[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 176987, member: 439"] I was about to answer "yes, I'm a good driver, it's all the other idiots out there that are the problem"!!!! Seriously, I drive very defensively - you have to around here! No one uses a turn signal, no one stops at a stop sign or red light (we've in the argument stages of red light cameras now), one car will be going 80 on the highway and the next one 40, and god forbid you have one snow flake come down! No one knows how to get ON or OFF the highway. I would much rather drive the highway than other streets and roads. I almost alway drive when we are all in the car so I do not get car sick (especially on twisty, turny roads). Highway I'll maybe go 5 miles over the speedlimit, city I'll go the speedlimit. I've had two tickets and involved in one wreck during my years of driving. Both tickets were "questionable" to me - one was on a county line road, the officer was from one county, sitting in a private drive on the other side of the street (the other county) and clocked me going down a pretty substantial hill. The other was in a city park, on a January Saturday, at noon, when it was sleeting out. He got me 32 in a 25 - and I didn't see another car or person the entire time he had me pulled over. The wreck wasn't my fault, I was hit from behind at a traffic light. I was at a complete stop, the person behind me didn't until he hit me. I also never get lost. My husband makes jokes that I was a taxi cab driver in a past life. [/QUOTE]
