'Special' people are those who consider themselves too 'special' to obey the traffic laws that most of the rest of us work with on a daily basis.
Nah, I'm not talking speeders (though those kids with their little rice-rocket cars zooming through traffic certainly qualify), as nearly everybody speeds at one time or another.
I'm talking about people who:
- make a right hand turn from the left-turn-only lane across two or three lanes
- take their half of the road out of the middle
- change lanes without a turn signal or without looking
- turn suddenly into a street or driveway without a turnsignal
- mosey onto the freeway at half the speed of traffic, then suddenly accelerate to more than the speed limit
- stop in the middle of the street to have an unnecessary conversation, whether with their passenger, an oncoming car, or a pedestrian
There are other styles out there that make the list, but this will do for a start.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no clear consensus on reinstituting the old system of "heads on stakes at the city limit"...
