but, if by impatient, you mean that i get pissed off when a$$holes move into an overtaking lane [e.g. on the drive back from buller] and use the whole 600m-1km of overtaking lane to overtake ONE car, letting no one else through, JUST slotting ahead of the car they're overtaking before the overtaking lane ends, then yes, i am impatient. but should we have to put up with that kind of driver oblivion and a$$hattery? i thought that driving lessons would have weened that out, NOT teach us to practice/ put up with it.
