How ones approach to driving changes
Discussion
I'm going to be 39 this year and I have started to notice subtle changes in me where driving is concerned. Is it just a coincidence or are others changing too?
I'll nip for a wee before rushing off somewhere
I'll stop and think 'Hmmm, do I really need to overtake the car in front'?
i can't be arsed cleaning the car as often as I used to
I think a lot more about depreciation and residual values over how cool it looks/fast it goes
Anyone got anything to add?

You don't need to be getting older for the above to happen (apart from the wee part). Just have two kids instead.I'll nip for a wee before rushing off somewhere

have to agree I drive a lot better when I have the kids in the car. You also find that a diesel estate looks like your ideal car more than the 2 seater sports car!
You end up not giving a toss about the state of it, dints, scratches, unwashed, and the seats covered in juice and crisps and vomit are just part of the fun!!!

I was in school with someone called Charles who acted 39 when he was 16. I'll nip for a wee before rushing off somewhere

Nope - the art of overtaking is dying someone has to fly the flag for a noble cause - if it's in front and slower I'll overtake where possiblePig Skill said:

I'm not sure I've changed at all in that respect - I still don't like cleaning carsPig Skill said:

Depreciation and residual values - whats that!!!One change I have noticed is I'm a lot more tolerant of other drivers mistakes or badly planned actions - frequently I can almost guess what they are going to do and anticipate it.
I'm handing in my DL and heading for the Billiard room to borrow the revolver when I think I'm now driving like my dad
Simply the wisdom of experience! You've realised that in today's world there are enough idiots on the road without needing to be one of them; that if you drive fast they're going to take your licence away and that you've seen enough accidents to realise an old Mini just folds up on impact!
Well, either that or it's time for a mid-life crisis. Boxster convertible??
