I love challenging other drivers, br if they succumb by speeding it br becomes a contest deciding br who’ll play chicken first - I’m in br my element in a battle of wills br br Waiting to turn into my street, the br oncoming driver deems he will br NOT slow down or give way, I turn br in a heartbeat with a miss of a br hairbreadth’s width br br Pedestrians stare me out while br crossing the street, I dare each br to try his luck, increase speed, fly br on adrenaline trusting perfect br judgement to swerve in time br br Good practice for reality, nerves br on edge ready to accelerate, duck br and dive - to all pedestrians and br drivers I say ‘Thank you for the fun, br I enjoy playing chicken with you! ’br br Margaret Alicebr br
