I have a love/hate relationship with driving.
I'm a good driver, my reflexes and such are excellent - I've always prided myself on that. But I hate driving here because there seems to be some unspoken rule of driving 5-10 miles below the speed limit. It infuriates me. That said, I do follow traffic laws, except for the speed limit thing which I'm guilty of usually doing around 5 over...but I'll accept going the actual speed limit - it's going slower that pisses me off. I've only been in one accident...it was recently and it totalled my car...which was six months away from being completely paid off  Other than that I've only had a few speeding tickets, and one for not stopping at a stop sign..in a parking lot. Oh actually - when I first moved to Rochester I got stopped...for turning on red when there as a sign that said not to. I didn't see the sign, in my hometown there are no such signs...I'd honestly never seen one....the stupid part is I did it right in front of a cop. I saw the cop, I didn't see the no turn sign - so I was genuinely surprised when he pulled me over. I got my license at 16 and my first car was a little hatch-back 1988 Toyota Corolla named Oda Mae. Then I bought a Mazda Protege - that's the one that got totalled, and now I drive a 2005 Toyota Corolla named Doris. She rocks.

I love driving. But by myself. I HATE people riding with me because they are only there to get on my nerves and tell me how to drive
which leads me to the next part. i'm not a good driver  I've never been in an accident (that was reported) that was my fault  i've had 2 tickets. one was only a few miles over the limit. The other one was back in august when i was trying to save the squirrel  that was a speed trap, though (like it makes it any better )I'm a pretty laid back driver. I don't get rage much unless I'm hungry. The reason I guess other people consider me a horrible driver is: I hardly ever pay attention to what I'm doing  I'm usually doing about a million things. I DO tend to speed quite a bit, but I ALWAYS use my turning signal. even when i'm pulling out of my driveway. I've had my fair share of road fueds-mostly other people started it, but I guess it was due to my poor driving When i took my driver's test, I did pretty good, but scored the best on my parking. Parallel parking, to be exact. I also took my test in a straight shift, so THAT was fun. But I passed, and that's all that mattered!!! I'll go ahead an apologize if I ever see you out on the road somewhere oh, and this wasn't asked, but I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt (****..I HAVE to ) but it's a good habit to get into and even if I'm running a block down the road, i put it on!

Ooh that reminds me..I am an excellent parallel parker. Seriously...I love to do it - because I can There have been instances where I'm not driving but whoever is will get out and make ME parallel park the car...it's something that has never been hard for me...and I take great pride in my parallel parking skills

ME TOO!!! sometimes I'll do it, even when there is another space that has plenty of room!! my grandfather taught me how to do it and I love it!! Except when i hit the curb I only do that every once in awhile!! I think it surprises people when I do it well, because everything else I do is so horrible. They are like.."ooh ****" and start making their peace with God or something....
