7:20am: 7 types of annoying drivers.
Nervous Nick: This driver lacks confidence in their driving abilities and is intimidated by traffic and highway speeds. The "Nervous Nick" will always drive at the speed limit or lower and will not accelerate enough to merge safely with highway traffic.
Middle Lane Mike: Will head from the on-ramp directly to the middle lane and plant them selves there no matter how slow they drive or who is sitting on their rear bumper. They are convinced this is the best lane to drive in and they are the safest drivers on the road.
Overconfident Owen or Arrogant Andy: These drivers are usually driving in an aggressive manner. They are also speeding and changing lanes often. This aggressive driver feels they are more important than everyone else on the road. All other drivers are just in "their" way and should not be on "their" road.
Bored Bobby or Busy Betty: Usually found talking on a cell phone or chatting with passengers. Their mind will be focused on anything but driving safely. Even though they know the distraction of talking on the cell phone is dangerous, they feel their business is more important.
Solo Sandy: This driver believes they are the only one on the road. They rarely check their mirrors and have no idea other vehicles are near or beside them.
Immortal Ivan: Believes no matter what they do behind the wheel, nothing bad will happen to them. This driving symptom tends to come in the teenage years and can last into middle age if the driver makes it to that age.
Dangerous Don or Silly Stevie: These drivers believe they know it all about driving. They have been on the road for a number of years and have survived. To them, their experience means they are the best drivers on the road. All those around them are morons or crazy.
Smart Susie: The rarest of drivers. Understands that driving is the most dangerous daily task they will face and prepares for it. They focus on the task of driving and are always making driving easier for those sharing the road with them.

Pool Punishment
An Ohio couple received their sentence for rafting on a flood-swollen river without life preservers and lying about it afterward.
A judge sentenced them to stand in a tiny swimming pool while wearing life jackets and handing out water safety brochures at a festival in Painesville, 30 miles northeast of Cleveland.
The young couple pleaded guilty to misdemeanor misconduct during an emergency. Searchers spent hours looking for them last month after they were spotted on the Grand River. They made it to land but lied to an official about being in the water.
They chose the pool punishment and community service over 60 days in jail.
They've learned their lesson.
