Dec. 10, 2014. 6:20 PM (after dark). Shady Grove Road from Broad River Rd to Walnut Grove Subdivision. Imagine if I could telepathically communicate with the dumbo of the tailgating white Nissan Murano: Dumbo (accelerating at 5K RPM): Hey, you dummy in the wimpy Miata, why dont you accelerate harder? Im going to tailgate you even though the back says Driver Training. Richard: Look a hundred yards ahead: Thats a crowd of cars hitting their brakes. It makes more sense to coast than to go gas-brakes-gas-brakes... Dumbo: I dont look that far ahead, and neither do I care. All I know is youre going only 35 mph in a 45 mph zone. Step on it! (Flashing me with high-beam lights.) When the sign says Speed limit 45, that means you must go at least that fast. Richard: Im trying to do you a favor by pacing the traffic speed. Notice you havent yet even SEEN my brake lights. Im coasting because the gap in front of me is closing... it seems the fifth car ahead is waiting on oncoming traffic to clear past before turning left into Ashford. Dumbo: You idiot, because you refuse to drive faster, I have to hit my brakes again for the 3rd time. Youre a driving instructor and you dont even know how to drive properly! Your driving like a grandma is really wearing my patience thin. Richard: Ha! Even though the gap in front of me has closed to just several car lengths, theyre picking up speed again and I have yet to touch my brakes. Dumbo: Go faster! Idiot! Richard: Im halfway from Ashford to Walnut Grove. Im coasting now, and applying my left signal really early so that you can expect my gradual slowing for the sharp left turn into the neighborhood. I do apologize for being a safe, efficient, and predictable driver. Dumbo: Why are you using a turn signal? Turn signals are not needed in South Carolina. Hey, why are you driving even slower? Youre supposed to keep your foot on the gas pedal right up to the moment you apply the brakes. Richard: If you have kids, I hope you send them to a good driving school so they wont learn your bad driving habits and copy your bad behavior. Dumbo: Im going to blast you with my horn just as I pass by your wimpy Miata butt! (Laying on his horn as he proceeds past.)
