What do you consider bad driving habits?

Question

Do you think a certain age, race, gender, or location are more likely to be a bad driver?

Personally, I am annoyed with people who don't use turn signals and feel the need to pass me on the right when their lane is ending. Slow drivers in the passing lane also are annoying and I consider them hazards. People driving BMWs, Mercedes, Lexus, Cadillacs, Lincolns and white trucks also seem to be bad drivers. Just curious what your experience has been.

Answer 1

What do I consider bad driving habits? Most everything I do....lol

Answer 2

You are right on your issues. I agree with you.

My experience with teaching people to drive...Filipinos are the most stubborn to listen and the hardest to train. I call them the "I KNOW GROUP" because no matter what I tell them to do...they already know it. LOL now that is annoying.

I asked them if you know why am I here? Then they tend to change alittle.

Answer 3

To me the biggest threat to auto safety are people that use cell phones while they are driving. It is too distracting and affects the way they drive.

Answer 4

People who drive or ride unrestrained, and or allow children to travel unrestrained. There is no worse sight than a car where no one has a seatbelt on and I still see mothers holding kids on laps/ in their arms. Have they not seen the crash tests where then dummies get slammed into the windscreen or go through it. Sheeeeh, that drives me insane

Answer 5

Failure to adequately check blind spots

Speeding



Forgetting to signal

Not wearing a seatbelt



Jerky movements

Tailgating



Sloppy turns

         Talking on a cell phone while driving



Inconsiderate of other drivers on the road (i.e. refusing to let other cars change lanes or merge into traffic flow)

Accelerating through yellow lights





Backing up the car without turning head to look thoroughly behind



Failing to reduce speed in potentially hazardous zones such as neighborhoods, construction zones, etc.



      Playing loud music

Answer 6

I'm curious why you pay so much attention to others and not your own driving. My son in law is a state trooper and he tells me that no one can drive a car 1/4 mile without doing something that he could pull them over for if he wanted.

Answer 7

While you obviously cant change other peoples bad habits, you can however, if feasible, plan ahead to compensate. ie: giving x-tra clearance. Metro/urban areas have more of their fair share of drivers with licenses obtained from Cracker Jack boxes.  STAY SAFE OUT THERE. --IC-- PS. Lexus suv's + cell phone = crunchhhhh!

Answer 8

Driving double-footed

Answer 9

Not signaling.

Not pulling all the way into the right turn lane when turning right (therefore making it more difficult for people going straight)

Sitting in the fast lane when you are going slower than traffic.

Answer 10

People in front of you with their blinker going for the last hour.

Old people pulling out without looking.

Guys in trucks that ride you *** and rev the engine in heavy traffic.
