Now before sending me hate mail saying that people in your
areas
don't drive like this, just remember, I'm about the worst
driver
there is! This is all in good humor folks. You'll probably
chuckle
until your state is mentioned.

HOW TO IDENTIFY WHERE A DRIVER IS FROM:

- One hand on wheel, one hand on horn: Chicago

- One hand on wheel, one finger out window: New York

- One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly
on
accelerator: Boston

- One hand on wheel, cradling cell phone,brick on
accelerator:
California. With gun in lap: L.A.

- Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake,
quivering in
terror: Ohio, but driving in California.

- Both hands in air, gesturing, both feet on accelerator,
head
turned to talk to someone in back seat: Italy

- One hand on latte, one knee on wheel, cradling cell
phone, foot on
brake, mind on game: Seattle

- One hand on wheel, one hand on hunting rifle,
alternating between
both feet being on the accelerator and both on the
brake, throwing
a McDonalds bag out the window: Texas city male

- One hand on wheel, one hand hanging out the window,
keeping speed
steadily at 70mph, driving down the center of the road
unless
coming around a blind curve, in which case they are on
the left
side of the road: Texas country male

- One hand constantly refocusing the rear-view mirror to
show
different angles of the BIG hair, one hand going between
mousse,
brush, and rat-tail to keep the helmet hair going, both feet
on the
accelerator, poodle steering the car, chrome .38 revolver
with
mother of pearl inlaid handle in the glove compartment:
Texas
female

- Both hands on steering wheel in a relaxed posture, eyes
constantly
checking the rear-view mirror to watch for visible
emissions from
their own or another's car: Colorado

- One hand on steering wheel, yelling obscenities, the
other hand
waving gun out the window and firing repeatedly, keeping
a careful
eye out for landmarks along the way so as to be able to
come back
and pick up any bullets that didn't hit other motorists
so as not
to litter: Colorado resident on spotting a car with
Texas plate.

- Four wheel drive pickup truck, shotgun mounted in rear
window,
beer cans on floor, squirrel tails attached to antenna:
West
Virginia male.

- Junker, driven by someone who previously had a nice car
and who is
now wearing a barrel: Las Vegas

- Two hands gripping wheel, blue hair barely visible above
window
level, driving 35 on the interstate in the left lane with
the left
blinker on: Florida "seasoned citizen" driver, also known
as
"no-see-um" (or could it be Marge Simpson?)

- Two hands on the wheel, driving forty-five in a seventy
mph zone
in the left lane, with the left turn signal on, and making a
right
turn: New Mexico resident (as anyone who has ever driven
through
this lovely state can attest)
