought
instead of passing me, we could both be on our way by now. Arrrrrrrrrrrrg!
Then you have folks with crap hanging from their mirrors, busily swinging
around training their brains to ignore sudden movements off to the side...
It's kind of a wonder we ever get where we are going in one piece.
