Do you take fewer risks driving if other people are in the car?

Asked by JLeslie (65415points) April 8th, 2012

If you know a passenger does not like aggressive driving do you cool it when they are with you? What if you have children in the car? If you tend to drive very safely anyway, I guess the question does not apply to you, but for those who like to drive a little too fast, tailgate sometimes, never use signals, and whip around blind corners, do you change your driving habits if you are not alone?

If you do alter the way you drive, is it because the other person will complain? Or, because you really don’t want to risk the possibility of being responsible for them being injured?

If you don’t change your driving when others complain you are driving unsafely is it because you don’t believe it is unsafe? Because no one is going to tell you what to do? Because they are being overcautious?
