Safe, and I try to follow traffic laws and err on the side of caution. I'd rather stop at a yellow than shoot on through. I also drive the speed limit or fairly close to, which gets people swerving around me when they're doing 20-30 clicks over what I am, when I'm already probably over the speed limit by a bit.
I usually drive pretty fast but Im safe for the most part. I dont text or answer my phone, I dont fiddle with my mp3 player or do anything that distracts me. I kind of always have to be ready for some asshole on the road since I live in a big city. Its worked so far, I haven't gotten into a wreck and I've only had one ticket for speeding(I was going 40mph in a 35mph area)

I do that too, I also mess with people I know are trying to cut me off. Ill speed up when they get next to me and slow down when there's a car in front of them or they're behind me. Its so fun.
A good driver. Â I drive fast but because I enjoy it, not to rush anywhere. Â I have a track licence so I know what I'm doing, and I'm obsessed with driving.
[QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"]One of those that texts on his phone 99% of the time. Just kidding, I hate those people that do that. Ugh I remember once I had to take this 2 lane "freeway" and the car in front of me was going ridiculously slow, I said to myself "maybe there's a baby on board and they forgot to put the sticker", then I could finally move to the other lane and pass her and I looked at the girl driving and she was TEXTING the entire time, that's why she was going so slow because she wasn't even looking at the road....I mean at least she wouldn't get into an accident, but what an unconsidered fool she was.

Same, but if I'm over the speed limit, it's only because I haven't had the chance to glance at my speedometer in a minute or so.
I also try to take back roads as often as I can, to avoid traffic and the idiots weaving in and out of it passing everyone on the left and the right. :evil:
I try to walk if it's less than 2 miles away unless I plan on buying groceries or something.
I like to think im safe and aware, but really if there's a yellow light, you dont want to be driving slow with me behind you.lightleggy
They'll ticket you here if the light turns red while you're in the intersection. And I don't even mean stopped in the intersection, if it turns red while you're passing under the light, that's a ticket.
Reason being you had time to stop, and if you didn't have time to stop you were speeding or not paying attention or both.

I obviously dont do it if there's high traffic, but if the road is clear, I step up and go through in a breeze, they wont make a ticket here as far as I know but either way I always calculate how much time is it left for the light to turn red, if I know I wont make it, I just stop and wait for the green,

The cameras don't care about traffic. If you're in the intersection and the light turns red, that's a ticket even if it is 3am.

Ditto. What track do you go too?

Usually at firebird in Phoenix, but I heard it's closing soon.  I've also driven at Laguna Seca in Cali.  I want to get into B-class racing, but I just have to get the right car. :)

I do that too, I also mess with people I know are trying to cut me off. Ill speed up when they get next to me and slow down when there's a car in front of them or they're behind me. Its so fun. I like to brake check people who are driving in my boot.

I'll tap the brake to make the lights come on, but not enough to apply the brake. After a few yo-yos they either get the hint and back off or go around.

I like to brake check people who are driving in my boot. I do that some times, if they really annoy me. For example when I'm already above the speed limit and there is no space on the right lane. In other cases I slow down a bit, and go VERY SLOW, like annoyingly slow to the right lane once there is space. I always turn my head to see the look on their faces when they finally overtake me. Other than that I consider myself a responsible driver even though I pretty much always drive over the speed limit when I have the chance. I make space for others, I keep right when there is space etc etc.
in Saudi? i'm a safe driver on open highway, but have to be an offensive @sshole driver when i get to intersections because 3-4 guys on the far left (speed racer) lane wanna now get to the far right lane exit.Â
Â
If i could be invulnerable to the cost and physical harm, i'd slam my car into some of these @ssholes. who think they own the road.Â
one goes 50 in 35 If able but, not big deal if cars in the way with earbuds because the wiring in my car is missed up somewhere that I can't figure it out. I try avoid the phone though.
Safe, but I'm not slow either. I always try to go exactly 5 miles over the speed limit. I am guilty of perhaps driving too close to people that go dramatically slower than the speed limit because I think it is rude when people have places to go and need to be on time.

A slow driver is just as bad a reckless one.
