How do I know if I'm a shit driver?

If there are no trophies on your fireplace mantle or checkered flags hanging on your wall you need to step it up son.

I think he's making a comment about automatic transmissions but desu who the fuck drives with their hands at 10 and 2 past 16. I stopped that shit when I turned 17. never been in a wreck.

It really depends what I'm doing. Cruising on the highway I'll just one-hand the bottom of the wheel. On a curvy back road I always have both hands on the wheel.

I agree. honestly, driving is like most other things in that most overarching generalizations about the proper way to do it are bullshit. Unless we're talking about legality.

But I could be making few mistakes from my perspective.

9 and 3 is the only way

number of accidents, whether or not you're at fault
usually, even when not at fault in the end, both drivers had contributed to the combined stupidity to create a crash

...

a bit weird, innit?

>How do I know if I'm a shit driver?

1. Do you slam your brakes a lot? Ignoring the occasional need to slam the brakes simply because the driver in front is doing it, you might be doing any of these poor_driver things:
a. tailgating
b. going too fast
c. not allowing enough space in front of you based upon current speed
d. not paying attention until the last few seconds

2. Do you use the cellphone or text while driving in traffic?

3. Do you wear headphones or earphones while driving

4. Do you FAIL to regularly inspect your car before driving it? That means seeing if tire pressure is low from a nail. Checking oil level occasionally. Seeing that there is enough radiator coolant and windshield wiper fluid.

5. People seem to act scared when you're the driver. Perhaps you take turns too fast or go downhill too fast thus requiring more braking at the bottom. The rollercoaster way of driving may seem "normal" to a driver accustomed to pushing the car to its driving limits on the road, but to passengers, they just get the feeling the car is on the edge of losing control. Why is this shit driving even though you are always in control (barely)? Because a good driver keeps his passengers' comfort and feelings of safety in mind. Right? When you push the limit to show off the car to the passengers, they might still technically be safe, but they emotionally don't feel safe. And that is why they might secretly think someone is a shitty driver because of "Damn, every time I ride with that guy, I just don't feel safe!" emotion.
