I was driving home late last night, around midnight and the roads visibly icy. The speed limit read 90km/h, but feeling safer, I remained at 80km. I was literally the lone driver on that stretch of road. I glanced up at my rear view mirror, when I noticed a glint of light in the distance. I thought nothing of it and returned my attention to the road, continuing my trek homeward.
Within seconds, there was a streak that flew past me at an incredibly high velocity. I could make out the Suburu logo on the back of the vehicle before it disappeared into the distance. I was traveling at ten kilometers under the speed limit, but I'd estimate their speed at a whopping fifty or sixty kilometers per hour above it. They were certainly driving well beyond the safety parameters for what road conditions would dictate.
It's situations like this where I hope, in some dark recess of my mind, that I will come upon their wrecked vehicle, smoldering in the ditch, a dreadful result of their brashness and complacency for their environment. Sadly, this was not the case and as such, this smug bastard will continue to drive like a madman, endangering all of us unfortunate to share the road with them.
