Ok so this is not a rant so it is here. This should open up the opinion board lol. Anyway when I sit in my car (waiting for my wife, or daughter, or just in general) I observe traffic and people. Some of the things I see...... So here goes (I will admit I fall into the #1) what do u think is worse..
#1 good driver that ocasionally has a absent minded "OOPS, what the $#%^& was I thinking" moment and realize what u did wrong or...
#2 an ignorant driver that makes mistakes all the time and does not know any better or does not care.....

DING let the round begin lmao

I work in a body shop, we see the same cars come in every month...theres 3 or 4 that are literally EVERY month. Its always something really stupid and there fault. Like this mid 40's woman that drives an Element, who sideswiped a truck in a parking lot, then 3 weeks after we fixed that rolled it on dry roads, in the middle of the day, and into a tree. So we fixed it...then she backed into someone in a parking lot...and it keeps going.

Or the woman with a 99 Grand Am who has 14 insurance claims at this time, with the same car. The most recent which its still in the shop for...she drove off the road to avoid a deer, down a hill, through someones yard, over a landscaped area with large landscaping rocks, continued through that and through the rest of there yard and into a barbed wire fence, and also took out a wooden fence post. But since this POS has 56k miles and progressive is cheap as hell they undercut us so it wasn't totalled. 4900 worth of damage and all junkyard parts other then all new suspension on the r/r...dumb woman drivers. Oh btw, she said she was only doing 40 mph LOL!

Definitely 2 bro! And I fall into the first one, where I sometimes miss something, but am generally clear.

Thing that irritates me most is the people who at stop signs/lights, come flying through the turn, without stopping. Like your light just turned green, you are halfway through, and some jackass makes you slam the brakes because he whipped in.

But some people are just terrible drivers. There is this girl I know that failed the road test 3 times for speeding, and poor motor skills. She always mashes the gas, does not pay attention to the speedo, and breaks necks while braking. And we have all tried to help her, just nothing sinks in.

I did quickly thank God I got though it and I was once again brought down to earth again lol
