Sunday driver

Sunday driver

An aggravatingly slow driver. Likened to one out for a leisurely "Sunday drive." For the most part, I like the relaxed attitude down here. But I absolutely detest all the Sunday drivers on the road! It took me nearly an extra hour to get home because I got stuck behind some Sunday driver.
