Do you look at people parked next to you?

[911motorsport]

Is it just me that feels uncomfortable looking at the driver/occupants of the car next to me?

I mean at traffic lights for instance I find myself resolutely staring forwards and avoiding eye contact with them. I'll even pull up slightly 'out of alignment' so that the door frame obscures a clear line of sight.

Am I ready for the men in white coats or is this something everyone experiences?

[944fan]

No not you I don't want to look at them either

[GadgeS3C]

Maybe you're just shy?

Seriously, driving is so weird. Seems to be one of the few activities where everyone wants to avoid any contact with other humans. Maybe it's being surrounded by a tin box. I find myself more open to being friendly, making eye contact in an open top or on a motorbike.

On the bike I always ride in an open face helmet. I find this is a completely different experience to a full face. The reactions from everyone else are much more friendly. Recommended it to a friend and he found the same when he switched.

It depends - if they are driving badly, then yes I do look at them to see what species they are.

From the 1st two posts I'm beginning to feel this could be a Porsche issue

[XitUp]

I stare right at people.

[Zeemax_Mini]

I do the same - pull alongside but so that one of the pillars obscures their view of me/my view of them!

It depends ,i look around and if SHE has a nice pair [legs or boobs]

i might look a bit more ,but if its some mongy bloke then eyes front asap

[stewjohnst]

I like to have a little nosey to see if the collar (car) and cuffs (driver) match what I was expecting, like pulling up alongside a scooby and seeing someone old enough to be my grandad piloting it...

Get a lot of women driving Atoms 'round your way then? I can't imagine how else you'd be able to see a drivers' legs.

My car has pimp tints so I can stare at whatever I like.

Ahh, so by "legs" you mean "left thighs".

I do it all the time when I'm a passenger.

I always look at people in cars, usually give them the 100 yard stare to try and intimidate them into racing me.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Sign of the times. Most people seem to equate making eye contact when in cars with bumming their wife.
