An AH? No. Taking foolish risks? Most definitely.

I drive fast. I’ve taken several defensive driving courses. Once upon a time, I had my NASCAR license. Never would I consider driving with flashers going or flashing high beams. Just makes other drivers angry and can blind them.

A few years ago, my grandson was airlifted to Palmer Children’s Hospital after an automobile accident. No one could tell us what his actual condition was. To say that I drove to Orlando at a high rate of speed would be putting it mildly (made it to the hospital in 37 minutes). Where traffic was light, I picked my lanes and floored it. Where traffic was heavy, I changed lanes when possible but I never cut anyone off, I never tailgated, I didn’t flash lights or honk my horn. The point is there are times when we feel there is a need for speed (rightly or wrongly) but even then you need to be careful and not terrorize other drivers.
