What kind of driver are you...

[BigBlockMopar]

Ever notice...
when you're getting slowed down by a driver in front of you, who only goes ever so slowly into the slowlane so you can pass him, the driver of said car is usually called a 'dipshit' during the overtaking...

...And when someone is wanting to overtake you and is already next to you if you even aren't fully in the other lane is often called a 'Moron' right after he passes you by...?


So, what kinda driver are you... Are you a Dipshit or a Moron? :D :D

I'm the guy in the 18-wheeler that's gonna "win" every dispute.... ;D..80K pounds does that kind of thing..j/k

I'd venture to say we've all been both at one time or another.

A SAFE driver is what I strive to be out on the road....we should all do the same.

I'm with Chris. I find I'm especially paying attention now as my peripheral vision is compromised until the operation gets done. I drive as little as possible (Doc appointments, etc.) and try to avoid lane changes, etc. Lot's of folks probably think I'm a dipshit but I'm doin' the best I can. When fully able, I drive pretty carefully and save my thrills for the track. I DO like rapid acceleration, however.

I try to be as safe as I can at all times too - but I'm sure I've been sworn at a time or two by other drivers when I was in a hurry.

What I want to know is why so many people find the simple operation of the turn signal to be so baffling?

Re: What kind of driver are you...

Definetly a dipshit in my younger days and am definetly a moron now that I've gotten a little older. A few more years and a few kids will do that to ya!

Re: What kind of driver are you...

I don't really care if someone is slow in front of me providing they are doing the speed limit. Otherwise I generally consider them incompetent behind the wheel.
My fault is that I anticipate that some drivers can actually drive and end up on their bumper when they brake for the mildest of corners..

Anyone who races past me, I'd be a hypocrite to call them names. I just hope the have the brains to limit themselves and the ability to stay on the road. I'm not the police!

Moron; my Dipshit days, alas, are over.

Re: What kind of driver are you...

As a professional driver, who gets paid by the hour, slow drivers don't bother me. The underpowered Mack takes a very long time to pass other cars anyways. In any case, I drive defensively.

Re: What kind of driver are you...

I don't care as long as they are at least at the speed limit or whatever should be safe. I'm definetly known for my on-ramp antics, but I try to keep my stupidity to a minimum if anyone is nearby.

Re: What kind of driver are you...

I let the wife do all the driving around town.
It may sound stupid, But Mario Andretti does the same. I tend to tell people to shove off if you know what I mean. other than that, I'm a good driver. No Tickets in the last 25 Years and never had a claim on the Insurance. I find myself putting my Safety belt on even on the FLight line. Whatever...

Re: What kind of driver are you...

I'm both... but I don't STOP at Yeild signs... ( pet peeve of mine ... only an IDIOT would stop at one ) I accelerate and Merge with traffic...

Turn signal bulbs are non existent in our official City vehicles.Must be a cost cutting measure.The cops here are the worst at not using signals. ;D

I'm currently a limo driver. Guess how I drive at work? Safely and efficiently. I'm also a recovering Domino's Pizza driver who regularly falls off the good driver wagon, usually when driving one of my cars. ;D

Dipshit. For sure. The escort feels funny at 55 so I keep it at 45 or 50. Or 75.
