Driving is a stupid, stupid game

Driving. What the heck? I hate doing it now.

Driving used to be fun because I would...you know...speed a little. Speed a lot really. Then one day, my negligence caught up to me and I got a number of speeding tickets all in the same week. Needless to say that ended unfortunate for my 'still-having-a-license' status. After jumping through a number of hoops, and what seemed like six months, but was probably more like a year, I finally got my license back. Unfortunately for the 'Drive Alive' programme and the state of Ohio, no amount of drunk driving videos could stop me from speeding. So for a number of months after having my license back, I continued to speed with a heightened state of awareness as far as law enforcement goes. One day, I'm going about my normal speedy business on the freeway in unfamiliar territory. Of course, I'm keeping my eye out for cops and the like so I don't have any trouble, right? Wrong. I see some cops up the road a ways so I slow myself on down to avoid suspicion. I get pulled over any-dang-ways. THEY CAUGHT ME BY AIR. Nowhere is safe anymore.

So whatever, I speed in my neighbourhood because I know the area pretty-dang-well and no aeroplanes or helicopters catch me there. THEN A COP PULLS OUT BEHIND ME. What the heck? I wasn't even speeding this time. Maybe he's just going my same direction, but it's awfully suspicious when he doesn't use turn signals and is going everywhere I am. Not to mention, he was parked until I came along. The point is, everywhere I go now, I'm driving in fear. I want to say something like "I can't afford to have my license taken again..." but really, driving the speed limit is something I hate so much for no reason at all. Not having a license is actually looking better than having one right about now. I know, that really doesn't make sense, how else can I put it? The speed limit is like...it's like the 'No Child Left Behind' programme: it's a blanket solution for an individual based problem. People are stupid, this much is true, but do you really have to weigh us all down with it? I know what you're thinking "Oh, so you think you're so great with your superior reflexes and judgement on the road, so should be allowed to drive faster than the rest of us?" well, yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. I know that sounds egotistical of me, but it's like those smart children in elementary school who want to move onto the next subject but are weighed down by their classmates. Imagine if we had that same attitude towards athletics? The football players could be as good as their weakest member. Track runners could only be as fast as their slowest member. This is hardly a good idea for anything, so why the freeway, and MORE IMPORTANTLY: Why the classroom?

CONCLUSION:
Driving is a chore. Rules are stupid, and so are most people which is why nobody can reach their full potential except for the weakest and slowest of us. If you're feeling pretty good about yourself, it's because you're the reason everyone else is feeling terrible.

I hate everyone.
