Are you an aggressive driver?

To be quite honest, you should watch the speeding anywhere on the east
coast. Most of the eastern states have taken revenue enhancement through
traffic laws (or DWB) to record heights.

All the silly appeals. "Ohh, it might hurt." Or "I was a retard when I
killed that family." I'm waiting for someone to appeal a death sentence
by saying that the execution would kill him.

I'm no saint of a driver but one thing I can say, there are some
maniac drivers around the I95, I495, I295 Wilmington area. It's one of
the few areas where I actually get ****ed off at other drivers on a
regular basis. I'm actually glad they are cracking down on some of
these drivers. I just hope they don't go overboard with it.

Define "maniac". You might be right, but I've driven in that area quite
frequently, and have noticed no maniacs. For sure they haul ASS there, but
no worse than many other parts of the East Coast. I suspect these people
you've labelled maniacs are probably regular joes who might label you a
sloth. -Dave

No.

You betcha.

>Do you drive how you want?

When I can... is that a yes or a no?

>Do you skip using turn signals when you're changing lanes?

When I believe other drivers will use the information to block the
gap. I guess that's a yes.

>Do you lane-weave?

You mean change lanes to get around slow traffic? Of course.

>Tailgate when you're rushed?

No.

>Ever pass on the shoulder?

Yep.

>Do you ever start to pass a slow car, but drop back due to traffic?

Ever? Sure. That's called making a minor error, not being
aggressive. Or sometimes it happens because another driver blocks the
opportunity to pass.

>Ever block a passing lane to keep someone from passing you?

On a few occasions... usually involving an aggressive sloth who would
get in front and then slow down.

>Should the slow drivers just get out of your way?

Naturally.

>Ever cuss, make faces or hand gestures at drivers who bother you?

You bet.

>Should other people do a better job of watching where you're going?

No, I'll take care of where I'm going.

>Make a lot of cell phone calls driving or use your horn every drive?

No.

>Ever use high beams to convey annoyance with another driver?

Sure. How else do you tell another driver that his high beams (or
miserably misaligned lights) are annoying you?

>Do you take off quickly when the light turns green?

Yep, green means go.

>Ever roll through stop signs or squeeze through red lights?

Sure.

>Do you ignore lower speed limits in construction zones?

I'm in Pennsylvania, home of the orange cone. What do you think?

>Do you double-park?

Nope.

>Are other people to blame for road problems or crashes you had?

You mean the times I got rear-ended while at a stop? You bet.

>Do you think you're an excellent driver -- but others aren't?

Only the second half.

>Police, highway and safety experts say that even one or two "yes"
>answers can signal problems, especially with speeding.

Most cops would have to answer them all as "yes", if they answered honestly.

Damn, I only made 14. I could get a cell phone, I suppose.
