From one (former) aggressive driver to another, slow down and take your time!!!!!!

Back when I worked for my former employer, I had a problem of driving faster than normal, frequently cutting people off and tailgating. I couldn’t get somewhere fast enough. I felt like I had too much going on which made me rush from one place to another.

So here’s why I’m bringing it up now…

Last week, I was following another car which was driving the posted speed limit. Behind me, I couldn’t even see the headlights from the car following me which I disregarded. As we came to the intersection, the car behind me, pulled beside me and the lady could be seen yelling at me through the window. FOR WHAT REASON? I’m driving the speed limit, I haven’t changed lanes nor have I purposefully held anyone back.

I got over it and was retelling the story to some friends later on about that driver. She reminded me of a crazy dog in the front seat of a car in the  parking lot, just letting you have it. You know the one where you are walking out of a store and the gigantic dog is barking it’s head off at every  person that walks by. That’s what she reminded me of.

So look, I know we are all in a hurry sometimes and YELLING at the person in front of you seems like the right thing to do, BUT if you’d left 5 minutes earlier and hadn’t pushed the snooze button seven times, you’d be at work on time and wouldn’t need to YELL at anyone for your  mistake.

I don’t know why that person was yelling, but at 7:58 am, I have a good idea that they were late to work. To alleviate some aggressive driving, leave 5 minutes earlier than normal. Thanks and have a good day!
