how's my driving? 1-800- DONT TELL MOM

as some of you know i enjoy driving, the cost of gas is a contentious issue, but nonetheless, i love to drive. and my friends and the youth can attest to the fact that i'm am overall a "good" driver. but don't try to tell my mom that, i was driving us home from church today and she said driving with me causes her to hold her life in her hands.
i drive a v4 vehicle, the pick up is slow, and the power, well, non-exitent, and the braking system is great, so when a car is in the left lane driving too slow to be legitimately in the left lane, i tend to "drive close" or change lanes more than once to get the guy to move, i won't honk though, that's just mean. and i thought i drove pretty well today, i kept a safe distance from the car in front of me, kept a close eye on my mirrors, had both hands on the steering wheel, sat straight, and my music wasn't cranked- i thought i did a good job....but not my mom, an old 90/91 honda's in front of me, and steps on the breaks (on a bridge- you're never suppose to hit the breaks on a bridge), i'm nearly 15 feet away from the guy, and my mom's like "slow, slow" and i'm like "mom, he's so far away" and then she goes on and tells me about how i can't know the power of the car, and when you least expect it you'll get in an accident.... and then we get closer as we near a red light and my mom screams "tyyyyynnnaaa, slow down" i'm like "mom, we're fine, relax!" and then as if she's about to meet her demise, she puts her hands on the roof of the car and yells "slow down!!!!" at this point i'm 10 feet away from the car and he's rolling because the light's turning green, and my mom's having a spazmatic attack thinking i'm going to hit the guy, he's on the other side of the intersection and my mom's hands are still on the roof of the car and i'm going 20k through a 50k intersection.
