[QUOTE="donna723, post: 176402, member: 1883"] I must be an OK driver because I've had a drivers license for [U]48 years[/U] and never got a ticket and never had an accident ... unless you want to count the deer that decided to end it all by jumping out of ditch and running in front of my car last February! That was kind of unavoidable and didn't count against me. When I was a kid you could get a restricted license at 14 and I've been driving ever since. I won't say that I [I]never[/I] go over the speed limit but never by more than 5 mph or so. I don't push my luck because I can't afford to pay a ticket or the higher insurance. I've had the same drive to work for 22 years and I know where it's OK and where you have to be careful. And I don't gun it on the Interstate unless everybody else is doing it - they can't get [I]everybody[/I]! I admit though, I don't like to make long trips by myself, though I've done it several times. I like having somebody to talk to. I've driven through Atlanta at rush hour by myself and was almost in tears when I came out on the other end, but I did it. And I don't like driving at night but I've done that too. I can see alright ... until some fool comes towards me or comes up right behind me with their bright lights on, and then I have a real problem, especially if I've been driving a long time and I'm tired!
