      rethinking the title, the word i was looking for was courteous, not thoughtful.

        If you're talking watching your mirrors and paying attention to the traffic movement around you, etc, then I think "attentive" would be the word.

        To me courteous implies things like are you the type of driver who lets someone in who's trying to make a turn or get into your lane. Do you give a courtesy wave when someone lets you cut in, etc.

        I'm both attentive and courteous. :D


        Re: worst drivers --- I don't know what country or city has the worst drivers (I'll gladly stack Winnipeg up against anywhere else though), but the absolute worst cut-throat whiteknuckle driving I've ever done was on that long N-S tollway going through Chicago at rushhour. Every ten miles or so your three or four lanes open up into roughly twenty lanes, you go through the toll booth and throw your change into that little catch basket, then it's Indy 500 time as everyone in those 20 lanes races to where the highway narrows back into 3 or 4 again. It's utter insanity for like a hundred miles or more.

        I've driven it twice and lived to tell about it. :D

                That's a pretty popular assumption nationwide.

                Thing is, it's not that NJ drivers are bad, they just don't suffer fools gladly.

                Pay attention, use your turn signals and, most importantly, don't hog the left lane and you'll do just fine cruising through the garden state

                      I've never met anyone who said they were anything other than a "Good" driver.

                        I got pulled over by a cop who told me he "feared for his life" when I came around the turn towards him. I told him he had nothing to worry about because "I am an excellent driver."

                        He let me go without a citation. Daniel was with me, was 10 maybe. He would say, "I am fearing for my life" every time we drove down that street together.

                          Q for everyone -- do you use your blinker to signal when you're making a lane change in traffic?

                          Or do you do what most idiots do, and just move on over into any lane you please with no signal, no nothing, just you going wherever you want on the road with no thought to other drivers?

                          On the driver's test they dock you a couple of points every time you fail to signal a lane change yet for so many people, once they get their precious license and have earned the PRIVILEGE to drive they immediately drop all those little annoying good driving habits and just do what they please. Cops rarely if ever write someone a ticket for failure to signal so what's the point, right?

                          I'd say upwards of 4 out of 5 drivers right now DON'T signal when lane changing. The question is are you one of the four or are you the one?

                            Btw, relating what I just said above to motorcyclists (Daddog's ilk) I'd have to say the numbers are nearly polar opposite. 3 to 4 out of 5 bikers DO signal in some form, at least in my experience, either with their blinker or, if they're moving left they often use the extended arm point a second before making thier move. I know that in the 5 years I rode back in the 80's I always signaled religiously. On a bike you really tend to become more aware of the traffic around you. You have to, or chances are good you're going to eventually get shmooshed.

                            In all likelyhood they (bikers) drive so responsibly because they know full well that upwards of 80% of the larger vehicles on the road around them are being driven by incompetant idiots (as I outlined above) and are thus more conscious of protecting themselves. :D

                              i'll be completely forthright- i am not a good driver.

                              i get frustrated driving the car. i think this is a result of riding my motorcycles a lot. on my bikes, i don't have to deal with other drivers the same way, i can accelerate out of situations, brake out, steer clear of inattentive drivers, shitty drivers, situations, etc.


                              now if i am the only one on the road, traffic is light, etc., i find my driving is much much better.

                                I read it, but like someone else said, it's how people actually drive and not how they do on pop quiz's that really matters.

                                That's what I was addressing.
