Driving can be a very relaxing experience; something to do after a long day, when you can put on your own music, and just clear your head. But the whole peaceful atmosphere can easily be ruined when someone cuts you off at the last minute because they think it's your job to avoid them. That is an annoying driver move. My good deed of the day is to help you realize whether you might need to check yourself. You may be an annoying driver if more than three of the following apply to you on a regular basis:
- You don't care if you park inside the lines.
- You text while driving.
- You slow down the left lane on the highway.
- No one ever wants to ride with you.
- You pass people then slow down in front of them.
- Your passengers fly forward when you come to a stop.
- You get over when there isn't enough space for you.
- You have severe road rage and drive super aggressively.
- You are never paying attention to anything around you.
- You drive below the speed limit.
- You never use your turn signal.
- You speed around tight corners.
- You throw things out the window, which hit the people behind you.
- You don't look before you switch lanes.
- You make it impossible for people to get over into your lane.
- You tail people in the right lane.
- You honk during a traffic jam.
- People tell you that you're a bad or annoying driver.
Was that the reality check you needed? Maybe none of those applied to you, or maybe you didn't even know how much of an annoying driver you are until every single one applied to you. I am not here to judge. I am no great driver, but I promise to make an effort if you do.
