Im a good driver. Not too experienced (and without licence, since the age limit for drivers lincence in Norway is 18) but very safe overall. Driving fast on more lonely roads are my favorite thing to do!

Dunno which one to choose, second or third option... I'm pretty inexperienced but I have to drive around a lot, freeways and stuff, so that'll fix soon. Recently someone backed out into the street right in front of me and I dodged it very nicely, so I guess I'll go for second.

however I suck at parallel parking.Ouch

I consider myself a very professional driver. I drove more than 50000 km/year (that's 30000 miles/year for you Americans) the last 18 years, and never had any accident... drive carefully, leave enough distance, but don't drive sluggish,  and try to anticipate all the time...

text-messaging while driving? neat ... I'll try playing DT's "Finally Free" on my acoustic guitar while driving

I belong between the 2nd and the 3rd choice, but I voted for the 3rd: "I Am overall a safe driver but needs more experience". I have a very low reaction time in things which is very good. However, I only drove for 2 years, and I notice I am not perfect in some specific things.

Ggenerally, a safe driver. But from time to time, when someone does something stupid, I get even more stupid and kind of try to "get even" so then I look like a neurotic idiot behind the wheel...Tongue... Also, lately I've been text-messaging too much while driving... I guess that's not safe...

I'm an okay driver, but I dislike it a lot.  I wish public transportation didn't suck here so I wouldn't need to drive as much.  While driving, I never pay much attention so to compensate I drive slowly (especially for someone my age).

I had started driving with my parents when I moved to the UK but I kind of zoned out while driving and veered over onto the other side a few times...thats the worst of my driving habits....so hard to concentrate during a hot summers day.

Must be really frustrating, getting caught behind a platoon of cybermen - ("Doctor the cybermen are after us what shall we do?" - "Briskly walk away..."). And they never pull over to let you past... You would have thought the flashing blue-light on top of the Tardis would give them a clue wouldn't you. LOL
 
I'm affraid I drive like GTA-3 is a driver-training programme. Wink
 
I could do with some front-mounted machine guns like on James Bond's DB5 - I reckon they'd be much more effective than just screeming at the moron in front (especially after they've pull-out of a side road, almost taking the front of my car off in the process, and who then crawl along at 40mph causing a 5 mile tailback). Or a rocket launcher, because that would clear the road at the same time, though the exhaust might scorch the paintwork.

Don't drive anymore. The Mrs prefers to drive.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I try to be safe, but I'm too inexperienced. I only have a learner's permit and can't drive on some major highways, but for normal street/route driving, I can handle myself pretty well. The thing is that I'm one of the very few people who observe the speed limit, so I drive with quite a few cars behind me. It's not my fault everyone prefers to be lawbreakers than safe.

I forgot about that possibility, I changed my "other" choice to something like that, and replaced "I don't drive" to 'other'

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
