Let me start off by stating that I don't claim to be perfect. Sometimes I'm impatient, obnoxious and outspoken. Behind the wheel is another matter.
I try to be courteous on the road. I don't always stick to it when it feels like I am the only one being nice but I do try.
I do find it odd that most men seem to think that they are above average drivers...a claim that is statistically impossible...

Regardless, I wanted to start a thread that may help us all. I am listing some of the things that I do when driving that I wish that MORE people would do.
* When I see a car approaching me from behind at a speed greater than I am driving, I move to the right lane as soon as is possible.
* When I am going to make a right turn onto a street or driveway, I ease to the right shoulder to allow the following cars to proceed without having to slow down.
* I try to avoid tailgating.
* If I am in the front at a stoplight, I try to leave the line as soon as the light changes, while looking both ways for red light runners. I don't accelerate slowly either.
* I use turn signals.
* I do NOT park next to other cars in parking lots unless the spaces are scarce.
What good habits do you try to employ when you're out in the traffic?
