What best describes your driving style?

Depends upon my mood. Peak of summer & winter I can get into a "pass everyone" state of being. The rest of the time I just hit cruise at say 5 over.

Will say that learning how to survive in MA traffic means I don't think much of a number of "aggressive" driving styles. Passing on the right, following a couple car lengths--doesn't faze me, be it me or them doing it.

Hypermiler?
 
Quick, but relaxed. Until I comes across some moron....

I get it, your in sunny south Florida on vacation and the world revolves around you. Idiots.


Because all the Canadians down there are 80+ year old people from Quebec.

Nailed it! LOL!

A buddy of mine who is in his late 60's just got back from there actually, LOL! And I know his driving style is probably exactly what bubbatime is complaining about

Depends on the vehicle:
Liberty or Cherokee: Normal, they're not really that fast or torquey feeling plus neither have a great engine soundtrack.
LR3 or old Cherokee: Normal but I might go a little harder on the gas bc it's fun, they're the peppy ones of the fleet. LR3 has a great engine sound too!

Jeez, chill out dude ...

It's a world getting ever more crowded. You gotta deal with it.

When I was a kid we had less than half our current population and more F&F roads so we could drive fast all we wanted. Even then I wrecked cars racing and lived on "assigned risk insurance" ...

Have not had any significant tickets since I sold my Audi, twenty seven years ago. Been driving 56 years and with a Class A. I try not to hit other folks or damage my equipment.

Would like to take out a few Prius's before I go, but prolly won't actually do it.

I guess you could say my driving style is "old", but I still seem to be passing a lot of other drivers ...

I think he refers to the times when semis and RVs in the 2 right lanes are pretty much passing everybody pilled up in the left lane while doing posted speed or posted speed+5 .....

Escape: 50% patient, 40% assertive, 10% aggressive.
Suburban: 10% patient, 40% assertive, 50% aggressive.

Basically, I'm a very rude, pushy driver, but I try to be nice in the Escape because it's a flimsy FWD turd that I still have to pay on even if I blow up the tranny and I really don't want that to happen - plus the little four-cylinder just sounds so bleh to drive in a spirited manner.

Aggressive and impatient. Left lane doing the speed limit? GTFO of my way. Hybrid drivers? Go get a bike if you want to be green.
 
I'm patient most of the time. My commute is pretty mellow and I like to hypermile a bit so I try to find some space to do it. The only semi aggressive thing I like to do is keep my speed up for the corners, even better if someone is tailgating a bit and finds themselves turning harder than they expected... Being "aggressive" with other traffic on two lane roads is recipe to have a big accident at some point.
 
I'm calm and non-aggressive. I obey the speed limits on small roads but may go above it in highways. I don't get upset at other drivers for going too slow or too fast. I'm simply alert for any eventualities that may happen.
