I know that I'm intolerant of bad drivers. , I can't help tailgating and honking at people who cut me off. I let them know they are driving badly. I have to let them know. pulling up behind them and honking is not wonderful driving behavior either. I think it helps, and anyway, I can't help it. I'm just unable to control myself. I'm very much under control when I see people change lanes without using their turn signals. In this case, I drive up alongside them, roll down the window, and yell, "Turn signals, Buddy. Use them!" this is hard to do on the highway, I have a very strong voice, and I can make it work. The thing that I am absolutely intolerant of is people who talk on their cell phones as they drive. it is something I also do, but when I do it, I'm very careful. These jerks I see talking and laughing as they go down the road are not being careful at all. I help them out by tailgating them until they put the phone away. This is, I think, my duty. I am a sort of highway missionary, bringing the wisdom of my own experience to bear on the defective driving behaviors of others. I'm a teacher, a role model, and a friend. I yell and honk and tailgate out of love. I think we are all better off for having me out there helping drivers improve. I should probably get some civic award for service to the community. the truth is that I just can't help it.
