Coffee’s For Closers!

I drive about 35,000 business miles per year. Over the years that I have been driving this many miles I have gotten used to several things that used to upset me on the road. I have learned to be able to see what kind of vehicle is on the road who is driving it and I can usually tell you how they will drive and what they will do. Most of us that have put this many miles on each year can. However there are a few things that still really tick me off.

When I am traveling down a two lane road and someone is waiting to pull out and go the same direction as me. I will politely move over to the left hand lane so that they may pull soon than waiting for me to pass. In this situation there are many different ways it can turn out. The person waiting sees that I have used my turn signal and moved into the other lane and pulls out in the righthand lane and all is well.

There may be someone behind me that sees me pull over and knows what I am doing but this doesn’t prompt them to do the same and the waiting traveler is unable to pull out. Now maybe there is no one else on the road and the waiting driver doesn’t pull out till I have passed. Now this is a bit annoying but can be tolerated.

The thing that really sets puts me in orbit is when I move over so that someone can pull out and then they pull out but they still find it necessary to pull out in front of me. I really don’t understand how they can think this is a good idea or the right move.

  Do or would you drive differently if you have a company logo or your sales or contact information on the side or rear of your vehicle?

  When I do, I usually drive better and more politely. Sometimes though I drive just as fast as I would normally.

  I wouldn’t want a potential customer to think that I was waisting time on the road when I could be working on their issues.
