I call a cab and tell him that if he gets me there fast enough, i'll pay him double (Never do this in real life!) Since cab drivers are already mentally unstable and are prone to major road rage, the prospect of additional money, coupled with the challenge, means that he WILL find a way to get me there in time, and he WILL do it, regardless of the absurdity of his actions.
Needless to say, i am DEFINITELY in the lead.
(BTW, there is no way in hell you will stop this cab driver from getting me where i need to go. He's a friggin cab driver! You can slow him down all you want, but he won't stop until i reach my destination.)
