The Predictable Motorist

Everyone's a Formula One Driver

There are many nationalities that drive on Spain's roads, but they have all blended into one predictable personality. He, it's usually a he, can be counted on to do the following things:

-As we go around the roundabout he will cut across rather than follow a semi-circle path. The car in the extreme right lane can fully expect to be cut off by the driver in the lane next to him when entering the straightaway.
_ The driver in the extreme left lane, especially when there are six lanes, can be expected to cut across the other lanes because he wants to go to the right. The driver in the extreme right lane can also be expected to do the reverse.
-The driver who overtakes you just ahead of an exit can be expected to take that exit.
- The driver who overtakes several vehicles in a row can be expected to then exit the highway in full view of everybody he just overtook.
- The driver who overtook every car, truck, and motorycle he came upon can be expected to reach his destination, only to sit down and put his feet up.
-The driver behind you will overtake you just because?
-And, when he is finally booked by the police for something ridiculous and loses his license, he will ask with great indignation: "Why Me?"
