Driving

I've had my license for about 8 and half years already, and it still feels a little surreal that i have one. I mean, ever since 6th grade i've wanted to drive, but i still think it's weird for me to be behind the wheel. I'm not entirely sure what i'm trying to get at but, i just know it feels weird to be driving. lol.

I take the 405 south to get to work, and around time for me to travel to work, there's traffic. Once there's an open stretch of freeway, everyone guns it and ends up breaking because of gridlock. So, there was an instance today where the speed picked up, only to slow down again, and this was near my exit (Palo Verde Ave). I was in the exiting lane and the car next to me was driving pretty fast, i guess he wasn't paying attention to what was ahead of him because the traffic was starting to slow down, almost to a complete stop. He had enough time to hit the breaks without hitting the guy in front of him. I thought there was going to be a collision, so right when the guy swerve a little into my lane, i immidiately moved also. Good thing there wasn't a collision. Some people are really absent minded when it comes to driving, and that scares me.
