What i notice first when i see people driving is what they're doing. It's a fast glimpse but it says a lot about their personalities, there are those who drive aggressively, people who are calm, people who don't really pay attention, those who are overly cautious, there's endless examples of different types of drivers just like there's a bunch of different personalities. Everyone drives differently, and everyone has different personalities. I think it reflects who we are because we are the ones pressing the gas and turning the wheel, making all the decisions in what to do, and what not to do. We decide the rights and wrongs. People who drive aggressively are most likely in a hurry or just love the thrill of going fast. I would say i'm an example of an aggressive driver, i think mainly because i'm very impatient so when i'm driving i want to get from point a to point b, so i speed around a little bit. Although i can't really tell if i have an aggressive personality, my impatient-ness makes me drive agressively. An example of a calm driver is my dad, he moves slow, waits for cars to go by before he makes a move, doesn't flip the bird when someone cuts him off, and thats his personality all the way. He makes decisions slowly, thinking them out. He doesn't ever get fired up when someone angers him. He's just a peaceful person, and thats how his driving is also. I do also think personalities change when your beind the wheel for some, I can't remember which movie but theres this guy whos overweight and has no self confidence. There's this one scene where he's driving an incredibly nice/expensive car and he pulled up to a group of good looking girls and acted all hot stuff when they looked at him. I think if he wasn't sitting in that car and was a regular guy on the street he wouldn't of been so confident in front of them. So yes people feel more confident, powerful, or even relaxed when they're driving than in everyday life.
I have never been in a serious accident and hope never to be. I've only been in a couple fender benders. Although one time, when i just got my liscense a friend and I went over to seaside one night to hang out with some friends. I let my friend drive on our way home. It was raining out and my car is terrible in the rain. As we were going over the bridge to go back into Toms River we hit a bump and my car started to fish tail. She tried to control it but we ended up spinning out and hitting the side of the bridge. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me so far. Luckily we were fine and so was my car. Thats really the only exciting story i have to tell about me being in an accident.
To finish this off, the kind of driver i want to be is someone like my dad, he's calm and doesn't let anyone make him mad while he's driving, which in return makes me calm when i'm in the car with him. It is more enjoyable that way. He also has never been in a serious accident so that makes him even more a driving role model to me.
