I tend to drive, above all else, as if I was invisible - so basically no matter what other drivers do they can't influence me. That means staying far away from other cars where possible, which is OK with me - and works wonders for keeping a no-stress attitude on the road.
I don't know if it's just because I live in the ghetto now, I used to live in a more upscale neighborhood - but it seems like I see at least one driver per day now who's just opportunistic and selfish, where I know they aren't taking anyone else into consideration while they drive. It bothers me because I can only assume they're like that in their everyday life too, just "ME ME ME" .
I've seen
this bumper sticker on a few cars, and it pretty much just makes me want to disregard the worth of that person because they're already bragging about their disregard for everyone else. Sorry buddy, it's
not "all about you", we're a community like it or not and if you don't give back and give everyone else the courtesy of your care while driving, you're a parasite.
The worst I've seen lately was a driver in a beater Caprice, who I watched for a series of blocks pull the same move every single light - cut lanes without a blinker at the last moment, in front of someone else, brake swiftly, then their reverse lights would come on and they'd back up 10 feet. It looked like a practiced insurance fraud scheme, and what can we do about it? I only hope he tries that some time to a person in a fleet vehicle with a camera, or to a professional cage fighter with nothing to lose...
