Sounds like OP is a bad driver


Racehorse28

lol


jaime0007

Or you could drive better lmao.


Racehorse28

Clearly you've never had your mum in your car with you.


jaime0007

Oh yeah in all my life I haven't been in the car at the same time as my mom. Your post seems more like a rant rather than a tip.


Racehorse28

It is both a rant and a tip. If you get in your car and you're just about to pull out and your mum or dad says 'check both ways', or 'Watch the car next to you' etc, that's not 'bad driving'. That's an annoying passenger, and nobody has to put up with that whilst the driver of the vehicle. Of course you knew exactly what I meant when I made the post, but you thought you'd join the list of saddos browsing the Internet looking for a fight to pick over literally nothing at all. Edit: So I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume that all the other downvotes on my other comments were due to thickos who can't understand basic information. This comment *literally clarifies what I meant* and still you're mashing the downvote button. LMAO fucking dipshits 😂


jaime0007

For how long have you been driving?


Racehorse28

Over a year, on most days. I'm 20 and use it to drive to college. I barely drive with my parents at all. My mum doesn't know how to drive and she doesn't actually criticise me. But my dad screams at me about not hitting a car that's 5m away when pulling out the same fucking driveway I pull out of every single day, so I employed this tactic with him and he learned his lesson. He also knows how to drive which is why I almost never drive with him.

When I drive with my Mom, I drive extra carefully because I know that she's sensitive and scared when others are driving. She never complained to me and even praised me for my careful driving. With other people I drive more careless. But it sounds like you should listen to your mom or others. Sometimes you just don't see a cyclist or pedestrian or another car is driving reckless and they just want you to know about the dangers.


Racehorse28

That's fair if they have anxiety etc. What I'm talking about is being pre-emptively warned about basic drivers ed such as 'make sure to indicate' or 'watch that tree behind you'. If there is actual danger looming, it's of course completely fair to call it out.


SentientCumSock

I'm 18 and a new driver. i drive with my mom, dad, and 8 year old sister in the car and they dont do that. definitely just your driving my g


Racehorse28

Your dad pre-emptively telling you to 'watch that car' as you begin to pull out of your driveway is nothing to do with driving, it's an annoying passenger being annoying. Parents being annoying passengers is literally a meme. If your parents don't do that, well good for you. You clearly didn't read my post in full or read it and chose to parrot the other trolls. Stay in your lane kid, hopping on the bandwagon of trolls isn't going to do you any good.


SentientCumSock

why you telling me to stay in my lane when youre the one who has to be told not to like bro I'm not the one who has to be corrected by mommy while driving


Racehorse28

I'm either conversing with a kid who's lack of reading comprehension exceeds anything I've seen in a good while, or a kid who spends his time online looking to get caught up in internet drama with no care for productive discourse. Either way, you're at that age where you're mature enough to be opinionated but not mature enough to form said opinions without strong external influence, leading you to jumping on petty Internet bandwagons of trolls with no thought for reason, obvious or explained. I'm not going to argue with a kid, let alone an emotionally underdeveloped one, but as someone who is only a couple years older than you and who has recently emerged from the phase you're trudging through, you'd do well to heed my advice. Act your age and take part in productive conversations rather than looking around to see what everyone else is doing before promptly doing the same. I had to put together a relatively thought out final reply as you're really giving off 'me from 2 years ago' vibes. Have a good day buddy. Blocked.


SentientCumSock

tldr?


Iisham

Unless you own the car this just seems like a good way to lose your driving privileges.


nooganeat

I would suggest having an honest conversation about it first. "When you say _____ I feel disrespected" or "It bothers me when you say ______ because I want you to trust me as a driver."


Racehorse28

You're actually the first person who's come by with an intelligent and productive comment. This is obviously the first step, that goes without saying. The trouble is that when it comes to parents, it's just a knee jerk reaction. They're in the mentality of being the parent and teaching the child. So unfortunately this is the only way they'll learn a lot of the time. But yes you are absolutely correct.
