I do sometimes hate driving behind SUVs, and I do tend to put more effort into abiding the laws with police around, although I do normally obey everything except the speed limit, as I go with the traffic and end up doing 80 in a 65. I think most people are like this. I tend not to be outgoing, better to be silent than thought a fool (I think most people I meet act like fools). What do you think?

 

I've seen that survey before. It's incomplete and is a prime example of the media blatantly skewing stories to fit the view they want. They just find behaviors that they think are unacceptable and see if bad drivers do them. Never do they see if good drivers also do.

Are they implying that good drivers enjoy having vehicles obstruct their view???

93% of the "bad drivers" in their survey listened to the radio. The implication is that good drivers don't listen to the radio?

If they wanted this to be taken seriously they should have seen how many "good drivers" also did each of the things they seem to be implying that only bad drivers do.

 

I said "yes" to only one other question - Do you find yourself in confrontations on the road, either through verbal arguments or hand gestures, because of either your own driving habits or the habits of others?

yup.

 

Driving behind SUVs isn't as bad as behind buses. Talk about a frustration. PLUS On the local news the other night they said that last year there were almost $1 million is damages caused by city buses runing around town, not to mention all that black smoke that bores out the tail pipes (can't see and can't breathe!)

 

Yep I hate SUVs. I can remember a few instances where they merged right into me and ran me out of my own lane, cut across medians and such and butted infront of me. That has only happened once with a bus, I normally try to make room for them because I'd hate driving one.
