First of all, let my clarify daily driving, spiritual driving and racing are completely different issues which I hope all of you new that already (I don't mean insult anybody's intelligence, just playing it safe). This poll and post refers to daily driving only.
Why am I asking? Well, I'll cut through the BS and say while my gf thinks my racing and spiritual driving skills are pretty great, she commented my daily driving as horrible She feels that I treat other cars and pedestrians as orange cones which is so not entirely true Really, my driving habit has been toned down a lot throughout the years from very aggressive to occasionally aggressive. My face wouldn't even turn red if I had to say I'm a mild driver as I don't even drive over 70mph on the highway nowadays. Regardless, my other side shows only when driving within the city. Stupid drivers and pedestrians just piss me off
On a side note, I guess some of my driving behavior was developed from driving in Asia, makes me used to weave in and out of traffic. Although the roads are narrow in the far east, at least people there can drive. Unlike Boston, where a large percentage of people don't derserve their driver's licenses, selfish drivers causes most traffic jams by barely making the red light and get stuck in the intersection two car lengths later. Heavy traffic happens in HK all the time, regardless of rush hours but you won't get stuck for long. Why? Because you pay a heavy fine getting caught idle within intersections. Drivers were trained to be alert at all times and not blindly getting into jammed intersections just because it's green light. Don't get me wrong, I love Boston but driving is a total different issue.
Anyways, from my POV, it's necessary to drive aggressive at times thus making my ride quite jerky. Braking hard is also inevitable if you wanna get to your destination fast because you need the speed getting into possible openings. Maybe it's just my luck, I'm in heavy traffic at least 50% of the time and that's enough for my gf to categorize my daily driving skills as "horrible."
For any aggrivation, you need an outlet. Prime is a good place to release my stress. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose significant other thinks his/her bf/gf/husband/wife is a bad driver as I've discussed this issue with my other car buddies before. Therefore, please don't hesitate to post your stories related to this topic. I personally believe there will be some interesting reads.
P.S. The last option in the poll was created in the favor of y'all-know-who
