[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are narcissistic. [/quote]

Funny I feel it's the exact opposite.  The clueless drivers who think as long as they're following the "rules" whatever is happening around them doesn't matter, are the actual narcissists. [/quote]

They DGAF about anyone around them. In fact, I think some find pleasure in being the "left lane monitor" and holding up traffic for miles.

So it's weird I think of myself as kind of an aggressive driver but not a 'policing driver' which I think is an entirely different beast.

I like to get where I'm going and I have no tolerance for slow/incompetent drivers. They super annoy me. So I will weave around them. Or if a jerk driver does something jerky I will REALLY lay on my horn.

But I would NEVER like, track down a car to show my displeasure. [b]Or ride the left lane at a slow speed to teach people a lesson. [/b]My aggressiveness comes from a combination of enjoying fun driving and not wanting people to slow me down.

I think the road ragers are not quite the same as the aggressive drivers, or at least they're two distinct flavors of the concept. [/quote]

I don't think these are the "aggressive drivers". More like passive aggressive.  :lol:

I am similar to you. I like efficiency and find it disturbing that so many people aren't aware of what's happening around them. They should be watching the flow of traffic and placing themselves in the correct lanes. If you want to drive slowly, fine, but stay in the right lane.

I think of my car as a water drop flowing down a rocky stream and I look for the path of least resistance. Around here, since so few people get the "stay right, pass left" concept that requires a lot of weaving.

I love that metaphor! That is how I think of it too. And I get almost peaceful zen like satisfaction in executing a smooth passage through a trafficky section. It's like a puzzle. I am constantly monitoring the cars and their habits around me and identifying problems or trends in the lane speeds. There is nothing more satisfying than picking the PRECISE right moment to change lanes to what was a slower lane to maintain pace. [/quote]
