People are idiots. I’ve never had to use my horn as much as I have had to driving here

I was taught that no one has the right of way at a 4 way stop intersection.

2. Don't use your horn in anger.

3. Don't tailgate EVER. Leave a car length between the car ahead of you for each 10MPH.

Me, I don't think speeding is dangerous by default. The details matter. 80 on the highway? If you're alert, it's perfectly fine. 80 on a local road? Um, no. If it's 35, 45 can be totally safe. IF it's 45, 60 can be fine.

There are TONS of unsafe "slow" (or speed limit) drivers who are distracted, do not have good control, and are unsafe. I say this as someone who's lived car-less for many years, and still lives in a highly walkable area (and walks a lot myself). The person going speed limit but on a hands free phone call, is WAY more distracted than someone going 15 over, but fully present.

What's your unpopular driving opinion?

When I hear Md criticize VA drivers, and vice versa - I find it hilarious, since both sets are awful drivers.

Yep I'm leaving 6 feet between myself and the next car, because I can.

Sorry for your inadequacy and insecurities. Buy a more normal sized car next time.
