Here, drivers of advanced age are just aggravating to be behind, so I blast around them before they've had a chance to decide they want the lane I'm in.
The two groups who are most dangerous around here are 1) teenagers who haven't learned yet that you have to 'negotiate' traffic instead of just jerking the wheel in the direction you want to go in, and 2) pretty much anyone else using a cell phone. There are days (such as 2 mondays ago) where I was nearly killed twice in the same day, by the exact same set of circumstances. People here are bad about assuming that because their mirrors were clear 2 minutes ago, that must mean it's still clear. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY EXERT SOME EFFORT AND CHECK OVER YOUR SHOULDER BEFORE CHANGING LANES!!!! It's a shame that some people don't learn this until after they've killed someone.
