Well, "Mike Cook" who is a painter (his truck has his logo, his name and "when lines count" on the side)...not really a great example of how you want to drive among your potential client base.

I often see contractors and what not in and around TV. I can say that Massey has some very polite drivers in their vehiles, as does Century Link and many others...but, this idiot (who then turned right just before Lowes) should give a little though to how the public and potential customers perceive him.
Mike was probably late to his next appointment? You know the saying time is money and bumper to bumper on 441 from stop light to stop light wasting his time.

Don't get me started on obnoxious drivers. You know the one's that pass you in the right lane then swerve back in the right lane, slam on they're brakes and turn in front of you using their blinker as they turn making you slam on your brakes. Or the ones the stop at roundabout when NO traffic coming, then they coast through 4way stop or stop so far out in the street they impede traffic from the left. Can't stop the ones setting at stop sign or light look right at you then pull out in front of you and poke along. Or the ones that won't use their Blinker lights in heavy traffic! need I go on......and on....and on.....
