What is an odd driving habit you have? I for one have this lil thing where if I only need to slow down just a teeny bit, I will tap brake with side of my foot. I know it doesn't do anything, but I still do it.

I like to back into parking spaces even when it's inconvenient and offers no real benefit.

I slow down when changing lanes, even when no one is around me. Don't know why. Makes high traffic lane changes kinda precarious.

I'll have both hands on the wheel, then I'll just let my left hand slide down onto the gear stick, even if I don't need to change gears.

I like to grip the wheel like I'm strangling someone. Someone with a wheel shaped head.

It is around my city. People here slow down for everything for no logical reason.

I almost always will back back out of a parking space and realign myself, even if I was pretty straight as it was.

I like to flicker with my high-beams at the dawn and twilight hours, or at night if i'm totally alone. For whatever reason I like seeing things in front of me illuminated, even when there's no real benefit.

I entertain myself. Stuck in traffic? Blast the radio, roll down the windows, and wave my iPhone with the lighter app out the window.

Red light? Put the car in park, feet on the dash, read book.

Someone beeps their horn at me, roll down window and shoot them with nerf gun.

The trick is to be creative.

He rides you about it because you're putting yourself in the middle of the road, when the middle of the vehicle should be in the middle. Good thing you don't drive big trucks lol.

I'll park anywhere in a car park if it means it's easy for me to park. I can park just fine but I'd rather walk an extra 50 feet rather than squeeze into a space.

My Dad does the same as you to a terrifying degree, like he'll go past a park car and you'd swear the mirrors must have swapped paint he gets that close. He probably doesn't even realise though, I have no idea how close I get to cars when I go past you just get used to knowing the distance I guess.

i dont get close when passing cars. but the opposite. i kinda inadvertently move away when passing a car.

i live in the US, if that clears things up.

I always have the AC on, even in winter. I like it cold. Though I wouldn't consider that a weird habit. There are certain radar guns that are isolated, so I drive past them on purpose and keep track of my "high scores":lol:
