Sunday driver
Significado: A person who drives very slowly and cautiously, annoying other drivers.
A Sunday driver is someone with no urgency, puttering along well below the speed limit, often in the fast lane. The term comes from the era when people only drove their cars for leisurely Sunday outings. It's always used negatively by people who are in a hurry.
