I'm a pretty defensive driver. Keep a nice cushion of space and plenty of room for idiots to do their dumbass things. Leaves me lots of space for people-watching, too. (And horn blowing, which Shawn will attest to.) Today driving to Tampa I saw two exemplary cases of dumbassedness on 75.
The first was a guy in a pick-up driving with his German Shepherd in the truck bed. Now doing this on backroads is one thing (that I'd still never do) but going 70?!? He gets a gold star. Poor poochie.
Second, a deputy driving in the left of 3 lanes, probably doing about 85, and there is a woman behind him completely tailing him. Next thing I know, she pulls into the middle lane and proceeds to pass him! Not an unmarked car, but a cruiser complete with lights and whistles. Which were quickly turned on to pull her over (thank goodness!). Not paying attention? Glutton for punishment? Hot for cops? Either way, she hopefully learned her lesson that passing a police cruiser on the right going about 90 might mess with your plans for the evening.
