definately don't fit into the 'teenager' group. Most people can't keep up
with me long enough to 'tailgate' me, and maybe it is the look of
determination on my face that ensures that people get out of my way. I
don't find myself intimidated by anything I may encounter on the road, from
18 wheelers on down.

them up at the last minute and don't bother to signal their intentions. Of
course that is not all!!!!!!!!! There are those people who will insist
on staying in the 'fast' lane, (that I encounter _when_ I _have_ to
travel on a four lane road) and when they decide to drive in tandem with
another like minded person, just because they happen to be doing identical
speeds, drives me to distraction. It is such a pity that Americans can't
adopt the practice of European drivers who put their headlights on to
advise people of a greater speed, and reminds them to get out of the way.
