masterrig 1 #26 October 8, 2009 I can't say I'm an excellent driver nor a bad driver or an aggressive driver. I would say that I drive 'according to conditions and traffic'. I drive defensively... I'll put it that way. I drove big rigs for over 25-yrs. and I pay attention to what I'm doing while driving. I stay aware of my vehicle and I use the mirrors. I watch the highway far ahead as well as a close proximity to my vehicle. Old habits die hard. I think, there are more aggressive drivers on the highways today, more than ever before. I think too, it's the aggressive drivers who have more 'problems' while driving. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues, Cliff Chuck I figured the term 'aggressive driver' would be self explanatory. The type driver I think of as 'aggressive' are those who speed and have no regard for other drivers on the road. That's just my opinion. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel99 604 #29 October 8, 2009 Quote Quote Quote Well, what say ye? Do your skills strike envy into the hearts of professional racers ....or fear into the hearts of all who share the road? My wife has 9 points on her license and has been on a driving awareness course and yet she swears blind that she is a more cautious and careful driver than me. I have a clean license and drive about 5 times as much as her. Quote I think good driving skilz is different than obeying traffic laws although both are needed to be a safe driver. also tell your wife, the cautious slow driving people are usually the ones getting nailed by everyone else. True it is just a source of amusement that she can make the claim.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

The cover story was about driving, and one of the statistics they used was: "80% of drivers are better than average"- - "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."

The median does not have to equal the mean... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
