    anyone who’s terrified of driving should not drive. keep those people off the road. They are the ones who drive badly because they’re scared, And they make the roads dangerous for everybody else.

    I’ve driven across the United States five times with no problem. You just have to follow all the traffic laws and keep a safe following distance and use your turn signals, stay 100% focused on the road at all times, easy peasy. people who can’t do those things should stay off the roads. It’s better for them and better for everyone else.

      Mostly people who feel especially confident and secure tend to make crashes and mistakes.

        They are arrogant narcissists and they should not have driver’s licenses either. It was terrifying for me to be in the passenger seat of my ex-boyfriend. He was the definition of this kind of driver and he was always intoxicated too. I learned a lot about the mindset of shitty drivers on the road when I was in his passenger seat. Surprised I survived and surprised he is still alive.
