Driven to DISTRACTION

- JEREMY CORBETT

I'm a bad driver and I'm getting worse. Not in a dangerous way. My skill set behind the wheel is intact and I still have my defensive driving instincts. Everyone is safe, it's just that I've become a less pleasant captain to travel with. A bad driver in the sense that my passengers can't wait to get out of the car.

Because for some reason, probably age, I have started commentating out loud about other people's behaviour on the road. This seems to have coincided with an increase in their bad driving, the net result being an almost constant stream of yelling, criticising, mocking and correcting. It's one that's becoming more and more polluted with blue language.

Of course there hasn't been an increase in bad driving, just a reduction in my tolerance for anyone else's.
