Do you change when you get behind the wheel?

Having just endured 200 miles of mostly motorway driving over the last 24hrs. I have witnessed some bloody awful driving! I'm sure lots of these mad drivers are very normal people when not driving.

I'd say I'm fairly placid as a driver, I don't tend to shout or get aggressive. I used to get wound up but age has calmed me down.

I had to attend a speed awareness course 18 months ago and that's slowed me down too. Which is a good thing.

So do you change when you're driving ?

When I was younger I was one of those aggressive, angry and always in a rush types. I got home with blood pressure through the roof and properly pissed off. Nowadays, I'm much more mellow, just get to where I'm going as long as it takes me. I now arrive much more chilled and able to function.

I drive nice and steady

I try keep below 3500RPM because my car uses more fuel after that and above 5250RPM I get about 11MPG

So no racing around for me

A Massey Ferguson is so much more reliable.

I don't get angry or annoyed, but I do drive along making comments on other peoples driving... My 5 year old has been known to say "Oh look mummy, another car that has optional indicators!" OOps.

Yes. I have changed my shirt, before now. Trousers I think may be more difficult!

I once tried to take my coat of at the lights. Does that count as changing?

Emphasis on 'tried' I ended up like I was wearing a straight jacket and missed green.

Ha ha! Out of the mouths of babes. My sister used to very bizarrely drive along making car engine noises. Until one day she was sat at a set of traffic lights doing it, having forgotten her car window was open! The lad in the lane next to her was staring at her like she was nuts!

Are you 100% sure you weren't really trying to escape the strait jacket ?

I change in the bathroom, but then put the finishing touches on behind the wheel, in a layby, prior to driving to my destination

Put on Radio 4 and learn or laugh as you drive...

Also an automatic makes for a more peaceful drive.

Also - Mint Imperials thrown backwards through your sunroof gets rid of most tailgaters!!

I tend to drive in a particular way when i'm on my own and with no passengers.

If i have people in the car, then i do change my style of driving to a certain extent. For me personally - responsibilities change.

...but my driving as a whole is generally the same i believe.

It depends. Sometimes I drive like I have all the time I the world, letting everyone else try and kill themself. Then there are the odd time when I am the psycho on the road, though I have to say those days are few and far between. Life is too short.

My brother told my other half that he drove ' like tw4t ' , when he queried the reason , he was told ' yesterday you set off from the lights like your arse was on fire racing that boyracer next to you ' when he was told that he wasn't driving that day and that he'd given me the car ...... Took a bit of explaining .....

I was a total road rage addict as a young man. Years later I think one thing made me see another side. A guy was coming along a main rd as I was pulling out of a car park onto a mini roundabout. . I had right of way but I could tell he wasn't going to stop . So i edged out as he came across, so he'd know he'd messed up . He looked at me and his face showed he was shocked. . Once behind him. . I saw him put up his hand as a sorry. All the anger in me dissolved. Really taught me a lesson that did

I've also spent a few years driving a lorry in towns etc. Taught me great anticipation skills and courtesy . Nowdays if someone does something stupid directly to me. . I either just shake my head or hold up my hands as if to say 'what was that ? ' people often say sorry and it's done. Tell you what is funny. . E mailing of calling a company who's driver has been acting the twerp. . Nothing better than reasonable indignation. Ha

Do about 50k miles a year - that's a big part of life in a car - very relaxed, get there when you get there attitude - be in a box, 6' under otherwise

Lots of poor drivers who feel safe in their own car, but completely oblivious to any one else!

Here's a funny one. Last night i'm driving down my street about 150 yards from home. A car comes from a side street at about 40mph and slams on the brakes to give way. . He's cut the corner so much, he's on the right rather than left. . So after i pass . . I decide it's time for him to slow down. Kids live on this rd . . So of course he's right up behind. . Flashing lights etc. . Parked cars either side. . So i stop . . Then crawl. . Bless him. . I see a car coming up the hill. . So i pull in to let him go. . Of course my friend now has to pass me. . . And he stops alongside. . I smile and wave . . He's livid. . Shouts something and spits at my car (it's very dirty already) off he speeds . I chuckle . What he's not realised is that it's pretty obvious he lives on the road he was speeding out of . His parents may get a letter soon ! Ha

I wouldn't say I change to much behind the wheel as I tend to be the sort of person that's chilled and as long as i have some music on to keep me occupied then I just go about my won business.

Lifes to short to get angry behind the wheel.

I have seen some epic arguments though whilst driving around where people have properly lost the plot and are now becoming a danger to other drivers.
