i actually DO drive any of my personal vehicles like...well..... an old man...always did (most of the times)
i'd sometimes "gas on it" if the "coast is clear". but, otherwise, was careful as i had to respect my CDL
i am NOT a good backseat driver however.
if that's what the o/p means.......lol
and now, with a regular operator's license..??
they'll never take me alive......!!NavigatorWife, FlaSwampRat, Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -
I can sense the hostility, from other cars, in a hurry. I get accused of tailgating, by the worse 2 tailgaters I know. I think they’re paying me back for my criticism. I defiantly do not tailgate. I can’t stand my wife’s driving, hit the gas hit the brakes. Transmission banging, makes me cringe. Occasionally I get crazy, and run 5 mph over speed limit. I always make sure someone around me is driving faster. Don’t need a ticket.

for the past 2 to 3 decades now, people are rushed, harried more and more in thier daily lives. the job is a pain, ferrying the kids all over the place for the different after school activities, and ther personal errands have pushed many people into the aggressive driving/road rage we see.
it's like thier cars are their only "quiet place" and they get ticked off when ever anyone invades that space.
this is where all this hostility comes from, thier daily lives. as i have been retired now these past few months, believe me, i ain't in no hurry to get no place.
i either leave early (i always did), and i just take my time driving. i ain't no slouch, but i at least stay AT the speed limits, as i nary have any reason to go much above.
i actually many years ago, read an interesting article on todays drivers, and much of what i just said, was in that article.
pressures are all around people these days, that they snap all too quickly.
and those pressures are not all self inflicted.
listen to your spouse when he/she talks about how the job was that day, and you will see how anyone can be so aggravated......uh...like us truckers....eh..???NavigatorWife, Rideandrepair and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -

Driving is a subconscious activity for car drivers. That's to say in the car, behind the wheel their primary focus is everything but driving. They drive with the part of their brain left over after all other activities they are doing or thinking about take their slice of the brain. Also they have been driving dangerously for so long it only seems dangerous if they drive extra dangerous on some day. But, since the rest of the world's driver actively avoid them, and they end the day without a neck brace & on an ER examine table they conclude their inattention is sufficient to keep being a safe driver.
