We never notice most of them, because only a few other drivers stand out from the crowd. Yeah, yeah – share the road, and all that jazz. Some of those drivers – well, if it were up to you, you’d lock away their keys. Where are the cops from “Cops” when you need them? Instead, you note these drivers’ presence and live to tell the tale.
