So some of you may wonder, where are the pictures. Could you imagine if I was on the road taking pictures of all the stuff I write about...
I think that taking pictures while driving, or anything close would fit nicely into my "other things not to do in the car"
So, you won't ever see pictures of people cutting of driviers, or giving me the finger, or driving too slow in the carpool lane....

Speed Sandwich
So one time I was driving on the freeway, and I was driving behind this guy going pretty fast, and then behind me was this other guy keeping up to both of us... so I thought... I am in a speed sandwich! Now, this I figure is a pretty good place to be. If there was a cop sitting up on the road somewhere behind a tree or something, he would snag the guy in the front, right?! and if there was a cop on the freeway crusing up behind you, he would snag the guy in the back. He would be the first guy the cop would see. Leaving you (in the middle) to keep on going... Now if you get pulled over in the middle of one of my speed sandwiches, don't quote me on this theory... but try it sometime...

I'm so confused?!
Tell me the truth?!
Really... Tell me the truth! I pride myself on my good judgment, and my abilities as an assertive driver, but twice in the past two days I have been given the finger by other drivers.
Honestly, the first time I was getting onto the 23 fwy (one of my favorites =P) at Janns and this lady was in the slow lane. The fast lane coincidentally was empty, and she could have very easily moved over. So as I like to do, I was accelerating to traffic speed (as I do not like to drive 45mph on the fwy) and the lady was matching my speed, not moving over, not speeding up, not slowing down... she almost ran me off the road, and then gave me the finger.
The second time I was again getting on the fwy (and again because I like going faster than 45mph) I was getting up to speed, and I was coming up behind a tanker truck in the slow lane, so I got over behind another car. That car was coming up behind a slower car, so he got over.... does this sound finger worthy yet? Well I didn't want to be behind the slow car either, so I got over behind the same guy I was behind in the other lane. He picked up his speed (and rightly so, we were, after all, in the fast lane) and passed the slow car. He then swerved back through the #2 lane and half into the slow lane, and then back into the #2 lane.... so I thought "what a weirdo" again anything finger worthy? and then when I went to pass the guy (because I don't like to drive slow) there it was, the finger.
So I am asking you, tell me what you think and give me your honest opinion, does my driving warrant the finger?
