ESL Podcast 691 – Dangerous Freeway Driving

　　I do a lot of driving in my job. You would think that driving several hours each way would get old really fast, but I have ways of making an interminable drive seem much more exciting.
I like to drive fast on the freeways. I usually pass all of the slower cars by staying in the passing lane. When there’s a slow-moving car in the passing lane, though, I tailgate it until the driver moves over to another lane. If the driver doesn’t move over, I weave back and forth¹ from one lane to another until I get around it. What can I say? I just don’t like anyone to keep me from the open road.
Sometimes, I encounter another driver who likes to drive fast and we have a drag race. I know how to bird dog the other car until I see a way to speed up and overtake it. That’s why I almost always win.
As you can see, I know how to spice up a boring drive. I hope to see you soon – on the road.
