i think you shouldn't drive i'm being serious

love this ask first of all (/gen) but tbh i think YOU should never attempt to drive in chicago or any similar american major city IM being serious!! like i hear u 100% but 1) i’m bein a lil silly when i chit chat on tumblr dot com and 2) bein a defensive driver means keeping up w the flow of traffic and following the social rules of driving above all else and shit genuinely is different when you’re in a place with thousands upon thousands of cars on the road, a trend of road rage shootings, and a lot of dangerous weather conditions. if ur sitting in bumper to bumper traffic with thousands of ppl tryna race to not be late to work, and you don’t get close enough to the person in front of you, the people on either side of you will take that as invitation to cut you off a million times & can and do cause major crashes w it. if you brake too early in heavy traffic/leave too much space between you and the car in front of you while braking, it makes it difficult for the people behind you to anticipate the rate at which you’ll brake & causes rear enders. if you slow down too much on a turn or yellow light and it’s against the flow of traffic you run the risk of being rear ended. if cars around you are all doing 75 and you’re insisting on sticking to the 60mph speed limit you’re gonna get hit. truly most of my driver flaws are in fact things i do because i was specifically taught to do them in driver’s ed to be safer in city driving conditions!!!

that said i’m trying very much so to be more aware of if i’m tailgating outside of heavy traffic times and i’ve been told i’m doing much better w it than i used to!! & also i use my turn signal whenever it’d be dangerous for me to NOT do so - i prommy i’m just bein silly here and i strive to keep me and the cars around me safe, don’t worry

#d speaks #asks #this made me laugh tbqh #also i SWEAR there are SO many dangerous toxic driving things that i do NOT do #i come to a complete stop at stop signs and red lights where i’m gonna turn right #i NEVER get into pissing contests w other drivers. if someone wants to pass me i let them if someone is driving in an unstable or aggressive #manner i simply get as far as possible away from them #i always keep up w the flow of traffic #i’ve NEVER taken up two spaces with one car when parallel parking #i do not have LED headlights and i don’t rev my engine for shits and giggles and i don’t use my horn unless it’s fully necessary #i don’t have road rage #i pull forward to turn left at intersections so that the person behind me can also catch the yellow if there’s no chance to turn on green #if someone brake checks me i go oh!!!! shit ur so right dude sorry lemme give u more space #i don’t text and drive and if i’m using my phone it’s in a hands free way #and best of all i have never in my LIFE decided to come to a complete stop on an on ramp for the expressway which i personally think is #a cardinal sin!!!! i know how to merge safely & confidently #i’ve never been in any major accidents #i pull to the right for sirens and lights & im very cautious in construction & school zones #do not worry about me i strive to be a safe driver !!!! #i simply also sometimes have adhd and forget that i’m NOT in bumper to bumper or heavy traffic and therefore don’t need to be all up on ppl #but like. i’m never one to drive on the shoulder i’m not an ANIMAL
