Back when I was in college, I took a Traffic Engineering course. The professor, who was a registered professional engineer with lots of real world experience, told us that when you're stuck behind slow moving traffic and you're cussing women drivers, don't jump to conclussions until you get to the problem driver.

Chances are it is just a little old man in a hat.

He swore that when is driving skills deteriorated, he would never drive wearing a hat.

Less than a week after this lecture, I was driving down a 4 lane arterial (2 each way) with 2 cars side by side going 10 miles an hour below the speed limit. When one slowed down enough for me to get between, I got a good look at both drivers.

Both were little old men wearing hats. :ek:
