Sunday motorist

Unhurried weekend driver

A Sunday motorist is someone who drives slowly, hesitantly, or obliviously—as if out for a leisurely weekend drive rather than navigating real traffic.

The term is mildly derogatory, suggesting the driver lacks urgency or awareness: Some Sunday motorist doing 45 in the fast lane held up traffic for miles.

Also called a Sunday driver.
