With some of these aggressive drivers, it’s not so much about getting there faster as it is about showing off.
When I was a teenager I worked for a short time for a company that
did house to house soliciting for the people t meet with a company salesman to pitch their product (siding, an extra thick longer lasting painting, for houses).
One day there was no room in the car for all of us who were going to go knocking on doors to get to the area we were to be working that day so I had to follow them in my own car.
They drove down the road at breakneck speed swerving into and out of traffic and I could barely keep up not loosing them.
Finally when we got there the arrogant driver said “I had to slow down for you, you are just not a real driver”.
It was all about him being Mr “Indy 500, race car driver”, not about getting to work any faster and he didn’t care who elses lives he put in danger and thought his own was as safe as if he were in bed since he was
“so good” and thought it would have been impossible for him to ever make a mistake and cause an accident.
