    Default Bad driving habits....

    I never realized I had bad driving habits until my best friend fussed at me today about it.

    I sit in the car.....I fix my makeup, I am on my cell phone (all the time), text messaging, playing with the navigator system, changing cds, eating, and jamming to music. While I was doing this, I was driving in NY traffic. I was in the fast lane, and I was driving 50 MPH. I had tons of cars honking at me, and I am just jabbering on the phone.

    What are your bad driving habits? We all have em, Don't be shy!

    Driving along side of, and watching beautiful women who apply makeup and go slow in the fast lane, when I should be watching the truck that stopped in the lane in front of me.

    I am on my cell phone all the time, listening to music, eating, and fixing my hair all at the same time while I speed like hell. (I just did that today.)

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

    I have road rage, and can never seem to go fast enough. I am constantly passing people, and swearing and honking at people that get in my way. I swerve all over the place, and am usually busy looking at myself in the mirror instead of the traffic in front of me.

    Dropping ammo for my SIG 9mm on the floor of the car while trying to get a good shot on drivers like RD that make my blood boil.

    Excessive speed. I commute 35 miles one way.. I drive 95-100, I know I know.. I dont' need a lecture.. and the stupid asses in the left hand lane, don't move over and drive like 35...

    On top of my excessive speed, I crank my music to an ungodly level, and usually am going thru voicemails, and gabbing on the phone... and this is all usually done at 630 am or 7pm when its dark out..

    I am crazy...

    I know I drive too fast even when the weather isn't that great. Always clicking away on the cd changer (luckily I have the controls on my steering wheel). Talking on my cell phone. Following people too closely when I want them to get out of my way. Using whatever dirty tricks I know to get out of traffic.

    Still tailgate a lot, eating, trying to catch up to the hot girl that just passed me up or QQing at the hotties on the sidewalk.

    probably cursing at people who piss me off! I'm sure I'm not a perfect driver and sometimes I'm a bit spacey but I HATE tailgaters. I just posted in another thread about how it peeves me how many people with "pro life" license plates drive like crazy people. I almost got run of the road by a dude with "REAL MEN LOVE JESUS" written in huge letters across his back window. You should have heard the string of stuff I called that man, not that he heard me.

    I tend to cut people up a lot when im drivig, i don't know why but driving can sometimes bring out the worst in me.
    I also hate it when I wana get somewhere quickly and there is always someone who wants to drive extra slow and hold up traffic, that just gets to me big time.

    I'm a pretty safe driver, despite the fact that I despise other drivers. I'll take an occasional sip of my coffee while I'm driving, but other than that, I pay attention. I'm an extremely defensive driver (you have to be in the NorthEast). If someone tries to cut in front of me, I speed up so that they can't. One arsehole was riding my tail one a one-lane road once. I made him regret it. He sped up and tried to pass me in the oncoming lane. I sped up and kept going. Along came a car in the oncoming lane. The idiot had to pull over into the other lane's side so that he wouldn't hit the car coming down the road. I'm pretty sure it scared the shit out of him (and the other car needless to say). Oh well, don't piss me off while I'm behind the wheel.

    So yeah, I'm an angry driver. I guess that's my bad driving habit.. Heh.

    I'll confess to some eating while driving or fiddling with CD's (getting an MP3 compatible CD player has helped the latter), but thats really the worst of it, well except for cursing out other people (four letter words, raised middle fingers, honking, you name it) for their bad drving habits, or driving anywhere near me if I'm agitated enough.

    Amongst things other drivers can do that will bring upon my wrath:

    Talking on cell phone
    Not Signaling (both for turns and lane changes)
    Excessive Weaving
    Driving too fast behind me
    Driving too slow in front of me
    Tailgaiting me
    Passing me, pulling in front of me, and then slowing down to the point where I'm tailgating that car
    Oncoming traffic spaced just close enough where I can't make a left turn.
    Running red lights.
    Holding me up just so they can get a prime parking space.
    Driving a car with an obvious oil problem
    Driving a car with a diesel engine.
    Peeling out
    Driving an SUV, full sized pickup, or minvan (pretty much any high profile vehicle). I can't see around them while backing out of a parking space.

    I'll keep my complaining to a minimum if the guilty party is a hot chick. There's something kind of sexy about a hottie with a devil may care attitude behind the wheel. Esspecially one who isn't too shy to flirt her way out of a ticket. I kind of envy the cops in situations like that.


    I'd like to get metal studs put on my quarterpanels to help "negotiate" my way through parking lots a little better. An RPG launcher on the roof to take care of those Sunday drivers wouldn't be bad either, but I think the DMV would say no to both.

    So if you're applying your make up, or text messaging while driving through cow country and you see someone in a green Pontiac givng you a hard time, hey, its nothing personal.
