So, like the title says, how is your driving? Did you take time to get used to it or was is simple for you? And what do you drive? xD

For me, I picked it up when my brother was learning. So, now I'm taking the car everyday (I don't have a license. I'm 17 still (we get a license at 18 x()) I am driving an X6 now.

I'd say I drive pretty well. I'm certainly not one of those rude/overly impatient drivers that plague Atlanta. I also use my blinkers, unlike a lot of people.

I remember some things taking a while for me to get used to when I was learning to drive at around 16/17, like backing and of course parallel parking. I'm still not really fond of doing either, but at least the latter is quite rare for me to need to do.

I do drive. I drive better than my dad.

I think I'm a good driver. Not the best, but good. I'm fairly kind with other cars as well. I'll stop for someone who I can tell if having a hard time getting past. I think it's drivers responsibility to look out for not only themselves, but other drivers on the road. Shame others may disagree.

Well since I practically "made" my car by myself (engine was a mess when I got it), and I've been driving for almost two years now, even though I'm seventeen, I'd say I'm pretty god at it! I taught two of my best friends to drive too...
Oh btw I'm driving an Opel Calibra...

I tend to be a bit too careful when I drive... going a bit below the speed limit, stopping for longer at stop signs, tuning out everything but the road.

Most recently I've driven my family's 2000 Buick LeSabre. Someday I want to get an '85 model.

Pretty simple; I'd already driven tractors before a car and been educated in how the clutch works an' all. I have no problems with any aspects of driving, and enjoy it.

I own a 1.0L four-door Austin-Rover Mini Metro. It's not a major classic or anything but I'm proud of it being a British-made car on British roads; it's depressing that we don't make our own cars anymore.

I got my license earlier this year, even though I've been told I'm a great driver, I'm scared to death of getting in an accident so I make sure I'm not driving recklessly.

I'm a pretty good driver. I drive carefully and obey the rules. (Sometimes I do tend to go over the speed limit though.)

I'd say I'm a pretty good driver to not be easily distracted by what goes on inside the car, even with a cranky 6 year old having a hissy-fit in the back seat and screaming her lungs out. I do have somewhat of a lead foot, though, and I gotta do something about that, such as leaving for my destinations earlier than I currently usually manage

I'm still on my Learner's Permit until I turn eighteen because of the driving laws in the part of Australia where I live, but personally I think I'm a better driver than my mum (not my dad, however). Driving is relatively easy to pick up, but it's the little things like remembering to turn windscreen wipers off and operating the gear box which are the hard parts, not the actual steering and accelerating/braking.

I am a good driver when I want to be. I am more concerned about other peoples driving then my own because most of the drivers I deal with seem brain dead, their a hurry to get some where, on there cell phone and or have their heads up their ... When I am in the city I am usually more attentive and I have noticed through out the years I am a little more responsible, because when I drove in high school I went like 60 in a 40 almost every day and didn't think of the consequences nor was I paying insurance at the time. Some times I do go 100 and over when no one is on the road after I get off work but that is very rare. I currently drive a 2000 Dodge Interpid.
