i inherited that driving habit from my dad. i do it subconsciously, so when new people are driving with me i can tell when they get irritated. but it all works out because in the end, i get to stop less often.
oh, God. i drove with this girl once who was so careful that i feared for my life. she was so completely nervous, after several years of driving (and a couple of wrecks that she decided to tell me about during our 2 hour long trip), that i really considered just telling her that i was uncomfortable and i preferred to drive (her car). so i guess she had the opposite of road rage; let's call it road scaredy-catedness. or something. anyway, i made lots of dua and on the way back convinced her that she was too tired to drive. whew.
