Thread: Do You Consider Yourself A Good Driver?

    Do You Consider Yourself A Good Driver?

    I reckon that the vast majority see ourselves as very competent behind the wheel, Often tutting when we see how other people drive yet probably not considering that most of us on the road are critical of eachover. So come on, own up, what are your faults on the road? I'd consider myself bang average behind the wheel. I do have faults (like we all do) my main one is braking late approaching junctions and not indicating for long enough-that must piss people off-What are your faults and will anyone admit that they're not as good as they think that they are, or in other cases, what makes you so good?

    My main fault is that I drive far to well and it really pisses other drivers off and then for some reason they get road rage and rant at me and flash their lights and sound their horns and try to cut me up.
    If they just learned to drive as well as me there'd be no need for them to do it.

    I thought I was a good driver.
    Clean licence, 13 years no-claims...
    Banned for life after a stroke left me with a sight defect
    I actually did when i sold my car and it was driven away.
    Thhis was over 20 years ago, so I'm over it now.

    But I remember HOW to drive, and I get really pissed off with the bad driving I see when I'm out.

    Does it "talk"? Beep, flash lights or just send a report?

    These will becomer the norm in a few years - everybody will be forced to drive annoyingly below speed limits, crawling around corb=ners etc.

    Re: Do You Consider Yourself A Good Driver?

    I wouldn't necessarily say I'm a "good" driver technichally speaking. I'm pretty careful though, I obey speed limits around town, I signal, I'm not agressive. I do drive over the speed limit on highways, but nothing crazy, I just drive the same speed as everyone else. I will admit that this wasn't always the case though.

    Has Audi stopped installing indicator lights as standard ?

    Re: Do You Consider Yourself A Good Driver?

    I'm the best driver on the road. Every driver in front of me is terrible and every driver behind me is too close. On motorways I always stay on the inside lane, undertaking all the middle lane hoggers, just to emphasise how much better than them i am.

    Re: Do You Consider Yourself A Good Driver?

    I'm brilliant too, the best on the road, those middle lane drivers should be arrested and put in jail for life, twats I hate them!!!

    I lived in Spain until ~6 years ago and each time I came back to UK I always loved the fact that drivers here indicated, especially at roundabouts whereas in Spain they never did. Nowadays UK is much like Spain sorry to say.

    BTW, I am an Audi driver and I DO indicate....

    There appear to be more bad drivers on the road now than ever!

    Re: Do You Consider Yourself A Good Driver?

    Probably not.

    I try and use the correct lanes and I always indicate (on time as well not as I'm half way into the next lane giving it a flick in and off as many do) but I'm pretty impatient and lose it easily over things I could probably let go (bit I don't because then people think they have cart blanche to drive as they ****jng please..like driving down a slip road at 30 when you know the a470 is ****ing 50)

    Don’t use ‘um Mrs doesn’t like motorways, so we plan all our journeys on A roads, where possible

    Work vans have got this stupid thing fitted that scores you at the end of your journey, it beeps if you take too long moving up and down gear etc

    Shouts out the percentage at the end of your drive like some teacher on a power trip.
