    You might be and not know it! !

    Do you --

    Drive up to a junction /island and brake hard

    Cause other drivers to brake sharply

    Think a car parked on the other side of the road gives you priority over oncoming traffic so always keep going

    Accelerate quickly from junctions

    Arrive late frequently after journeys

    Get angry while driving

    Blame other drivers

    Think going faster gets you there quicker ?

    If you answer yes to most of the above then you probably are a aggressive driver, not only are you more likely to have a accident you are probably using a lot more fuel than you need to and causing extra wear to your vehicle.


    Part of a truck drivers course i went on recently thought i would share :thinking:
     
  2. Going faster does get you there quicker - ever driven on the Autobahn in Germany?

  8. 2 of them for me,

    But if a car is parked on the other side of the road it is my right of way, if i had to draw it for an insurance claim the 1st thing i would point out is who is on the right side of the white line, and i drive a company van so its always my right of way unless a company van coming the other way is dirtier older and bigger than mine :)

    and i'm sure its something to with physics that the faster you go the quicker you get there :)

    Most of it is about having a chilled state of mind while driving which helps you make fewer rash decision, like giving way to oncoming traffic when its clearly your right of way ie vehicle parked on other side of road, it isn't about your legal rights or one upmanship.
