I Am A Hypocrite!

　
　
Yes, I am a hypocrite. Mea culpa. I’ve become aware of this fact, slowly and uncomfortably, over recent months.
　

And I am “fairly” sure I am not the only one. You are probably guilty of similar hypocrisy.

　
I’m talking about driving in general. And about momentary mistakes in particular.
　

　
I tut out loud when other drivers change lane, apparently at random, ahead of me around town.
　

I tut louder when the person ahead of me in the queue at the traffic lights doesn’t move off instantaneously when the green light glares.

　
And when someone continues around a roundabout in front of me, without indicating, therefore “cutting me up”, I have been known to say “You rotten swine!”
　
　
All of these are obviously capital offences, when I am on the receiving end.
　
　
　
But. I have driven through new places, not knowing the road layout, and had to change lanes rather unexpectedly.


I have been guilty of looking into the adjacent shop window at the lights, and realised with an embarrassed rush of guilt that I ought to be moving already.


Mind you, I always indicate at roundabouts, which probably makes me the Best Driver In The Country.
　
　
　
The point is, I commit the same hideous driving fauxes pas (sp?) that every driver does. You do too, but you maybe haven’t realised.
　
　
There ARE bad drivers around, but some of the bad driving we see isn’t malicious, it’s just people being twats. I’m a twat sometimes, and so are you.

　
Yes, you!
