6 Different Types of Bad Drivers

May or may not have been written while I was driving.

6 Different Types of Bad Drivers
Alyssa Popolizio

After a long six-hour drive by myself I had a lot of time to observe other cars. I noticed the way that some cars stay in the first lane the whole ride, or how some drivers were able to eat and drive and only swerve their car around a few times. I’ve come up with 6 different types of drivers that you always see on the road.

1. The Speed Limiter

The speed limiter is someone that goes exactly the speed limit every single time they drive. They can usually be found in the first lane on the highway and right in front of your car every time you’re running late for something.

2. The Multi-Tasker

The multi-tasker is usually the type of person that you see swerving around their lane and sometimes ever coming off the road. No they’re not drunk, they’re just eating or texting or basically doing anything other than focusing on the road.

3. The Rusher

You’ll find the rusher either passing you on a back road, cutting you off on the highway, or pulled over by a cop (usually in that order too). They can be found in some type of expensive sports car that they brag to their friends about every time they see them.

4. The Honker

Let’s establish first hand that the honker has some serious road rage. Any little thing can set these people off. As soon as the light turns green you better start driving or you’re about to get an earful from these mad men.

5. The Grandparent(er)

These people are a lot like the speed limiter except they are about ten times worse. They’re the people that are going 30 in a 45, and when you pass them, and you are about to flip them a certain bird, you can’t help but feel bad because they’re old and can’t really help it.

(They are not to be confused with the first-timer, who's fresh from the DMV and who completely deserves the bird they're getting).

6. The Teenager

These types of drivers are a mixture between the multitasker and the rusher, a horrible combination. If you look in their car you’ll either see a ton of girls with the windows down singing (really badly) to some Taylor Swift song or a ton of guys with their arms out the window and their music so loud you can feel the vibrations from your car.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
