Driving

[Seathestars]

Are you a good driver, rate yourself out of 10

I'm probably 7 or 8, safe enough but I cross my hands and have a few other bad habits.

I'm in Saudi for now and the driving is just pure madness, it's like one of those video games but real life.
What places have you been were the driving is dangerous.

And before @COYBL25 mentions it, the car parks are boring mate, no dogging to be had here.

I done a job in India in 2009 bar far and away the most dangerous roads i have been on. Its a pure free for all, nobody has right of way its who is the bravest!! It was basically a game of chicken single lane roads with cars lorry's motorbikes 3 deep going both ways!!!
Motorbikes would have a full family on the dad driving, kid behind, wife in front, and another kid on the handle bars weaving in and out of the traffic!! I dont think there was a day i never seen someone splattered or a car mangled...

I think I'm above average for judgement, the way some people approach roundabouts and stop, or have no idea how to use the other cars to your advantage, makes my blood boil.

But I am a little prone to hot-headedness.

I'm a solid 10/10.

I have got most categories on my driving licence and I have done advanced driving courses as well as that I have done VIP driving for high ranking officers in the Air Force.

I'm not having it, there's always dogging to be had wherever you are.
Plus getting beheaded if caught adds to the fun

Im a superb driver.. itd all the other idiots that ruin the experience

 

[The binman chronicles]

I'm in the top 1%

As for countries with poor driving, my wife is Armenian and over there they think nothing of overtaking a truck over a crest of a hill on a main road. They also haven't realised that you can moderate the throttle, they think of it as an on/off switch. Same with the brakes.

But I imagine it's still better than India so @JLW wins.

Most people reckon they're a lot better than they are - https://www.psychologicalscience.or...ir-skills-are-above-average.html#.WNzEJme1vcs

Quite a well known example of the illusory superiority bias. Me, I'm rubbish to be honest. Very rarely drive these days, so when I do it's pretty rusty.

 

[ijjysmith]

I'm utterly woeful at driving.

A solid 4/10.

Not arsed though.

 

[COYBL25]

I've never been in a crash, but I've seen plenty in my rear view mirror

Did you cause them?

It was either me or the old dears behind me in the Nissan Micra / Honda Jazz lol
