[QUOTE="Allen, post: 455255, member: 389"] This has surely been a fun read, much like it is every time the topic comes up. For sure, we rarely understand what the other driver is thinking. For example, on my way into Bismarck today, I had the misfortune of getting through the local roundabout right behind a road grader doing about 25 mph in a 35 mph zone. Courteous fella pulled over onto the shoulder of the road to allow me to pass. Good on him! About a mile farther down the road, I ended up behind a Jeep with a driver who then chose to go ~13 mph below the posted speed limit for the next several miles while I was unable to pass because of oncoming traffic which was moderately frustrating. After a few miles, that driver turned onto a 4-lane highway with a 55 mph speed limit and quickly sped up to 60 mph. Even now, several hours later, that pattern of driving still doesn't seem to make any sense. Who knows, maybe he was having a breakfast burrito during his slow driving, and then had to rush to an outhouse? Like I said, it's sometimes really hard to understand what people have for reasons they are driving the way they are. I am going to guess based on some of the above posts that at times we are all the cause of frustration for some other driver. I try like heck to be courteous to my fellow drivers, and even then I have expletive laden questions every now and then. Driving just seems to be a microcosm of life in general. [/QUOTE]
