Its having to be stuck behind the average female driver. Now as a disclaimer, somewhere between 10-15% of female drivers are great drivers, in fact better than most male drivers. They don't have their head stuck in their cell phone, act like they have a complete football team of snively ten month olds on board, or just have their fearful head up their ass, and require oncoming traffic to be at least 100 metres away before even thinking about pulling out into traffic.
As a truck driver I sympathize with you John.
But I have noticed that in recent years there is a high percentage of male drivers (I refuse to call them MEN) who exhibit the same behaviors. As well there is an increasing number of people who say they are "scared of the interstates". Evidently fast moving traffic frightens them.
Fucking scared rabbits is what they are! They don't travel more than 10 miles from home, do so with ridiculous overcautiousness that borders on paranoia, and many times are all but frozen in place by their irrational fears.
Those who DO travel the interstates are oblivious to anything more than 3 feet away from their vehicle. Probably because they have a death grip on the steering wheel and are singularly focused on getting to whatever place they are going.
