Greased Lightnin'

I have classified drivers into the following three categories: 1) Defensive Drivers 2) Well-Balanced Drivers 3) Gung-Ho Drivers. Now I know these classifications sound pretty stupid but it was all I could think of, so if you think you’ve got better names go ahead and let me, though I doubt you will (just incase you do… I’ll delete your comment Mwahhahahahha!!!)
Anyways, Defensive drivers are the people who clutch to the steering wheel like it’s a winning lottery ticket, they also have a knack of stepping on the brakes about twelve metres before the car in front of them (which forces you to abruptly apply more pressure to your brakes). These types of drivers are the least dangerous that you will encounter on the road, but with this most of them have a complete lack of knowledge of traffic laws (i.e. you’ll almost always find them driving on the left-hand side of the road, which is supposed to be the fast lane, driving at an exhilarating speed of 50km/h).
Well-Balanced drivers are a minority in Egypt, in-fact they’re almost extinct. These drivers tend to be the drivers who drive according to the situation they are in, if traffic is moving along slowly then they’ll drive with care, if its moving at a nice flowing pace then they’ll move with grace and speed. In most cases they use their indicators when switching from lane to lane will not exceed 100-120km/hr. I consider myself to be this kind driver.
Last but not least, the Gung-Ho drivers. These are the ones that you really have to try and stay clear of. You know the people who try to maneuver themselves through busy traffic or that are trying to break the sound-barrier? Well that’s them. It wouldn’t be so bad if these sorts of drivers could acknowledge that there is a pedestal which makes the car slow down, but no, they seem to be under the illusion that the roads were created for them and them alone.
I think I’ve basically categorized drivers here in Egypt, I’d like to know if anyone else has other opinions. Also, it would be nice to know what kind of driver you consider yourself, or what kind would you consider yourself if you drove.

Just a small question to test your general knowledge, does anyone know what the title of the post is from?
