Like video games, the biggest thing to help make you a good driver is awareness.

Driving lessons would probably be a good start.

well, if you don't text & drive or drink & drive, you are probably already a better driver than the people who do those things.

If you feel you cannot control a car maybe you shouldn't drive

There's no point in being a good driver, too many people suck at it so its pointless

Just get a new Infiniti, Mercedes, or Lexus with as many electronic driver aids as possible - backup camera, traction/stability control, auto braking, parking sensors, auto radar cruise control, lane departure warning, drowsy driving alert systems, auto parallel parking, night vision camera, auto highbeam, auto windshield wipers and auto dimming mirrors, and then you won't need to change your driving habits. Why try in TYOOL 2014 when you can throw money and technology at the problem?

I say get out of the car and kill someone first. After, drive off. Then, at least, you can say it wasn't your driving that was lethal.

also do some mental math and realize that zipping in and out of traffic like an aggressive butthole and doing 20 over the speed limit will literally only get you to your destination like 2 seconds faster

i once was driving with my brights on because i had a headlight out and it was a saturday night and i sneezed and jerked the wheel a bit, the chick in front of me leans out her window and screams YOU'RE DRUNK! and takes off into the other lane because i guess she thought i would do something crazy like take my eyes off the road and yell at her out my window or something and she slammed into a car pulling out into the lane she had just accelerated into without signalling, i thought about stopping to make sure everyone was ok because the other car was not moving and she was doing about 40 but i was kind of tired

if you are aware and considerate of other people driving that basically makes you the best driver by default. i used to wonder why everyone drove like a shithead and then i realized it was because they don't care about anyone else around them. this effect is a little exaggerated by being in a car but it actually applies to everything in life and once you realize most people would legitimately not feel bad about you dying if you brought them some small measure of personal gain it is easier to navigate the world.

the line between having a pleasant conversation with someone on a bus and them eating your organs to avoid dying of starvation is pencil thin.

try riding a motorsickle, op. if you're thoughtful about it it will make you a much better driver because it will train you to scan everywhere all the time and be aware of every car on the road

getting upset at people driving too slow (or at all) in the left lane is an indication that you need to chillax about driving and you probably aren't that good at it either
