Little habits

[FLG GF]

List your driving habits good or bad 
for example:
FLG taps his hand on the roof of the car when listening to music when he drives

[moparsons]

I rest my hand on the shifter. Even when the car is an automatic(on the floor) like I may have to down shift at any moment!

I do the same thing..since its a slap stick if i want to have some fun ill throw it in first while im cruizing along.

[BB1]

Picking my nose. Dam I wish I could stop that. 

[Old Moparz]

Picking my nose. Dam I wish I could stop that. 

If you can't stop, go buy some finger tissues. 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Tend to ride peoples bumpers.....aggressive when it comes to stupidity...never let any one "in" etc
Typical for a NY driver

[The70RT]

Wondering why everyone is going slower than the speed limit.

Slamming on my brakes when someone is riding my ass.

My worst habbit: When someone cuts me off I have to cut them off in return 

Yes I have had lots of accidents but NEVER had a claim. My last accident was a hit and run. The guy hit me then took off. I chased him down and totaled both out the rest of the way when I caught him. He got 7 tickets and I got one for chasing him

[Magnumcharger]

Making lane changes on a four lane, without signalling.
I drive over 1000 miles a week, most of it at over 70mph.
I drive my car as if I'm driving a sport bike, weaving around traffic.
Of course, I see the other drivers as brainless drones. And they probably see me as a reckless maniac.
I've been driving for 30 years, and have never caused an accident. Or had a claim.

I've been known to tailgate (just a little bit). But when I started driving newer cars, I got extremely anal about stone chips and even more aware of my bad habits .....When I see a new stone chip I go nuts. 

My biggest problem is that I crawl up peoples asses at the stop light.  I know its bad...and I'm currently in therapy for it.   

By the way Daria, thanks for starting this thread.....and please don't think I discriminate. Even if your NOT cute,  I'll still crawl up your ass at the stoplight. 

[Finn]

When people want over but dont put their blinkers on I dont let them in.

I mean honestly, its right effing there. You have to move a FINGER . They never fail to give me a disgusted look when I pass them either, like I'm the one being a douche.

*Haa, just remembered this gem:*

[WingCharger]

I always keep my hand on the shifter, auto or otherwise..

[BronzeOnSteelies]

When I drive my wife and sons all have a bad habit of pressing down an imaginary brake pedal
when they are on the passenger side. Drives me crazy!   

[bordin34]

My only habits are leaving a lot of distance for braking since I drive the Charger and my brothers Pathfinder 50/50 and accelerating front stop lights up to the speed limit fast. I also hate how late most automatic transmissions downshift so I give them more gas to make them. And I find myself taking the Pathfinder out of 4wd to 2wd in the snow since its more fun. And I get terrified on country roads unless I am driving since the crash.

[69bronzeT5]

I thought of another one while driving today....when I go around corners, I seem to want to do it like I'm road racing.

[bordin34]

Doesn't everybody, I check the other lane where I would cross and if its clear drive like im racing, but with less throttle.

In my mind though I'm thinking "I want to do road racing and Autocross...I gotta get used to cornering fast"

[Silver R/T]

[TUFCAT]

Ooops, I just forgot another bad habit..... 

I ALWAYS check out the HOTTIES driving in the car next to me.

I have a habit of being that girl in the passenger seat flipping off others that piss off my FLG =D

(He has a slight temper problem when it comes to stupid drivers and if its a hottie it gives me a chance to check them out  )

[Rolling_Thunder]

ummmm    bad habit while driving...       I would say speeding...   dont do it as recklessly as i used to...   I got pulled over 19 times in high school...    never got a ticket...    64mph in a 25 zone once...     that could have been bad...

another bad habit it - i have a bit of road rage when it comes to old people / girls doing make up / people talking on phones / or people just driving slow...   



My buddy takes the cake though....     someone cut him off once and he went through the roof...    sped up and cut the guy off...     the guy proceeds to honk his horn, give the bird, and give say something about my friend's mom (who is deceased) at the stop light behind us...    so my friend (in his infinite wisdom) gets out of the car - calmly walks up to the guys hood...    walks up ONTO the hood and kicks in the guy's windshield multiple times - calmly walks back - gets in the car and drives away  like nothing happened...    and yes I saw this whole thing...       pretty remarkable to say the least.

It would be okay if you could spell.

[Dans 68]

With my wife in the car:
1. Not replying with a smart-ass remark (this is a hard-learned habit as I desire a harmonious marriage) when my wife asks me
          a. why I'm following so closely
          b. do I know where I'm going
          c. did I know that we are low on fuel
          d. not to honk at other drivers when they adversely impact me as they may have a gun and shoot us
          e. not to speed up to see what the nationality and gender are (for my own informal survey) of the driver that almost crashed into us
          d. ...and I could go on....

With my daughter in the car:
2. Explaining to my daughter why the other driver (read: idiot) did what he did, and what he should have done to be safe.


And all alone in my '68 Charger:
3. Hanging my arm out the window and smiling way too much

I'm always cranking my head at cute girls.  That gestgure usually isnt reciprocated.   

My dad taps on the roof of the Challenger while riding shotgun.  Drives me bonkers. 

I dont really have any bad habits.  I just enjoy driving.  More than most things. 

The whole kicking in the windshield thing, my cousin did the same exact thing.  To a friends windshield who he was pissed at.  Right in front of the cop shop.  I dont think he got a ticket, just had to pay for it.

darn...thats crazy...19 times u got the flashing lights and not a single ticket huh...whaddya pay em all

[Andrew]

I tap on the roof of the car when Im sitting at an intersection. I also start grumbling and swearing if I see people driving too slow/too fast/badly. Also I always drive with only my right hand on the wheel. The left hand just gets in the way, so it either stays in my lap, on the shifter or fondling the handbrake release button (RHD car)

[timmy]

mine is see deer hit deer

[dkn1997]

when I'm a passenger, I like tap on the door panel very lightly and in direct relation to the speed we are going.  the faster we go, the faster we tap. My buddies are all motor heads like me so they hear the noise and go crazy trying to figure it out.  they think it's ujoints, a flat, whatever. 

[mikepmcs]

My habit is picking up girls.

ok, time to wake up now, your typing in your sleep and i think they have a pill for that.......................

nah man - I believe their rationale is "young kid in a hot rod...    i was doing the same thing when i was his age...   i'll cut him some slack"...     

My buddy...    well....      long story behind that one.

BTW - The most priceless expression is when you're pulled over by the LAPD and they casually ask "Do you have any guns or firearms in the car?" and you say "ummm   yes officer, i do."  - instant double take but the officers    ---  that was a long night to say the least...    many many questions like "Why do you need this many guns to go shooting?" "are you sure this AR-15 is legal?" "is this a 30 round magazine?" "Is that a surefire on your HK USP ?" and my favorite "DAMN!  This thing is heavy!" (discussing a 50 cal Desert Eagle)

[mikesbbody]

Ooops, I just forgot another bad habit..... 

I ALWAYS check out the HOTTIES driving in the car next to me. 

Yup, guilty  but in all fairness i find they check me out more (or maybe they are just checking out the charger  )

[Mefirst]

From time to time im known to use allot of bad language...

[TheGhost]

I don't remember how to drive.
