Tailgating

It is ultimately so frustrating...

... To speed up every passing section on the highway... without fail... only to slow down once it's back to a single lane... without remorse...
... To never let yourself get passed... An innately human and oh so competitive trait the we have... this selfish gene demands one never get passed on the highway... one never get beaten... ever... and we have no control over it... it's the animal part of our instincts... look around... our school systems... our wars... this same story is written over the entire history of human civilization... keeping others down... keeping them behind you... rising above... making sure they won't make it to Calgary until after sunset... here is every dictatorship that ever existed... on display in the extremely mundane... right at that second... right as I'm already pulled over and driving beside them... they follow an instinct...

And talk about keeping the man down... cops choose these passing areas to run radar on... right at the very end... right as you're speeding to juuust pass that one last car before it ends... and again... To radar you at the bottom of a downhill section... as a vast majority of drivers happen to be in neutral coasting down to save on gas... picking up a way too much speed...

I'm just lucky everyone else was doing the same speed and I wasn't the one culled...
