I consider myself to be a professional driver. I have raced in two NASCAR races, taken enough driving courses to teach, drove a truck (third shift) for over six years, learned to drive a motorcycle in one of the most dangerous states for motorcycles due to the retirement population (Florida), taught four kids how to drive stick shift and all four passed their driving tests the first time, and have never had an accident (that was my fault). That being said I am hypercritical of the large percentage of people driving vehicles out there. A lot of the drivers do not realize that their focus needs to be one hundred percent on the road. Hats off to the police that are able to maintain a civil tongue when an accident is due to inattentive driving (cell phones, alcohol, make-up, nose picking).

Every time I'm in the car I can't help but think, 'Why do people need a perfect score on their driver's test when once they get behind the wheel they do whatever they want?'  I mean why learn the rules if you aren't going to follow them?  It's not just an age group either.  It's anyone of any age with any type car.  They are going to drive how they want and the heck with everyone else.  It's sad and it's scary.

Glad someone brought this topic up, my daughter and I were on the highway and this camero was passing other cars like he was the only one on the road, he thinks just because he has a fast moving vehicle that he owns the road, couldn't really see who was driving because the tints were dark. It's not only sports cars but ones that are not so expensive, they pass by you like you are stopping them from getting somewhere important, people should adhere to the rules of the road, accidents happen when you least aspect it. I drive with lots of caution, especially when i have my daughter in the car with me, and then when I'm in the car by myself also. If you have to be somewhere by a certain time leave early enough so you arrive alive and on  time with minuets to spare.

Last week, I stopped at a stop sign, and then waited for a boy on a scooter to pass.  Car behind me got impatient and drove around me very fast, after the boy passed, and went through the stop sign.

If there had been a kid behind the first one, chances are he would have been dead.  Also there was no way he could have see if the through street (busy) had traffic coming.

Again, why not wait 2 minutes to take your turn.  Schools out, go slow. Leave 5 early.

Stupid driver, in a "cool" car...he almost made the headlines.

I have a license but scared to drive so my husband bring me at work in the morning and our friend pick me up in the afternoon if my hubby is working.  Have a bad experienced in the road so I trembled if im driving.

I would say I am a cautious driver always watching out for other people and how they drive.  So I guess I am :)

Yes, because I have to watch out for idiots all the time. I mean, people around here obviously have no licenses or a suspended license... It's so obvious.

For the most part I am super careful as I rather avoid getting into an accident and to deal with the repairs, rental, insurance, etc.

I'm a careful driver you have to be with all the nutters out there who try to do more then driving putting everyone at risk and they just dont care. Every day I've avoided accidents mostly by people who are on there cell phone cutting into my lane without signalling or even watching. It's annoying to see even more annoying if the driver that does it flips you off which has happen to me a few times

I try to be a careful driver, but like everybody else sometimes I make mistakes.

As I have gotten older I have become a more careful driver.  I attribute this to not being in that big of a hurry to get to the next red light that the guy who just passed me will be sitting at as well.

Yes sir buddy! I am very careful. I check, check and check again before I make a move on the road. There's so much going on there that we need to be vigilant and cautious. There's road rage, texting and driving, people high on everything, but the kitchen sink, lol! Also those who just doesn't pay attention:-(
Tonight 06/30/17, there's a commentary on Road Rage driving on Channel 10's 20/20.
