Are you a crazy driver?

Was driving today, and was watching the most erratic driver ever in front of me, and it was a middle-aged woman too. She was pulling in and out of lanes, weaving through cars, and I thought she was bound to cause an accident.

Are you a crazy driver?

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

Sometimes. If I see another dude or chick my age driving like that I like to play along too. Other times I'm late or angry and can't handle people cock blocking me so I cut people off and leave them behind.

other times I just pump the stereo and go a few miles under the speed limit and stay in one lane. Jus cruzin.

I drive calm and relaxed, but I am an aggressive driver and I usually drive 5-10MPH over the limit, sometimes more on the freeway mainly because it is only 65MPH here in Utah on the interstate and I usually go 75-80MPH.

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

I drive very calmly, but assertively. Emotion doesn't have any place in making driving decisions. I drive as cool and collectively as possible. The only time I end up driving what others might view as "aggressively" is if I get "in the zone" / in the flow / integrated. Then you just do. But it's not based on aggressive emotions. It's based on the incredible high you feel when you're one with your vehicle.

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

I always drive fast, and i do tend to weave between traffic. Not in a dangerous, loony way, but it's a bad habit nonetheless.

When I have just filled up on gas and know I've got an entire week's supply(sometimes a bit less ) I'll drive like a nut having fun and feeling the torque of my car going 0-60 just to chirp second gear for that ever satisfying on my face.

I also tend to drive a bit aggressively when I have a girl in the car. Those sexy Asian girls who tend to usually date guys with Hondas don't always have the priviledge of being thrown into thier seat at half throttle

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

Well.. when I'm driving I usually try and get there as fast as possible without driving like crazy, so I'll accelerate hard, drive fast, and pass cars. But if it's really heavy traffic, I'm not going to be weaving in and out just to get one car length ahead.

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

I'm an aggressive driver, i usually don't let shit slide either.

ESPECIALLY when it's a women or an old person... Cause they've proven to be the worst drivers in my area.

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

I'll drive fast (sometimes) but will never tailgate or squeeze through tight spots. Doing that is just looking for a wreck. I try to adjust my speed so I have as much space as possible all around me. No accidents for over 20 years!

Re: Are you a crazy driver?

-Forgot to mention that, about traffic. Ever see people in traffic "swiftly" cutting through cars, at like 20mph. They don't realize that they will get there no sooner by doing shit like that.

I can see passing people if they are driving slow..that's justified. I think everyone has been behind some 17 yr old girl in her new G35 yapping on the cell phone in the fast lane doing 50mph.

Im like AlmostStock here.. except the 20 years driving experience.

I drive fast and furious, but not like the movie, I do weave in and out of traffic but trying to keep it safe too, I tend to speed as well and never tailgate, I hate people who do that, I always keep a safe space from the car infront of me, enough for me to brake atleast.

If I see people weaving in and out of traffic in my rear view mirror or something, I box em in.

I have only had my car up to well between 125 and 130. I ran out of road.
