Driving in Dallas, as in any major metropolitan area, can be very trying at times, but it can also be a time for reflection. In my many years of experience I have noticed certain types.
First, there is the right lane hugger. This driver stays in the right lane of the freeway come hell or high water. He drives at ten miles below the road speed. He is fiercely defensive of his position, and appears to travel in groups. Crossing this flock, whether entering or exiting the highway is akin to crossing the Berlin Wall.
Next we have the driver who lacks commitment. No wonder the divorce rate is so high! How can one be expected to commit to a relationship when you are not able to stay in your lane for more than five seconds? These types believe the grass is greener in the next lane. If you are on a date and he is a frequent lane-changer, don't send out the wedding invitations just yet. The irony is, that in doing this, they slow down the lane they move into, and speed up the one they have vacated.
Finally, we have the berserker. Berserkers were warriors in ancient times who, in the heat of battle, would, for lack of a better word, go berserk. They would fling away their clothing and dive into the middle of the fight. The modern berserker is similar. The driver will be proceeding smoothly in traffic and then...IT happens. They make the lack of commitment driver seem to be a wimp. The berserker will change multiple lanes at once, rapidly accelerating and decelerating as needed. No reports as to whether they shed their clothes.
