Hurrying to get nowhere

I am an older driver. This last week alone I had three incidents when merging into the right lane. The first time I found a nice space, signalled and inched over. The female driver gunned her truck ahead and cut me off, giving me a dirty look as she sped by. The second time, a woman test driving a truck did the same thing. And the third time I managed to merge with lots of room, only to have the male driver of a work truck speed up behind me and honk his horn.

No wonder that our fair city has so many accidents.

What has happened to us that we are in such a hurry to get nowhere?
