It's honestly astounding how more people don't have daytime driving anxiety from shit like this.

I've seen people use the left lane more for a NASCAR track fresh outta the Indy 500, only racing for that ticket instead of a...well, whatever they win.

The power trip created by speeding is a hell of a drug.

For some folks, it's the only authority they experience all day.

Does everyone really need to get home 5 minutes sooner? So they can have 5 more minutes to stare at their phone on the couch? There is no logic to it, it's an adrenaline rush... And it causes many deaths. My cousin was killed last month by a speeding driver who lost control of their car on the interstate.

My mother hates going out. She'll do it, but that doesn't mean she'll enjoy it. Shit's just gotta get done. But that doesn't mean she's going to rip 80 everywhere she goes. Same with me--I want to get home too, but I don't feel like dying in a two-ton death machine just to do it, thank you.

Really sorry about your cousin, though. My mother got into a bad car accident with a speeding driver that fucked up her back and her knee for life, so I can sympathize.
