Types of drivers
May. 3rd, 2025 10:04 pmOver the years I've been in cars with many different folks driving, and most were pretty 'normal', thank goodness.
However, there have been three very unusual ones worth noting:
1 - Slams on the accelerator to get up to speed, then slams on the brake to stop. All the time.
WHEN - About 20 years ago when meeting up with a new aquaintance who drove me around town.
Frequency - Once or Twice.
RATING = Quite Annoying
2 - Cruises along tapping the accelerator On/OFF On/OFF, over and over Constantly, instead of just riding it steadly like most of the human race.
WHEN - During my childhood, an older fellow who was a friend of my Dad.
Frequency - About a half dozen times.
RATING - Nausea inducing
3 - Sharp spurts of speed and sharp steering.
WHEN - Every so often, maybe once or twice a year.
Frequency - A couple dozen times (current friend for about 30 years).
RATING - Keeps passengers on edge
