How Safe Of A Driver Are You?

Please Share!
*This is a partnered post. Opinions and story are my own.

How safe of a driver are you? I would like to say that I am a VERY safe driver. I have only had two tickets in my life. One was when I  was taking my husband’s elderly grandmother to church. Her and I were talking and I was intently listening to her so I was going about 10 over the speed limit and did not realize it…

safe driving

The next time I got a ticket I was in the passenger seat of a friend’s car and we were JUST pulling out of a parking lot and I was literally in the middle of putting on my seatbelt! We were pulled over because I was NOT quite wearing my seatbelt yet…. Ya, that pissed me off so much!!

So two tickets…. UGH.

Whenever I drive, no matter what, I always drive the speed limit. I might, once in a while go 5 or even 10 miles over the speed limit, but for the most part I am a speed limit driver. Some people get SO annoyed with me and that gives me terrible anxiety! I hate it when other drivers tail me or get too close.. what is the point of doing that? So irritating! I could understand if I was driving UNDER the speed limit, but I think if someone is driving the speed limit or a bit over, stay off their BUTTS! It is annoying to say the least. Those kinds of drivers could use some safe driving tips ASAP.

So, how safe of a driver are you? Is your driving record a mess or is it clean? 🙂

    I have never had a ticket, but that’s surely just luck. But I consider myself a safe driver. Doing the speed limit, etc.

    I am 47 years old and have zero traffic tickets (knock on wood) I think my OCD has a lot to do with that. Everyone has to be in their seatbelt before I will even start my car. I always go the speed limit unless other wise unable do to slow traffic. I have actually kicked my brother in law out of my car and made him walk home because he took of his seat belt and refused to put it back on. I am a very courteous driver. My weakness are parking lots, I have the worst anxiety in parking lots, so I drive slow and if I see back up lights I always let them pull out I do not try to go around them and so on.

    I think i am a very safe driver and i agree i hate when people beep or tailgate when they feel you are going to slow and you are doing the speed limit 2 minutes is not worth a 2 or 3 hundred dollar fine to me

    When I first got my driver’s license, I wasn’t a safe driver. Although, that was a long time ago and haven’t had a ticket in years. I’m a safe driver. 🙂

    Id like to think I’m a decent driver. I have gotten only one ticket. Not because of my doing but because my husband forgot to switch the license plate sticker. Ill always be nervous because 9 times or of 10,my kids are always in the car.
