The tao of driving

I'm not an aggressive driver. Really. Though my driving style as adapted to my surroundings, I don't drive like my hair's on fire, racing from stoplight to stoplight. I try to be aware of what's going on around me, including what the speed limit is. Last night, I was following someone who was going 10 miles under the limit. In a situation like that, the easy thing to do is to get frustrated. But no, you can't. You're in a 3,500-pound missile. No matter how little the doofus in front of you is not paying attention, you have to. At all times.
