will sit for 5-10 seconds before moving out on the green light

Of course. In parts of most big cities you have to wait that long for all the people crashing the new red light to clear out of the intersection. Anyone around here who starts moving right away at a green light is suicidal.

Ah, another barefoot driver. Actually, I drive with my right big toe. I wear sandals even in winter just so I can flick the right one off immediately upon entering the vehicle.

I couldn't identify myself in the list, but I thought this was interesting:

...and have little patience when other drivers make mistakes fall into the category of the "Auto-Bahner" personality.

I have patience when drivers make mistakes, but I want to explode when they intentionally drive like fools.

..As an Auto-Bahner your Auto-Pilots make me sick. Stay off the freeways and major roads. Thanks.<<

My thoughts precicely. The only part of that that did not fit me was the three drinks part. And yet I like the distinctiveness of my car and also find it very, VERY practical so I fit into those groups as well.

I drive a Scion xB.

"Auto-pilots" should have their licenses removed.

Seriously.

It's one simple rule. If you're driving the same speed as the people in the lane to the right of you..... then get in that lane.

Except when it's a 10 miles one lane road and a bar ditch on the right...

Those who drive "fast" and "aggressively"...

It is interesting that these two terms are so often combined. For some reason they never seem to label a driver as "aggressive" when they park themselves is the fast lane, and pile up a hundred cars behind them.

I got a ticket the other day for doing something similar. At a merge with a stoplight, from the left, the first person through the green (merged) decided he wanted to merge to a right lane and stopped dead with his blinker on. Obviously, since it was at a light, no one was going to stop in the middle of the intersection to let this jerk in. Since I was about five cars behind him, I blinked into the lane on the left of him and passed him, then merging back in front of him into the original lane. Well the car immediately behind him was a cop, DID THE SAME EXACT THING to get in front of this car and flash me. I got a careless driving ticket. WTF? And for you who think I'm a hot-rodder, I haven't had a ticket since I was 19-- two decades.

Reminds me of what George Carlin used to say,

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anybody who drives faster than you is a maniac."

Auto-Pilots rely on their cars for doing everyday chores, but do not feel that their vehicles represent who they really are. Women made up 71 percent of the Auto-Pilots and 90% of Austin, Texas drivers.

Driving on freeways here, you'd better be aware of your surroundings all the time, or someone will make a rather stupid move.

As an Auto-Pilot you Auto-Bahners make me sick. Next time your selfishness, arrogance, and impatience kills or maims someone, make sure it's you and not some innocent person. Thanks!!!

I drive an F-250 also. It got bigger after I bought it. I was almost killed by an illegal alien running a red light while a passenger in a Nissan Sentra. Now my ass is above the roofline of a Sentra. I can see everybody and nobody can say they didn't see me. Nice truck. It's like an airplane over 90 on the desert freeways between here and Vegas once in a while. You can do it there because you can see many miles in front of you. Turn on your lights when you pass a long 18-wheeler convoy doing 85 on the I-15 and I-70 at daybreak. They appreciate that.

I really learned how to drive in Spain over 20 years ago. Those autopistas are fast. My crappy little Seat 127 was geared high. You don't talk on a cell phone in one hand and a cigerette in the other on those freeways. Those are racetracks. You pay attention.
