Mittens On The Motorway

Saw a man on my commute this morning. Seemed a normal individual from my car lane to his. Seemed. My commute is, at this particular stretch, usually stop-and-go where 25mph feels like light speed. So why, why did this man don driving gloves; professional, black leather, thin, driving gloves?

How many people wear driving gloves? For their 9am commute?

I feel confident he was not filming an action scene for a blockbuster or even a home-made film as no camera was in sight. Plus he never got above 20mph.

But still, from my window to his, on both hands, driving gloves.

It wasn't even a convertible. It wasn't a vet. It wasn't a mini. It wasn't sporty...at all.

Why would he do this to himself?

Why would he do this to me?

Driving gloves?
