here's mine...

1. One hand. Twelve o'clock on the sterring wheel.
2. And I drive with both feet on auto.
PDURRR
1)i like to keep my left hand around 6 o clock on the steering wheel and my right around 2 lol
uh iono what else
2)sometimes i forgot to check my blind spots >_>
3)i speed when its really early in the morning around 5-6am lol
MINJI.v
1. I keep saying "I suck at driving, I suck at driving" like it's a mantra or something when I get on the freeway,, lol
2. I back out a lot more than I need to when I leave my parking spot sleep.gif
3. I always fix my parking so that it's "perfect"
4. I always take a brief inspection of my car to see if there are any damages before I get in and start driving
5. My hands are both on the driving wheel at all times even during red lights lol (3 o'clock, 9 o'clock)
Clix
whenever i start braking, i stick it in neutral and let off the brake a little bit before i come to a complete stop.

i always drive at least one car behind someone and stay at least 2 feet behind someone at a stop.

my left is at 10 and my right at 5 or e-brake.

when i park, i always park to give the driver side more room than the passenger.

1.) i drive with one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter.

2.) i never follow the speed limits, but i do not go beyond 80 MPH. if it's on roads, then i tend to go no more than 5 MPH over the speed limit.

3.) i'm douchebag to other 'ricers' that act like complete (the total package) douchebags by suddenly braking harder if they are tail-gating me. (p.s. - i dont race on the streets, i just get more attraction by reason #2)

4.) i always use the turn signal unlike the rest of the state of virginia

5.) when i come to a stop i never go into 1st gear...i dont know why. 1st gear to me feels like it's going to break...(from any car i owned)

6.) i have a tendency of flashing my lights when there is no traffic @ a light.

7.) i dont wear a seatbelt unless i see a cop chasing me.... ^^;

Sometimes I forget to check over my shoulders when I switch lanes and end up running the rear end of my car into the front end of the car behind me.

And more than once, I ALMOST rear-ended someone.

And... I don't know if this one's wierd, but when I drive, my leg muscles get tense.
yuna
my leg gets tensed too whenever I stick my foot to cover the brake..

habits:
- left hand on 8, right on 2
- don't like rolling down my side's window...even if I do..just an itsy bit
- listen to my disc more than radio..haha
ahndee
-Most of the times my left hand is at 11 and right hand at 5. But sometimes my left hand is on 7 and right hand is on 4
-I don't pay attention to the road sometimes.
MC Muffin
Windows usually down
Left hand at 9-10:00 ..right is usually on the shift knob or resting on the center console
I Always back into parking spaces, out in the boondocks
If I pass a cop on an undivided road, I'll high beam oncoming traffic
I occasionally rev under overpasses/bridges tongue.gif
itz_jOw3
I seriously cant drive without music...

Esp. without aloott of BASS =)
Daikirai
If I have to pull over, I'm always far away from the curb because I'm scared I'll scratch the front of my car.
I can't drive on the right lane because I'm afraid I'll hit them and flip over.
To park in a space, I always have someone tell me how far I can keep going before I hit the.. thingie.. o_o
I accidentally hit the windshield wipers on trying to shift into reverse. I stopped that already.

stonerboi27
music has to be on
always get this feeling everyone is trying to race me.. even huge trucks! when someone passes me im like "motherfu***r!"
paranoid in tight parking garages(scratched up my damn rim last time leaving school)
terrible with cigarretes and ashing..
usually hold the wheel around 5 oclock with right hand on highways
flash oncomming cars after passing a cop car
i like to drive down country roads =)

lol ... on my 3rd driving lesson my dad told me to switch lanes so i did. without checking the mirror or looking over my shoulder. hHAHAHA.

and when i pulled out of my driveway i forgot to put it on 'drive' (you know... how it's on reverse) and then i accelerated to go forward and almost rear-ended the car coming up the road and he had to swerve.
BBShine
.Loud music
.Left hand on wheel
.Always back-in to park
.Paranoid, so I always check my car for scratches

Da-Re
Windows down
Music Up
i ALWAYS stop at a yellow light.. even if it means that three more car can go.. so if you're behind me.. HONK ALL YOU WANT.. HAHA SUCKERS biggrin.gif
Both hands are always on the wheel, and i never talk on the phone will driving. Whenever someone does, it drives me crazy :X
onesh0t
i've noticed i've gotten super lazy when it comes to parking now. Like i'll do poor jobs at parking and i won't bother to fix it at all. ahahha

though i've always gotta have the windowns down, music blastin, me singing along, and my left hand out the window.
Shinobu
1. Always check tires and underneath of vehicle before driving.
2. Tank must always be at least half full.
3. Left hand on 7-9
4. Always check sides and rear while driving.
5. Don't do anything other than driving.
6. Only drive 65-72 mph
7. Only change lanes if really need to (and always check blind spot.)
koneee
1. Road rage (when you grow up in an area filled with asian drivers, like ricers and old ladies and geezers, they just tick you off) Also those crazy people who keep cutting you off without signalling and making all these illegal turns. OH my goodness. freakin east side -____-;
2. Singing along to KLOVE :DDDD
3. My left foot sometime sits on the seat =x
4. Always checking my rear-view/side mirrors
5. Always signal (I hate people who don't signal)
ZiGeNX77
I turn my head left and right constantly when turning into a lane. I look like a paranoid freak.

When changing into the right lane while looking back at the lane, I move my entire body almost against the steering wheel.
x SaRaNg HaE x
I always use turn signals. It pisses me off when people don't use them.
Left hand on 8 and right hand on 4.
Music is always on.
josephdael
driving at full speed .. even in rushes
switchlanez
[1] hands on 9 and 3 o'clock so i can rest my elbows on the armrests.

[2] in checking blind spots, i use handy convex mirrors on my sides as well whenever i "switchlanez." blush.gif

[3] i brake while in gear until about 15 mph, at which point i stick it in neutral and brake.

[4] i heel-toe thru turns and heal-toe downshift when i decelerate. i rev-match. i put all my effort in minimizing jerkiness between shifts.

[5] i play by ear and upshift/downshift without looking at the tach or speedo except when i'm very concerned with following the speed limit.

[6] i shift hard and fast and sometimes hear grinding when the synchros can't keep up (it's bad, i know dry.gif ).

[7] I DON'T WANT DOOR DINGS! i park on the far ends of a row of parking spaces and space myself as far away from the car next to me and use the convex side mirrors to avoid curb rash on the side where there's no car next to me. i prefer parallel parking over all else. rolleyes.gif

[8] when i have 1 bar or less on my fuel gauge (which is a bad habit to even let it go that low), i drive in neutral as much as possible (like when going downhill!) because, amidst my paranoia, every drop of fuel is crucial. crazy.gif

[9] i cringe/my heart skips a beat whenever i go over a deep pothole or crack. then when i go outside, i search like a madman for a bend in my rims. crazy.gif

[10] i love driving at night. wub.gif
flyaway
2. And I drive with both feet on auto.
^hahaha this is so bad

1. i drive onehanded, sometimes left sometimes right. sometimes with water/beverage on the other hand. usually either 5 o'clock or 7 o'clock...hand is in a "claw" position, as named by my bf
2. i drive barefooted (is this bad?)
3. road rage (=x im hot headed)...
4. if a driver tailgates me, i either slow down or speed up until i match the speed of the car next to me, and then i drive as slowwwwwwwly as the person next to me. hahaha you stupid tailgater, what you do now beech?? they usually get the point and back off a little, which is when i kindly forgive them and i go a bit faster
5. left foot on seat
6. hate driving at night...can't see well =x
7. brake super late...if anyone else in the car, very common response: OMG YOURE GOING TO FREAKIN HIT THEM!!! me: stfu you know i wont there's plenty of space (inches up some more until i almost touch the car) hehe :].

lol im a really scary driver hun

~ BunnyliciouS ~
I sometimes drive with my mind blank, so when I'm arrived at the destination, I say," Hei, when did I get here?"

MeijerBranTM
i typically speed, yet i get lucky and not to often get tickets (knock on wood)
i also always shift to neutral when stopping so i don't have to clutch and brake.
i also have a tendency to rev at ricers...
I also try to get mid-life crises guys in mustangs and corvettes (c5 non z06 and slower) to race me, because it's fun to show them up in a vw...
