Interesting Survey

No tickets for me, no accidents...spotless record.
Careless? For sure. Cautious? Hell No!. Law Abiding? Don't even consider it. Considerate? No one matter but ME!!!!!



So where would I fall into?

[Muscletang]

I'm going to be like the 11 people before me and say I'm above average. I say this though because it has been said that kids who have played video games from a young age are better drivers by 20%.

I have the reflexes of a puma so I'm pretty much the best driver here.

Plus, I learned how to get SL55's completely sideways which traction control left on, that's gotta be worth somethin'.

my mom is an above average driver then, according to this poll. But she is scared shitless in the rain and snow. She thinks she is going to hydroplane at 35 mph with her 500$ tires when it starts to sprinkle. She does NOT understand the idea of countersteering. Let her car fishtail and she will steer the wrong direction. The police and insurance companies consider her an above average driver.

Me though... I speed when I know I can get away with it, I can control my car like its part of me, and I drive safe when I need to. I have been followed by cops a zillion and one times... of those zillion and one times (of being followed), they have never come up with a reason to pull me over. They get bored because I drive too perfect, and they leave me alone. But, Ive been caught speeding twice. One time I was delivering pizza, and was in a hurry, so I was going 55 on the highway. The cop tagged me right as I was coming around a really long turn... that was over the limit and I got a ticket. I got pulled over another time, but I didnt get a ticket. Since August 02, those are the only times I have been pulled over. Since August 02, I could have been pulled over at least 2,000 times. I'm too quick for that. I think my ability to avoid cops, and not get caught for speeding makes me a good driver. That paired with my driving SKILLS, not my insurance RATING, I know Im an above average driver.

This poll should be, "Are You A Law Abiding Driver?" Because I know I am able to drive better than the average Joe. Im not voting.

i've had my drivers liscence for about a year now, and ive had no tickets or accidents yet. Most teens get a car accident or at least a ticket their first year of driving, but i havent. im above average for my age group at least.

[indyram]

I consider myself an above average driver because I have a clean record, my insurance company thinks so, I have logged over 1 million miles, and I take 2 16hour defensive driving courses a year for work.

Raz hit it...I was a an above average driver for awhile. I mean, if the law aand insurance hasn't caught u yet, then can u still count urself a good driver???

I think some clarification on the definition of "good driver" is in order; everyone seems to be of differing opinions as to what "good" means, and I think it's based on point of view.

Does good driver mean:
1) law abiding
2) no tickets
3) low insurance
4) safe
5) puma-like reflexes (I liked that one )
6) experienced
7) race-trained
8) traffic awareness
9) having taken safety classes
10) some other meaning?

So AST what did you mean? I believe it's an overall combination of factors.

I think I'm an above average driver. With 26 years behind the wheel and having driven near Washington, DC for several years I am aware of my surroundings, usually follow the law, have low insurance costs, and haven't had a violation in a few years.

Yes, I've had accidents, and learned from them. I've gotten scads of tickets (almost all for speeding) and learned from that too. I've been to driver training classes as an adult(result from too many tickets)

When I was 16 I thought for SURE that I knew how to drive and that other people on the road were dumbasses. Now I STILL know they're dumasses but am much safer than at 16.

I pride myself on being a safe driver; no accidents, one ticket and that was 5 years ago; according to the state of Florida, I'm a "safe driver." And I know I'm better than everyone else b/c I look well down the road for hazards, I even look for nails in the road so that I don't run over them and puncture a tire. Only thing I wish is that my insurance company would reward me for my safe driving habits, but I guess I'll have to wait another two and a half years until I turn 25 to wait for a decrease in my premium. It's not fair that I should be classified w/ all the other jerks who can't drive and cause millions of dollars (correction, billions) in auto collision costs. A new standard should be made so that I don't spend countless thousands of dollars a year b/c I'm classified in a genre of "wreckless" drivers.
