Lliam · Accepted Answer

I don't do it often, but every once in a while I'll eat something like a sandwich or burrito while driving. And, when doing that and have to use both hands for a moment, I'll steer with my knee.

I often drive with one hand on the wheel at the 4:00 or 8:00 position.

If I need to talk on my phone, which is rare, I'll put it on speaker. But I never take my eyes off the road.

I always make complete stops at stop signs or when turning right on red lights. I am courteous and obey all laws.

My biggest vice is driving faster than the speed limit. I always drive a reasonable speed, but don't pay much attention to speed limits. For example, if I'm in a residential area or a school zone (when the school is empty, like at night) where the posted speed limit is 25, I will drive whatever speed I judge to be safe. I don't even look at the speedometer.

On highways, I always drive just under 10mph over the speed limit. A cop will almost never give a ticket for that speed. If traffic is moving much faster than the speed limit, I'll happily go along with the speed of the fastest traffic. I drive safely but I'm capable of handling a car. I HATE people who clog up traffic because they refuse to exceed the speed limit.

My road rage. It's going to get me killed one day.
It's not so much rage as I'm guided by my own sense of rights and justice.
Like I hate it when people don't use their turn signals so like if I was waiting at a stop sign of a 4 way intersection and a car was approaching. He's clearly slowing down and intends to turn left but either doesn't signal or signals at the last moment. I'll cross right in front of him right before he gets there. It's a real duck move. And putting us both in danger but I figure " hey if you're not going to follow the rules of the road why shod i". My hope is it gets him to start using his turn signal. It probably doesn't but hey it makes me feel good for a couple minutes.

I kind of have a bad habit of starting to make a left turn when a pedestrian hasn't quite left the sidewalk; or they just started walking but I didn't really notice them until I'm turning in that way. So then of course I have to stop, and then I'm blocking the oncoming traffic. Or I zip past them before they get to the middle of their intersection.
I wave, shrug my shoulders, "Oops, sorry!" They don't seem amused. 🙋‍♂️👋

I catch myself speeding sometimes. I blame it on the song that's playing ;)
I also curse. You've already seen my opinions here, I curse sometimes. But behind the wheel the cursing is actual anger and stuff. Doesn't help at all, but it just happens, I should stop that

AndrewMG · Answer

So almost picking up hooker on my driving test? So on my test my instructor asked me to pull into a layby, so I pulled into the layby, and then without warning he asked me to drive away! I looked in my rear view mirror and realised a lady of the night was stood there looking for potential customers, I'm not sure if that is classed as a minor fail! lol

humanearth · Answer

Drive a stick shift, talk on CB Radio, smoke a cig and drink cold coffee all at the same time.

Dont use turn signals

Love to drive the same speed as someone else on the freeway to hog the freeway so people can't pass

Sit at a green light and wait for it to turn yellow. Then go forcing the next person to wait at a red light

Do you need more

Massageman · Answer

Lack of patience, particularly with idiots (obviously not any GaGers).

I'm certainly not going to be one of those people who shoots someone for being a poopiehead driver, or because they wear a puce hat, or because they beat me to a parking spot: they just aren't worth it. But, doggone it - - - - they surely ARE irritating!

Ez-Bri-Z · Answer

I can't remember names very well, so because of it I stopped reading posted signs of any kind just because I couldn't remember the names of the streets anyway. I rely way too heavily on GPS or my wife navigating me otherwise I will get lost super easy.

MORPHEUS_12 · Answer

I have a strong dislike for slow and elderly drivers. I have a penchant for alerting people they are going to slow buy getting behind them with my emergency flashers. Then they look up at me from their side mirrors and either get out of the way or speed up. Works every time.

abc3643 · Answer

Bringing my wife with me so she can give play-by-play on my driving and micromanage it making sure I realize that everything I do is wrong - including the setting on the climate controls and radio stations.

nolabels · Answer

My internalized annoyance at the bad habits of other drivers. Ulcers, you know. They're terrible for one's peace of mind. It's gotten better. Now I just laugh at them.

DaveToo · Answer

As a former racer, I used to drive quite a bit over the speed limit, but usually only in 55 mph zones, where I would do the double nickel, certainly not in populated areas. On 65 mph highways, I still drive 74 mph. Most cops will not pull you over at that speed.

Pushing cars through an intersection with my truck when they sit at a green light talking on their fucking cell phone, jerking off, doing make up, whatever.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Random thought. I would suggest everyone get an in car video camera. These cameras are inexpensive and can save you when done asshole causes an accident and blames it on you. My friend just went through this when a ghetto queen said he ran her off of the road. She went on and on with her lies while my friend just sat there. Once she FINALLY shut up, my friend told the trooper "I have it all on video". Result:. Ghetto queen charged with reckless operation--accident caused.

I don’t drive but my dad gets annoyed with me when he is in a busy intersection or road and I ask to change the radio station or to turn on the radio and sometimes we argue over what place to rest at during long road trips.

Probably just the fact I often take very sharp turns.
Safely since I check my rear views on both sides before doing it, but I have incredibly sharp reflexes and use them at times, which scares (some) people
