How a person drives tells you exactly what kind of person the driver truly is. Does the individual signal? Does she drive slow and hog the left lane? Is speed, tail gating and incessant lane shifting the modus operandi for the obnoxious cowboy driving a beater or is speed up, slow down the way to travel the environs of America? The variations are endless as the thought process is inevitably revealed in the kinetic art of driving. One must be in the flow to drive safely without the goddamn cell phone enticing you while happy motoring on god forbid I-95 because driving is serious business without question.
Stream of conscious and then some.
After the service, yours truly was a chauffeur for 6 months driving people, in their cars, to destinations in NYC. I was good at it. In NYC, you knew the guy saw you when he cut you off. It was ok as NYC drivers, for the most part, are sane and they know when you know when they cut you off. It was the code. The unwritten law in the city ... you cannot be a wuss. In Boston, it's incompetency 101. They do not know how to drive. Maybe it's the layout. NYC/Manhattan's a grid, Boston, chaos incarnate. Lastly, try to buy a stick shift car in America. In SF, automatic's mandatory but in just about any other reasonable terrain, stick is ok. Besides, it's the perfect anti theft device known
