Road safety and correct driver behavior

[concern2]

One of the things I hate most about what drivers do is cutting corners - especially when the road is so narrow they ‘eat’ into your path and don’t even put up their hand to apologize.


I think DH dislike tailgaters most.

Share with you one funny thing my FIL does when he sits at the passenger seat next to DH - he will step on his invisible brakes when the car in front suddenly stops :rotflmao:

My Dad did that when I 1st got my license and drove his car. Sometimes I even see his hand hovering above the handbrake. And the other hand, will be clinging on to the handle above the door. After sometime, I noticed that his knuckles had turned white. :rotflmao:

When I first got my driving licence and drove to Rail Mall, the front seat passenger could not stop nagging :gloomy: I parked the car head in into the parking lot. Since then I did not drive again.


Hubby could not trust anyone.

I also enjoy being chauffeured around, whether it is hubby or the public transport.

1) It is his car (his baby)
2) He is sitting on the front passenger seat.

Trust me, change either of these 2 parameters and you will have a much nicer experience driving in peace.

My dad used to be the intimidating one for me - but I guess that's cos he was the one who sat with me when I first knew how to drive. If DH had been the one, maybe I'll also self-terminate my licence

I recalled a nice theory on reading this......

If you see a man opening the door for the woman..

Either the car is new, or the woman is.. :evil:

When in my 20s, yes I drove fast. Especially on highways. 120-130km/hr at that time was possible, during off peak hours. And yes, I was driving a rather powerful car. Not a sports car but still one that had a pretty fast pick-up at a tap of the accelerator. I have used the horn and flashed the headlights at fellow road users in my impatience then.


In my 30s, I slowed down but still going at about 100km/hr on highways whenever possible. Yes still driving a car with fast pick-up. Hardly honked at anyone though did flash the headlights some.

Now in my 40s, I hardly go beyond 100km/hr. I am happy to plod along behind whatever car in front following whatever speed they are going at. Been driving my current car for coming 4yrs. I have never flashed the headlights at anyone and cannot remember when I last honked at anyone. Wonder if they still work.
