My proverbial and literal eye roll of the night goes out to the driver of this brand new, very sexy sounding Mustang who came flying up on me, tailgated me briefly, then blew by me as soon as he could. This is a 45mph road, I was going around 45-50, so I’ll let you guess his speed. Anyhow, as you can see, a light a ways ahead of him goes yellow, and being the genius that he is, Mr. Mustang audibly speeds up. Like at most intersections, this one had left turners trying to clear it. Mustang dingus misses one of them by a margin far too small for comfort. I can’t judge how close they were from my distance, but I clenched my buttcheeks and prepared to witness a crash. Your car may be fast, your skills may be high, and your appointment may be about to start, but please, the road is not your racetrack.

Probably showing off... most people with sporty cars or loud V8 pickups do this.

You hush. Loud pipes save lives.

It does sound great.

However, I cannot condone that driving.

But Dude!, you can’t blow by some slow loser and leave him in your dust, only to have him catch up with you at the next light, yo! So you gotta kick in the warp drive and get through. What could go wrong?

Whilst driving spiritedly within ones skill level isn't a huge problem, taking unnecessary risks is. Basically, don't try to commit multiple crimes at once. It always ends badly.

The problem is for the majority of people(not discluding myself), their skill level probably isn’t as high as they think it is.

Yeah, people do tend to overestimate themselves. Me? I’m comfortable doing 70 in an open 55 zone, but not much more. It seems like some people think they're gonna set a land speed record, though.

I’m comfortable with going with the flow of traffic(which is usually at least 10 over), unless the conditions are bad.

Warp drive? Don’t you mean Vtec, bro?

Yeah, if it isn't open freeway I try to keep the spec differential between me and the traffic to at most 10 MPH. That gives me enough time to react to other cars.

Oh, right. Sorry. I’m not totally up on the kids’ lingo.

You’re never going to win your commute with an attitude like that. You probably won’t even podium.

Generalizations about a specific incident.

Sigh. Why does it always have to be a Mustang?
