Look people, if your car isn't running to par with the rest of traffic, please pull over to the shoulder or get off the freeway altogether.Our Highway A-hole today is a high school age boy driving a newer blue Subaru WRX, complete with a wing across the back trunk. He was in the number 2 lane driving 45 mph amongst traffic that was going 60 mph+. People were passing him on the left and right. He had his emergency flashers on constantly. As I was almost ready to pass him, the car ahead of me decided it would be a good idea to let the bloke over to the right. I agreed, he must be having mechanical problems of some type or why else would he be driving in the middle of traffic with the flashers on, right?
None such doin'. Even though cars started to leave the Subaru wide berth to slide off the freeway, or at least over to the right lanes where he belonged, he ignored the gestures and kept driving as I started to pass him... now at 40 mph.
Wake up people, look around you and use the opportunities offered to you in such situations. It will keep us all happy and safe.
