Tell us your driving secret - it's safe with us
Discussion
One thing i share with t'missus, if someone is nice enough to let either of us out we get out the way fast as the car will go, never let someone who's done you a favour regret it.
Almost all of my listening on the car's CD mulitplayers (haven't a clue about digi music and not bothered either) is Alice Cooper, whom i have been a fan of for over 50 years.

When I change lanes on a motorway I'm quite pleased with myself if I manage to avoid rumbling over a cat's eye.
If I'm bored as a passenger in a car I squeeze my thumb and forefinger together like a trigger whenever a tree/lamppost lines up exactly with the rear view mirror/A-pillar, as if I'm playing some very basic shoot 'em up video game.
I do both those things!If I'm bored as a passenger in a car I squeeze my thumb and forefinger together like a trigger whenever a tree/lamppost lines up exactly with the rear view mirror/A-pillar, as if I'm playing some very basic shoot 'em up video game.
I thought I was the only one in the world.
Are you, in fact, me?
I have no driving competitiveness at all even at track days . Drive my own speed ,quick enough to be respectable but aware there are other drivers and keep tidy. On road drive fairly fast but very quickly pull over for faster cars.
Do not care what others drive at all. If my next door neighbour bought a Pagani would not me in the least (unless he did not give me a passenger trip)

I can't tell the difference between RWD & FWD
Be careful who you say that to. I admitted to that a few years back and was ridiculed for months.(I still can't, btw)
I've got 2 FWD, 2 RWD, 2 4WD, can swap between them & still not really know the difference unless I really think about it.
If you are the type who never drives faster than 6/10ths then I can believe that they wouldn’t know the difference. But you only need to accelerate hard from a standstill on a loose or slippery surface for the difference to become very apparent, even to the most disinterested driver.
My secret is that I’m a very law-abiding person and the rise of pervasive automated enforcement and surveillance by camera for speeding, parking and a number of other things really ramps up my anxiety levels. I’m worried about accidentally getting tickets and points even though I’ve been driving since the early 1990s and my first and last speeding ticket was in 1995. I think I’ve only ever had one parking ticket in all that time. But the anxiety about it is getting so bad that I’ve gone from loving driving to hating it. At least in my part of the road where it’s really congested. The worse my anxiety gets, the worse my depression gets because driving was for so long my biggest pleasure in life. I long to return to the early 1990s when driving standards were better, there was much less traffic, no cameras and driving felt care-free and genuinely fun.
