Bad Drivers - How do you deal?

[Anonymous]

Well, I keep telling myself that I'd rather be safe than right. I try to let it go- as long as I'm safe and not in a wreck, I try not to let it bother me. Perhaps a low bar to set, but I've never once been in an accident in my entire driving career, and hope to keep it that way. I do, however, keep my almost 3 year old RFing and my older child harnessed b/c I figure there are so many bad drivers in this area, that I'd best prepare for the worst.

I deal with this problem every single day and i have a new born baby in my car sometimes but believe me i am not a slow driver or make any mistakes but you cannot really do anything. Don't let dumb drivers ruin your day or risk your life. Just ignore them unless they repeatedly risking your life and your son's then call 911. It is pointless to argue with them or respond back to them, you will just end up being one of them. At the end of the day, you are a smart, just minding your own business and they will realize no one cares about them even tho they are driving expensive cars or those attention seekers.

Be safe out there!

It seems like every single time I go out to do something around here, I am cut off, tailgated, etc. and it drives me bonkers. I live in the Manassas/Bristow area and I don't drive slowly either, or in the left lane unless I'm passing.

First STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE. NOT THE LEFT LANE.

Second, stay far behind the person that YOU think is a 'bad driver".

I learned to drive in Boston so maybe I'm just tolerant.

Funny I learned to drive in Boston too and I am the same way. The drivers around here don't bother me.

If someone from Boston tells you the drivers here are awful - they are!
