Ok so as I was going 65 in a 30 while sipping a frap, talking on the phone, and fiddling with my stereo I realized I might be a bad driver.

They say the first step to something is admitting you have a problem. So anyone else out there willing to admit they suck at driving?

you'd be a bad driver if you were doing 30 in a 65 mph zone.

Hello, I'm Purple Alien and I am a bad Driver

I know I can't drive. I drive so much though that it doesn't matter. I speed, can't parallel park, and can't really drive in a straight line. But I try my best.

I'm a great driver aside from my road rage. I expect everyone to be as good as I am, and when they aren't like slowing to 5mph to turn or signal for 20 minutes before changing lanes or drive on the shoulder or slam on the brakes randomly or whatever, it makes me

in that order.

Speeding, eating, talking on the phone, whatever, that's all ok as far as I'm concerned as long as you can actually drive well while it's going on. Makeup is a bit of a stretch unless you're at a light.

In the UK, they've made it illegal to be on your phone while you're driving. Need to make a call? Pull over.

They've done that in DC, not in Virginia where I live though. They gave everyone a grace period but after that there's some pretty hefty fines for doing it. I wish they would do it here, you'll see people on their cell phone doing like 40 in a 55 or cutting off an 18-wheeler because they're concentrating on their conversation not the road. It's not even just irritating, it's dangerous.

I won't talk on the phone, eat, or do hair, make up etc. while driving.

I will, however, do 80 in the fast last with music blasting. Especially awesome when you're driving next to the Pacific between LA and San Diego (the 5) or Santa Barbara (the 101).

And I will get

if someone is doing 60 and just sitting in front of me.

I don't like driving. A few bumps and grazes have totally put me off.

Don't get me wrong, I can do all the moves, perfectly alhamdulillah. I'm just a little impatient.

I'm the kind of driver that makes her passengers nervous. Really nervous.

This reminds me of something a couple college students did a few years ago around here. I believe they came from UMD... But that's neither here nor there.

They actually took a few cars and went the speed limit of 55mph around the Capital Beltway, which naturally held up traffic in both directions for quite some time. I think they were trying to prove the point that 55mph is too slow for a speed limit, but to me it was kind of pointless since nobody goes 55 anyway.

Is this a resurrection of the Speeding Tickets thread?
