3 for Thursday 8/7/03
( internet )- What are the 3 driving laws you see broken most often?
- Most obviously the speed limits (55 mph is a joke on Rt. 3)
- Not using blinkers on turns or lane changes.
- Rolling stops at stop signs or lights.
- What are 3 things that drive you nuts about other drivers?
- Following people at 2 cars lengths or less on the highway.
- Not following proper merge etiquette (if more people did this, there'd be a lot less traffic)
- People who go straight in right/left turn only lanes
- What are 3 things you do while driving that you shouldn't - or if you're a perfect driver, what are 3 things you think others shouldn't be doing while driving?
- I'm guilty of speeding 90% of the time (though I'm hardly the fastest person on the road)
- I occasionally eat breakfast in the car, which is a slight distraction
- I don't do this, but people who talk on their cell phones the entire time they're in their cars and they don't use a headset.
Bonus: Have you ever experienced or seen a bad case of road rage?
I think I came close to the other day. I was taking a right, and a guy coming in the opposite direction cut in front of me taking a left. I made a gesture about my disgust in the fact that people were blocking access to the second lane, but I think he thought I was motioning to him. I saw him trying to pull up next to me a couple times later and he didn't look particularly happy.
Bonus-Bonus: Are you a "backseat driver" when someone else is in the driver's seat? (like your significant other or a family member)
I don't tell people how to drive, but until I feel comfortable with someone, I will often flinch if they get closer to another car than I normally would.
