  • Everyone thinks they are the better driver...

    ...as is evidenced by the exchange Hubs had at work with a couple guests.

    Hubs was finishing checking in the first one.

    Guest1: "And make sure you tell the guy behind me to get off my ass!"

    As the second guest pulls up to the security gate:

    Hubs: "How are you doing today?"
    Guest2: "I'd be doing a lot better if that guy would drive a bit faster!"

        When the GF tailgates at 70, I am gripping the door handle in fear of my life and she is a maniac.
        When I do it*, I am maintaining a perfectly safe distance thankyouverymuch, and she is over-reacting.
        *According to her, anyway.

          Somehow speed feels different when you drive or sit by. Once had a friend beside, two guys back seat and drove carefully as usual on familiar narrow road. Then backseat told me to slow down... "THIS AIN'T A WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP".

            I once saw a survey:
            75% of the drivers surveyed felt they were in the top 10% of drivers.

              I hate not being the driver.

              This includes when I tagged along with a truck driver for a week*. I really, really wished I had a CDL-A so I could take over.

              *To be fair, the guy is a phenomenal driver with 28 years experience driving a semi. He handled that truck better than most people handle their cars. I just hate not being in control.

                    When someone is tailgating me, I have a tendency to slow down to a few miles below the speed limit. 1) Because I hope they'll become frustrated and pass me, so they are no longer riding my ass. 2) Because if I have to stop suddenly, they're obviously going to rear-end me, and I'd rather that be at a slower rate of speed than faster.

                    So to dude #2, maybe YOU'RE the reason she was driving so slow, jackass.
