Shoulder Passer

Hey.  Stop and think.
I'd like you to explain to me if you really think it's okay to pass cars on the shoulder in traffic or if you actually believe that you are better than everyone else.
I really want to know.  Tell me.
Your actions represent a failure in society.  The DMV has failed or your mother and I have.

Look, everyone is waiting semi-patiently for their opportunity to get out of the cluster-f that is traffic on the 15.  Then some switch goes off in your head, "The Prince of the 15 deserves better than this!".  Then you get onto the shoulder and proceed to drive past your minions shouting, "Make way for the Prince, rabble!"

If we're real, you'll probably drive by a sweet old lady that thinks to herself, "Oh.  I bet there is a medical emergency in that car.  I bet someone is going to have a baby!"  But when you drive by 94% of the others, they lose a little bit of faith in America.  There's probably an occasional Russian that identifies you as the reason that communism didn't work.

Here's the worst part: 2% of the people that you drive by are just as big of jerks as you, but just lacked leadership and self-initiative.  Now they're passing on the shoulder in traffic also.  It's not enough that you have to be a jerk within yourself, but you are actively making the world a more obnoxious and selfish place to live in.

Shoulder passer, you've had enough dinner.  Go to your room.
