10 Types of Drivers You’ll Encounter on the Road This Holiday Season
The holiday season has arrived, bringing with it one of the busiest travel periods of the year. Like many, I’m making the trek back to my hometown to join in on family traditions and celebrations. However, the distance is just right—too short for a flight but long enough to make driving an all-day affair. After years of this journey, I’ve come to expect a variety of colorful drivers along the way. If you think life is about the journey and not the destination, you clearly haven’t driven across states on icy roads during the holidays!
- The ‘Turn Signals? What Are Those?’ Driver
Here’s a fun fact: those blinking lights on your vehicle aren’t just for decoration. They’re meant to signal to other drivers that you intend to change lanes. Not using them can lead to some unpleasant surprises for everyone else on the road. - The ‘High Beams Are Always On’ Driver
High beams can be useful for spotting wildlife at night, but if you’re tailing me with those lights blinding me like an alien spaceship, I may just end up careening off the road. Seriously, ease up on the brightness! - The ‘What’s Cruise Control?’ Driver
Some people prefer driving without cruise control, which is fine—until you can’t maintain a consistent speed. If we’re playing musical chairs on the highway, that’s just not cool. - The ‘Speed Limits Are for Other People’ Driver
I’ll admit to bending the speed limit a bit, but there’s always that one driver who seems to think they’re on a racetrack. It’s almost gratifying to see them pulled over by the cops up ahead—almost. - The ‘I’ll Pass You Just to Exit in 10 Feet’ Driver
I get it, you’re in a hurry. But when your exit is right there, do you really need to zoom past me just to cut in front of me? Patience is a virtue, my friend! - The ‘Merging at 30 MPH is Fine’ Driver
Merging onto a busy highway at a crawl is the equivalent of jumping onto a moving treadmill. It’s dangerous and frustrating for everyone involved! - The ‘I’m Using You as a Pace Car’ Driver
This isn’t the Tour de France! Riding my tail isn’t helping either of us. Pass me or back off; I don’t want to feel like I have to speed up or slow down just for you. - The ‘How Dare You Pass Me!’ Driver
We’ve all felt that pinch of annoyance when someone overtakes us, but it’s just part of driving. However, if you speed up to block me from passing, you’re just asking for a serious eye-roll. - The ‘Left Lane is My Domain’ Driver
The left lane is for passing. If you’re going the same speed as the car next to you and blocking my way, it’s time to rethink your lane choice. - The ‘Movie Time for the Kids’ Driver
I see you there, entertaining your kids with movies in the backseat of your fancy minivan. While I’m not mad at you for keeping the peace, it does make me a little dizzy trying to see what film you’re playing. Enjoy your family time, but let’s try to keep it safe on the road!
Remember, these characters aren’t just limited to guys; they come in all shapes, sizes, and genders. So, as you hit the road this holiday season, keep an eye out for these drivers and have a safe journey! For more tips on your journey to parenthood, check out this great blog post.
