You know you are a professional driver when...

You pull into a rest area and go into Semi area on vacation!

 

Guilty of that one a lot. Also trying to float gears or "hand before foot" a manual trans in a four wheeler has bad results, although I got it down pat in my CJ 5. Changing lanes on the freeway like an old man, getting in the rignt lane about a mile before the exit. The biggest thing, is that you find yourself thinking way ahead of time, which is not a bad thing.

 

Oh yeah. Everyone hates that riding with me.

 

You try to raise the seat in your car because it's to low or the rides rough
You take every turn way wider than you need to.
You slow way down before every light or stop sign.
You think your in reverse but it's actually first.
You float the gears in your spouses car till they tell you to quit or you grind.
You drive under the speed limit because it feels like your going fast.

 

every car feels like a sports car
yea .... no air ride seats
going through an In-N-Out drive thru feels like getting away with a crime

 

When you stop behind the rr tracks and you can move forward.I did that yesterday as a matter of fact.I forgot I was in my car.When u move back over in the hammer lane after passing someone and u make sure your invisible trl clears.When u go in the fuel island instead of the car side.When you make those wide turns for your invisible trl,lol.All this and more I do daily,lol.

 

My friends make a fun of me when they ride around with me in my little saturn...I take some really wide turns and they say I drive too #### slow... the wife says I drive too slow and am overly cautious....
all I got to say is I really hate the mirrors in any car now...they are way to #### small and the rearview mirror gets pointed to the ceiling (I would remove it but it has the ONSTAR) cause its always in my flipping way...LOL..

 

You go through the drive-thru at your local burger joint, and respond to the indeciperable voice on the other end with either "10-9?" or "Shaddup Stupid".

 

I use to be a ricky racer now i'm slower then snails in molasses in my car. and its my companies fault,lol.They have slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww trks and I do mean slowwwwwwwwwwwwww.

 

Almost peed myself laughing. He adds, "--or you tell them that they are modulating real bad and warn them to stop side-banding before you put a boot up their ###."

Driving with my trucker when he comes home is an exercise in patience. Last time, a light turned red, and he came to a stop almost a football field early. I used to drive all of the time, and now he refuses to let anybody drive. I have a little Honda, and he's CONSTANTLY banging his head and knees getting in (didn't happen before), and he ####### about the headlights pretty much every night.
