That sounds excellent, except for the sentence "I am an extremely aggressive driver". ;-) OTOH, you didn't say what an aggressive driver does. If you mean tailgating NASCAR-style, that's obviously stupid and dangerous yet all too common. But if you mean holding back and then finding an opportunity to pass several slow cars all at once, that's what I like to do too.
