I am a great driver. I can drive well, good under pressure, and I could be a pro if I worked at it.

im a pretty good driver and im pretty safe and thats what my mom thinks to because I never or try never to go the speed limit. I am very cautious I always know whats going on when im driving. When ever I make a turn I always use my blinker which a lot of people dont when they drive which is really annoying.

When i started to drive, cars didn't have blinkers. You had to roll the window down and stick your arm out Arm straight up for a right turn, and arm out straight for a left......If you weren't sure which way you wanted to turn you just waved your arm up and down.

I wouldn't describe myself as a great driver but at least I'm the only one in town who actually drives the speed limit.

I try to be very alert when I drive, with no distractions. I do not talk on the phone while driving, and do the speed limits. I am always looking around to see where other cars are. I do not eat while driving, put on makeup, or turn my head to talk to someone while driving. What about you?

I'm with you there. Driving a car is a fulltime Job. But I can remember when I was dating. I'd teach my girlfriend to drive by letting her sit Real Close. She'd run the gas peddle and steer while I ran the clutch and Brake. Those were the Good olde Days.

always play by the rule. Watch my speed limit, watch for all traffic sign. Always buckle my seat belt. make sure all the equipment working, so policeman don't stop you because one of your tail light not working. Never use my cell phones either while i'm driving.

I can tell! You are a good driver......Its scary when you see someone driving along reading the Paper. Those drivers need a Padded Cell. (and I'm not talking cellphone either!)

Hi there.. I consider myself a good driver.. And the traits that make me a good one at driving are that I never bully anyone on road, never do I horn at places such as hospitals and schools, never do I speed fast when I have passengers in my car, I always wear the seat belts while driving, never do I overtake from the wrong side, and I don't ever park my car in illegal areas.. So, that's quite a lot to justify urself as a good driver, right???

Well I have learned, if you are not a good driver, You will pay dearly. When I was younger, I did not think the rules were for me. I would speed and get tickets. I had a few finder binders. I even tried to drive without insurance. In SC you have to have insurance. It is the law. Well I got caught speeding without any insurance. I lost my licens. I had to pay a higher price for SR22 insurance. Well now I am older and wiser. I relize money does not grow on trees. (I thought my parents had a money forrest.LOL) Now I am on my own and paying my own bills. I am 41 years old and I still have to pay for my past. I am a very good driver now.

Hai dear friend, I am not a good driver but know almost all rules. Here in my country the driver seat is on right side And pass through the left side of road. People want to walk through right side of the road. Here on two wheelers helmet is must. It is better to wear the corider also. Its just for a security for head. Over speed is want to be strictly prohibited. But it is needed at certain condition also. But others over speed, must be prohibited. Also overtaking, many of the accidents occur only due to this overtaking. Here in Kerala, a small state of india, speed govern must be installed. So no vehicle's speed raise more than a certain limit. But it only for large vehicles. We want to obey the traffic rules strictly inorder to our safety and also our families security. Somany accidents can be avoid when we obey traffic rules.... Its another important thing that don't park our vehicles at no parking areas. And also don't open the door while stopped at wrong side..... Always wear seat belt...... Thats all my dear friend. Thank you.....
