A HERETIC I AM

67. Pal, I'm one of the safest drivers you would ever come across

That is the result of having an inordinate amount of patience for utterly clueless drivers. I'm the truck driver you pay absolutely no attention to whatsoever, because I am in the right lane, doing the speed limit and I am constantly aware that I might be holding someone up and do my best to minimize that.

As far as clueless drivers are concerned...

Perhaps you are one of them?
