Yep, I fully admit it when I’m in the wrong. One time during heavy rain I pulled around a car that had stopped (for no reason) on the side of the road. Another vehicle I couldn’t see did the same and I cut him off. I gave him a sheepish wave while he looked over at me.

I just never make rude gestures, or do anything but swear while I’m driving. I have never caused an accident but I would take reposibility if I did.

I basically drive away from other cars. I stay away from “packs” and will over take all trucks (because they’re pretty damn dangerous to be around). I maintain 2 car lengths and always merge with traffic at the same or greater speed.

I signal every gods damn turn I make even when I’m alone.

I’m not perfect as a driver but unlike many people, I try to be.
