She goes the speed limit of 50km/h all the way to our destination. It’s really common knowledge that only the newbies drive at 50. Everyone else drives at 60 and the cops don’t even bother busting anyone. So, fine, whatever, if she’s overly cautious, it is her car after all. Problem is, when we go onto the bridge, it changes into 60km/h and she’s still driving at 50. Causing all the cars to pass us and swerve in front of her. It makes her brake hard when this happens because when they pass her, she gets scared.
She didn’t know the directions to our destination, so I gave them to her ahead of time. When I say “Change lanes when there aren’t as many cars” she immediately signals and changes lanes, even when there are twenty cars zooming by. She cut off about ten cars on our trip. All of them honked at her angrily. She braked hard when they honked because once again, they scared her.
She would change to the left lane when I tell her to change to the right. She would brake hard when she realized she was going 60 and not 50. She would not pay attention to what’s in front of her and brake hard when there is a red light.
I seriously thought I was going to die in her car. She’s a great friend, but next time, no thanks.
Has anyone else had these kinds of experience before or am I alone in this? Are you a bad driver like my friend?
