What Kind Of Driver Are You?

[Neo Deist]

Speed Limits:
1. Balls to the wall!
2. Maybe 5-10 over.
3. I do the speed limit.
4. I drive a little slower than the speed limit.
5. WTF is driving?

Stop Signs:
1. No cop, no stop!
2. I slow to a crawl but don't come to a complete stop.
3. I stop completely, make sure it is clear, then proceed.
4. I fall asleep at stop signs.
5. WTF is a stop sign?

Tailgating:
1. I try and push people out of the way!
2. I keep maybe 15-20 feet between me and the car in front, even at 80 mph.
3. I keep a safe distance so that I have a good reactionary gap if something were to happen.
4. People pass me left and right because I am slow.
5. I only tailgate at football games.

Merging Traffic:
1. Oh hell no, they can get behind me!
2. I might let them in, depending on how they look...the hotter the better!
3. I am courteous toward all vehicles, except maybe 18 wheelers.
4. Anyone can get in front of me.
5. I am the only car on the road, WTF is merging traffic?

Blinkers:
1. WTF is a blinker?
2. I use mine sometimes.
3. I always use mine.
4. I signal for the person in front of me so that the person behind me knows to slow down.
5. My dashboard lights blink on and off.

Tweeks.


Everyone is crazy cept me.

The only thing I don't do is tailgate. Everything else depends on where I am and what I'm doing. In town I tend to drive the speed, make complete stops, and follow the rules carefully. Out in the country, I tend to drive way over the speed limit, stop only if there are other cars approaching the intersection, and drive by my own rules.

As i am driving again after massive TBI from an accident, it is less than surprising that i may
be overly cautious ....

My brother was in a wreck that cracked his pelvis, shattered his hip sockets, and broke his left femur. He will admit you'd think it would have slowed him down and made him a safer driver, but it didn't.

My wife will attest that my ability to drive her crazy is more potent than any attempt to deal with cars, traffic, stop signs and blinkers.

My driving goals.....
- Cautious
- Efficient....avoid braking, try to make green lights, efficient routes, roll thru stop signs when the coast is clear
- Drive speed limit, generally
- Keep minimum 3 seconds behind the leading vehicle
- Anticipate patterns
- Use blinkers, & even signal trucks (with lights) when OK to merge
- Let others in line ahead of me

OP omitted the most important item -

I know how to make a left turn under all conditions.

I'm not quite this cavalier. Occasionally I notice that mine is on and shut it off.

What are these "blinkers?" Around here we have head lights, "brights" which are the high-beams, and "flashers" which are the emergency lights.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

A non-driver. Never learned how to drive. I take the bus and cabs.

Good!
Have you ever used in in an emergency?

I also carry an air mattress & sleeping bags rated down to -40.
But the coldest I've ever slept in was +20F.

It is made of that weird recycled cardboard. I am certain it will absorb vomit.

You should test it!

Why do you carry a saw? I get the four jacks since you drive trucks, the mechanics creeper, air pump (I have one but I need to replace it because it doesn't work worth a damn), but a saw? I even think the torque wrench is a bit of a stretch (actually, rather, too expensive to just carry with me), and I can understand a drill for those last resort "**** it" moments when a quick fix using a drill and some bolts could be useful, but that saw really has me wondering. Is it just a part of your regular tools?

Saws.....
I carry several different kinds. One never knows when you might need to cut branches, loose pieces of exhaust system, mangled fenders (from exploding trailer tires), etc.
I once had a tree fall right in front of me. (Lucky it didn't fall on me.) I cut it up & cleared the road for myself & the traffic behind me. I've also had to clear overhead branches out of my way when going off road.
Torque wrench.....
I had a wheel fall off once. That cost several days & couple thousand dollars. Torque wrenches are cheap.

It gets even more obsessive.....
I carry these (personally modified) for when I have to drive thru muddy fields.....
