An Atlanta friend refers to left-lane losers. When I’m on a long road trip (I have a very fast and powerful car), I’ll often find a senior driving 55 or 60 in the left lane. Not only does that enrage the drivers stuck behind, but exponentially raises the prospect of a rear-end collision because of tail-gating. When I see an 85 year old driving, I’m struck by the terror on their faces and the white knuckles. It must be a real ordeal for them; yet, I understand the desire for independence. Hopefully, self-driving cars will allow them their freedom without endangering others. After all, we’re going to be there ourselves in the not too distant future.
