Rain isn't the only annoying thing on the roads ...

Today is Saturday and it is raining and dreary and cold. What else is new in New England? No such thing as spring; we've stopped hoping. It's winter then straight to summer.

I'm beginning to think I may have to be prohibited from driving. My patience level drops each time I get behind the wheel. Why it still drives me insane is beyond me.

Why do people hover in your blind spot? Does it give them perverse pleasure to know that you cannot move over because they're hovering or are they just self-involved and oblivious to the fact that their holding position in your blind spot traps you in the lane behind the car operated by the driver who clearly believes it is Parade Day and driving over 15mph isn't allowed? Not only are trapped and fuming but the Hoverer refuses to speed up even when you slow down.

Oh and what about the driver who cannot bear to leave a space unfilled? There is a nice comfortable full car length of space in front of you and the driver in the next lane thinks this space is too much to resist so he jumps over in front of you and immediately slows down.

Yes, I think I need to stay home with a hot cup of tea and catch up on movies.
