[QUOTE="Andy, post: 176445, member: 5096"] I am a safe driver. One year we left home on Thanksgiving and headed down the freeway to the Twin Cities (three hours away). It was sprinkling but I thought we would drive out of it. WRONG! By the time we got to the cities, the freeway was ice. I was driving 30 miles per hour at most through the cities past lots of accidents with husband, easy child, and baby difficult child in the vehicle. I would have been a nervous wreck as a passenger so did not let husband take over. When we reached our destination, husband complimented me on my driving. I have received 2 warnings in 30 years, no speeding tickets. I do tend to go about 5 miles over the limit. One time I did purposely go about 20 miles over because about 1 hour down the road, I noticed I had left my purse at the last rest area. Talk about panic on that one. The caretaker was just leaving and someone had turned in the purse - happy ending. When we got back on the interstate, a cop had someone pulled over - I think maybe I was picked up on radar just before pulling into the rest area and the cops got the wrong person? The closest I get to road rage would be bonking the horn which puts husband in panic mode, "Don't you know people get shot for that?" He is scared of road rage. I love to drive. [/QUOTE]
