Anyone that knows me will remember that I tend to be a very opinionated driver. This is most likely because I know that I am, of course, the world's best and most perfect driver (wink wink). I find that there are several types of drivers that are specific to Cape Cod. Their names are similar to other drivers, but they are a wholly different creature.
The first is the Lookilou. This driver has no idea where they're going. They are the most common of these creatures, but are usually only out and about in the height of the summer season. These drivers are amazing in that they now have some amazing technology at their disposal. They drive expensive cars and SUV's equipped with GPS, OnStar and other devices that should ... in theory ... help them to get around. But this species of driver seems to prefer driving aimlessly pointing at houses and eventually being perplexed by the rotaries on the Cape.
The second is the Creeper. This driver is most prevalent during the leafing season in the fall. They are out during the spring and summer seasons, but the Lookilou and general summer congestion tend to mask their effect. This species will consistently drive ten to twenty miles under the posted speed limit. There is no particular age group that comprises this species of driver, however older members of the population are the most common.
The last group is the Confused. These are elusive creatures that many on may not be actually a myth based in coincidence. This group tends to be specific to Route 28. These creatures are the ones that you find locals shouting, "Route 28 is the name of the road ... NOT THE SPEED LIMIT!"
Sorry for the rant, but please understand that I have on occasion been an unknowing member of all three species. As have we all. I hope this gave you a chuckle ... drive safe out there, summer is coming.
