Would you get offended if someone criticizes how you drive? Why/why not? Would you tell them to get out of your car?

Depends on if it is when I am driving Uber or just driving in my personal time.

If I am driving for Uber, yes it does offend me because a false report can be my job. I drive the exact speed limit because Uber now monitors our speed. Before they started monitoring us, I was ok going 5-10 mph over, depending on traffic. Their monitoring does not affect our rating yet, but I see it going that way. If a customer complains about unsafe driving, Uber actually investigates it and I better have been at or under the speed limit when that happens. So I do not speed even if the customer asks me to do so, which often happens with airport runs.

If I am driving in my personal time, I just drive however I want and do not care what anyone says. Also, I am more careful when someone is with me than I am when it is just me in the car.

It really doesn't bother me if they do. I just block them out and drive the way I drive.

Diving into the heart of your question without the scenic view of an image, getting critiqued on your driving is like someone telling you your flirting technique needs work – it's personal! I wouldn't get offended per se, because feedback, like a good date, can lead to better destinations. However, the way the critique is delivered matters. If it's all about love and safety, I'm all ears, baby. But if it's laced with negativity, well, that's a red flag. I might not ask them to walk, but I'd gently remind them that trust in the driver's seat, like in relationships, is key. Steering through criticism with grace and a pinch of humor is my go-to. After all, in driving and love, it’s all about enjoying the ride and arriving safely, don't you think? 😉

C'mon moderators. This is bunch of AI filler

[AviatorTom]

No. I appreciate it when someone makes comments about my driving. Sometimes, it reveals something I'm not aware of, like a car in my blind spot. I can always ignore what they say. My SO, on the other hand, hates it.

This reminds me of high school driver’s ed, when a girl I was asked to drop off made a snide remark, telling me not to hit the car I was pulling in behind. Um, when did I even come close to hitting another car? Shortly after, while in the driver’s ed classroom I was sitting in the front row with my legs stretched out as usual when that same girl passed in front of me too close and tripped over my foot, taking a serious stumble. She didn’t fall, and I didn’t mean to do it, but considering her attitude I didn’t feel bad about it either.

As they say " if the hate fits " , take constructive criticisms and learn , but certainly dont get annoyed , driving can destroy lives , its very important to not be so sensitive , there are plenty of drivers completely focused on incorrect actions , learn.

[Dinklex3]

Only when they can’t drive themselves or if I’m driving with my mother 😅🔫

whenever I drive with my mom she’s like “…. You can turn your blinker on now… Aren’t you going to turn on your blinker?” “That was NOT a complete stop! No it wasn’t! I felt it!!” “You need to slow down, I cannot read the signs if you drive so fast!😡”

My friends that know how to drive as well? I’m fine with it, lol.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

My roommate and I will bicker whenever we share a car. I say she drives like an old lady bc she never speeds, I always end up speeding a little. The difference is she’s been pulled over and warned twice, she won’t get a third warning. I haven’t. But it’s usually just dumb arguing anyway, nothing super personal

that tree came out of nowhere... for no reason whatsoever...

[Pinay_ako]

Lmaooooo

[NathanDavis]

lmao... we're good though, we both are

[MicahRaine]

I don't mind it. I actually appreciate it to an extent. That said, if they're critiquing me because they think you're supposed to stop at crosswalk even when you have a geenlight, yeah imma get a bit annoyed lol.

Driving is literally so easy just use your common sense and you'll be fine as long as you have some basic survival instincts. @Maryland

people without survival instincts (apparently 45% of the driving population), I'm sorry. Not for you tho. Just for everyone who deals with you t-boning yourself on the five cars who don't realize you're HER.

[MicahRaine]

Lmao that was fun to write

[OfDeath]

I think people do get a bit defensive about their driving. Just the other day I was driving along and there was a woman parked at the side of the road doing a motion that I interpreted as flagging me down for help. So I stopped and rolled down the window and she goes “you were going a bit fast”. That bloody pissed me off lol. I can’t remember what I said back exactly but it was a very sarcastic apology about going so fast that I was able to come to a complete stop for her 😂

[lightbulb27]

Generally no problem. My wife comments and she's generally right.. eg to slow down, take caution… its about safety.


Some people may drive differently as they have diff skills or risk tolerance. I just say thanks but not how i drive.

[ZackBan]

I usually point out the fact that I've never gotten so much as a ticket let alone an accident.

But then again the only person who criticises my driving is my mother. And there's no convincing her not to worry about me

[JCIrons]

My elderly mother is the only one that gets to nag me about my driving. But if anyone else doesn't like the way I drive, they're welcome to hoof it the rest of the way. I don't have to cart them around.

[DishLady]

I've never been critiqued for my driving -- I'm always the designated person... But I guess my mom must have critiqued while teaching me. That was a long while back.

[ManInChains]

I rarely ever have anyone else in my car. The only time I do is if I have to give a coworker a ride and they never comment on my driving. If anything I'm the one commenting on my own driving.

[Bricealan]

I agree. When I worked for Boeing, a guy came down from Seattle, and on the freeway, with four of us in the car, he was driving 85-90... Insane. Only once did I ride with him.

[camerum]

Offended yes, but that doesn't mean it's not without merit. I think myself a good driver and negative feedback can only help improve that for myself and my passengers

[dustybiker2]

My friend once told me I drive like a grandmother. I told him I could push him out and his odds of surviving would be higher then.

[Kaneki05]

They always start to scream when I say 'Vroom Vroom' while looking directly at a wall I don't know why tho?

[GOLDFISH_smile]

No, I don't drive so I wouldn't want to be in a car with me driving either lol.

[DrPepper12]

Nope. I'm used to everyone telling me I speed, tailgate and switch lanes too often. STFU and get back to Candy Crush. Never toss them out, that's d

[Drumlin2001]

Nah. I know my limitations. I'd argue with them and tell them they are welcome to walk. But wouldn't kick them out
