[quote=Anonymous]When you say "not a good driver", do you mean that your cars get banged up because you run into curbs/parking pillars/whatever, or you get into accidents with other cars?  The latter is very serious: cars are great, but they can kill easily.  Your main concern should be the safety of you, your family, and everyone else on the road.

From this perspective:

In what way are you a bad driver? Inattentive? Poor reflexes? Carelessness? Distraction?

Before you or someone else gets seriously hurt, I suggest
1. Driving lessons.  If you have no idea what's causing you trouble, the instructor might have some ideas.

2. Improve your own driving practices by imposing rigid rules on yourself: full stops at stop signs, absolutely no speeding, absolutely no use of technology or maybe even radio while driving.  Map out routes ahead of time if needed.

3. This last one might be the hardest: in order to maximize your ability to drive safely, you must impose and enforce rules for non-distracting car behavior on your spouse/partner and kids.  Music and noise in the car is determined only by the driver.  Obviously kids/others are not ever to mess with windows and interior lights.

As for cars: get one with latest safety and "driver assistance" features.  And consider being an early adopter of self-driving cars![/quote]
