LOL. Crazy isn't it, how we have this technology but don't trust it.
Even when someone is guiding me in for instance, it is sometimes difficult to believe that you are not going to BUMP!

Re: Your WORST Habit Driving?
I can't think of a one! Asked my daughter and she doesn't think so either. Perfect driver attitude, that must be my worse driver's habit! I do tend to talk (sarcasticly) to the other drivers, even though they can't hear me, when they are doing something I don't like though.23-01-2011, 09:19 PM

ROAD RAGE SYNDROME!!!
Only kidding Claire, sounds like a 9/10 because you even asked the opinion of your daughter, but ...... if you could cooly accept others mistakes without sarcasm, then you get 10/10. WELL DONE.

Re: Your WORST Habit Driving?
I have to admit I have noticed a deterioration in my driving since I retired and drive much less, in fact I am starting to lose my nerve a bit about getting behind the wheel .Changing my car didn't help, my beloved old Volvo was put out to grass in favour of a tin box called a Ford Fiesta.
Worst habit? Lack of practise at parking means I don't.... unless I can drive into a space with ease without any manoeuvring I don't park
if I can't do this I go home

Meg, I totally sympathise, but some folk do not think or realise any deterioration in their driving, which is obviously worse. Quite natural to have your confidence knocked by this.
Have you perhaps considered finding a good recommended Driving School, explaining your thoughts and feelings to the Instructor, and taking one Driving 'Lesson' with them, in order for the Instructor to give you their opinion of your driving skills and responses to driving. They may be able to help, and restore your capabilities, or of course they may confirm. Have you also considered an Automatic car too?
However, whatever you decide to do, you are obviously safety concious.
