What are your driving bad habits.
Mine--
I love the SX handbrake. It is so well placed. It lies righ from your elbow to your hand. Your hand can naturally rest on the button. So i CLICK it to the music
all the time to the irritation of whoever is in the car.
Oh and i occasionally ..ahem(chase people)ahem...

Only one I can think of now is I grip the wheel with my thumbs. I'm gona wreck and break them someday...that'll teach me <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

i click it too..... lol let's see i also ummm....... hmmmm....... thats it lol

[Kid Zelda]

Sometimes I drive with my wrist...........my wrist in one of the openings on the steering wheel.

I have been driving without my rear view mirror, for a while now.

haha ..... i drive with my knees some times........ yah... lol

[AJ]

i have a bad habbit of seeing how long i can let go of the steering wheel and stay on the road............

LoL i might have to try that one out!!

[Kid Zelda]

And also my driver side mirror fell of on the freeway...........waiting for my JDM folding mirrors to come in.............so I only have my pass' mirror. &nbsp;Its hard driving with only one mirror........makes you a better, more aware....driver......or an idiot...either way........

[whateverjames]

i have no bad habits. i'm the perfect driver :cheesy:

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I like to pass into other lanes with really small openings. Other people around me do not like that, but I love it. I feel like such a bad-ass when I do it. I also like to take sharp turns and downshift into 2nd and floor it when I finally pass that person who has been driving like a worm in front of me for the last ten minutes. I also like to beat boys (read Road Rage topic).

Yeah I kinda have a bad habit of chasing people. &nbsp;And speeding around smokers. &nbsp;

Actually, I chased and caught a 2.7T Audi the other day, after he weaved in between 4 cars and myself while merging onto the freeway. &nbsp;Almost took off a guy's fender. &nbsp;Stupid old man with too much money. &nbsp;(Kinda looked like Sean Connery) &nbsp;Didn't even know how to drive. &nbsp;I think he was kinda surprised to see a muddy Nissan truck catching up to him. &nbsp;Fortunately I had the good sense not to beat the holy piss out of him. &nbsp;Wrote down his plate number and filed a complaint. &nbsp;If I find that car around town, though, I might steal his wheels. &nbsp;Anyone with something that nice almost wrecking doing stupid manuevers on the highway, doesn't deserve to drive it. &nbsp;Oh yeah, he looked pretty scared when I pulled a 180 e-brake into the other lane to turn around after I got his plate number. &nbsp;

I don't usually do these kinds of things, but the guy's actions were just inexcusable.

For the record, those Audi turbo versions aren't that quick until they hit the turbo. &nbsp;0-50, I was right on his butt.

I don't like braking too much, which is a good thing, let off the gas early and let the motor slow you down. . . But ebraking to avoid the brake lights coming on when you needa slow down quicker (IE: hiway patrollman) is prolly not so good <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

That and. . .uh. . . ####, I'm actually a curtious driver compared to you nutcases <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Try closing your eyes for 5 seconds and see if you could take the pressure/thrill... While you're driving straight by the way.

don't blame me if you kill anyone.

[transient]

Hmm, sounds like a lot of people click to the music. I do that all the time, hehehe

[chickenmanq]

#### yeah. &nbsp;Done that lotsa times. &nbsp;Then again, I grew up in Idaho, so we had lots of back roads to screw around on. &nbsp;Used to drive home without turning on the headlights. &nbsp;Never once put it in the ditch. &nbsp;Also outran a local Sheriff last December when I was home. &nbsp;Roads were kinda icy, but mangaed to slide the truck through the switchbacks at 45-50 mph. &nbsp;Lost the cop on the corners. &nbsp;Those big cruisers don't corner well. &nbsp;If it would have been straightaway, I'd have been toast. &nbsp;

My friend Ty gained the biggest crazy award though. &nbsp;He climbed out the passenger window on the hood of my friend Ryan's Ford Tempo, going 80 down a dirt road at night. &nbsp;Just for fun. &nbsp;He was hanging onto the rain gutters.

[groundzero]

my seat back to a 125degree angle, and one had stretched all the way out grabbing the steering wheel...

[DSC]

heh, chokudori, what you have to do is when your really sleepy play a game. close your eyes for one second and then open them, then close them for two, then three, and see how long it takes you to fall asleep <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[bing]

yeah i click to, i done that where i close my eyes for as long as i can until i think i might need to open them, i probbaly gone 10-15 seconds on more than one occasion.

one time during a long drive on the highway at night i put the cruise on at 121kph and let my friend steer while i took a nap in the driver seat. &nbsp;went for about 45 minutes with no problems, only time i ever used cruise.

i have a habit of changing the cd steering with my knees while answering my phone in a turn. i have a headset that i use but i have to answer without it.

You see, now that is very dangerous. But I think I do that anyway in heavy traffic or long stretch of road. There's just too many long stretches of road in the US...

[gh6o6]

Well let see...
-I drive with my knee (not slowly either)
-Same as above, with hand out sun roof - people HONK!
-I click it e brake (seems to be the favorite)
-Flash hibeams randomly (doesent matter if im in traffic)
-Set off the alarm (while im moving youd be surprised how many people pull over when the see all my lights blinking and my alarm siren)
-Change lanes without signaling
-Drive really slow on one lane highways so I piss the person behind me off and watch in the mirror
-Drive in the morning with all the windows foged/frosted because im always late and lazy
-swerve in my lane to confuse people
-come up on the back side of someone so they think im going to pass in a one lane and dont
-fishtail (i like that one)
thats all i can think of

[my240likenoother]

if some1 is driven slow on the back roads that i know like the back of my hand i usely turn off the lights and they dont know where i went and about 5-600 yards
and turn them back on freaks people out and they usely pull over
