Well, I drive a VW panel bus to work every day. My experiences:
1) Every other driver - no matter how much of a POS
they're driving - thinks they're faster than me.
2) If I'm approaching an intersection and the light
turns yellow, I slam on the brakes immediately if someone is waiting to
turn - they'll pull out in front of me 99% of the time.
3) No matter if I'm in the ultra-slow lane(dutifully
following the hats), everyone blares on their horns as they pass as if
it's my fault that traffic is crawling.

Where's the justice?
