You're a good driver. You watch the speed limit, remain calm, and observe not only the rules of the road, but also the etiquette. And since you drive so safely and so politely, you'll live a long time. Long enough to decelerate with each passing decade until you're one of those old people in a big car, going ten miles under the speed limit in the fast lane and making the rest of us mad.
Hey! Joe Average! You're a decent driver without being boring. You get where you're going fast without too much danger. In fact, you're the type of person we all like to ride with... Well, all of us except your
mother, because "you're going too fast! Watch out for that car in front of you! You're going to kill us all!"
Remember in driver's education class when they told us to drive defensively? You're the reason.
