Autopian Drivers

[mtodde]

I think Autopian drivers park differently - close to landscaped borders/dividers to minimize door dings for example.

You're right. I find myself parking further and further away. Work is my only problem area, but at least the spaces are generous there.



Driving wise, I tend to be pretty safe but like to have fun every once in a while.

I do "parking survey" before going to a place which I'm not familiar with. Will ask around where is the best place to park, preferably covered and independent bungalow parking lot. Also always carry a map with me to plan the route in advance to avoid traffic jam. Some people find it hassle to do it this way, but I find that it reduces the hassle for me by avoiding unwanted troubles. Do the right thing in the first place will avoid costly repair.

I detail my car on the weekend and bike to work during

the week.



PS: 80% of American drivers believe they are above-average drivers. Go figure...

I'll only park between two cars if the spaces are wide, otherwise it is end spots or far out. It kills me to see a person park their BMW, Lexus, Porsche, or whatever they're driving, in the tightest spot around just because it is the closest. More money than sense I suppose...



I have been known to park in grass if I cannot find a suitable parking spot, LOL.

Autopian Drivers are mostly careful drivers. What do you think?

of course! we don't want anyone to hit our cars!



for me, i'm pretty careful, well more so now than before. i guess you can call it being defensive. yet, give me an open road, freeway, or space, and i'll be going a little faster than the other drivers. it's worse if my car just has been rained on because the rain only starts to blow off at 60 mph.



and i'm not too good at times because i'll be looking at my hood to see how reflective it is. or if i see a nice black or red car that looks like it just has been detailed.
