Your driving weakspots

[waynne]

What is your biggest weak spot whilst driving? Do you have one habit that is likely to cause an accident that keeps cropping up?

I tend to forget to look left when moving lanes on a motorway, I'm usually going much quicker than the cars to the left of me but I've been caught out a few times.

I also tend to get distracted with things inside the car like the trip computer/radio and will probably wind up doing something silly if I don't try to get a handle on this habit.

When on long motorway drives I tend to zone out and just go into automatic mode. Kinda worries me sometimes 'cause I can go for half an hour without concentrating at all!

I do a lot of motorway driving and I do tend to hit the "zone" on occasion, i.e. what the hell just happened to the last hour?
Very easy to switch off for me anyway if the journey starts to get a little monotonous!

You hope anyway! The front end will do!!! haha

On a tee junction on wet days. When traffic is bad, and you have to pull out and accelarate quick, I sometimes forget the power of my baby, floor her in the wet from stand still on a 90 degree turn. Back end kicks out a wee bit from time to time.

I love it when people who have only ever driven there ''driving lesson'' car and there ''first car'' no little about how a responsive steering actually feels! lol

I have just been given a Chevi to drive out here. It is terrible. Awful to be fair. The steering is probably the worst I have ever had.

[MasterAuron]

Worst I've ever had is the Corsa D, you have absolutely no idea what the front wheels are doing. Tbh I wasn't even sure they were attached most of the time.

Electric PAS FTL! I've not yet driven one anywhere near as good as good old hydraulic.

[stamford]

Winter and snow.............why do people drive so slow.............oh yea forgot I'm driving a Land Rover

[PedroS]
