The New Age...

Sure we all complain about how bad, generally, asian drivers are (i can't exactly defend my cultural hemisphere along those lines because we are, admittedly, pretty bad), and especially asian women drivers. BUT, there is a new subculture on the rise that threatens to surpass, by leagues, even the worst asian female driver on the road...and they are coming, or are already in, a neighborhood near you--if not already in your nieghborhood or on your block.

The Prius Driver

Yes, these gas-saving, tree-hugging, anti-large corporation, obama-voting contingent provide the next great nemesis to a peaceful day on the road. They are the ones that don't understand that when you merge, you merge every other car to make things go smoothly. They always insist on letting one other car in before then to screw up the system. They are the ones that drive in traffic with a 20 car length buffer between them and the car in front of them so that every car getting on the freeway gets to cut in front of the both of you. They are the ones that clog up the fast lane even during non-rush hour times because they think the carpool lane belongs to the people with the stupid yellow stickers on the bumper. They are the ones that only seem to understand the written rules of driving...like the guy who studies a sport, knows how the game is played, but never plays it...except Prius drivers play the driving game...and play it REALLY BAD.

I'm not sure exactly how to classify them because outside of driving a Prius, the individual drivers have many different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, preferences, and what not. The only thing they seem to have in common is lack of driving sense and an abhorrently ugly car. This is a strange phenomena that like minded road nusances find road havoc in similar vehicles, but as many things in life, the empirical data is undeniable, and like many things in life, it is truly quite irritating.
