Do you drive for everybody on the road or do drivers have to drive for you?

This was asked in 2010, and none of the folks that answered are here any more, so let’s have another go.

I drive with an awareness of what other drivers may need soon. For example, on a right lane that is ending. If I’m in the left lane, and the right lane is ending, I’ll hang back until the driver in the right lane wakes up and realizes his lane is ending. Floors me how often they just bonzie along and suddenly find themselves following the white line down to a 2 lane…with out once looking in their mirrors.

I always leave PLENTY of room between me and the car in front of me, for other drivers to move in and out of that space comfortably.

I think too many people see driving as some sort of competition,and politeness and consideration as some sort of weakness.

I don’t expect others to cater to me, except in logical situations, right of way, whatever. I don’t expect others to cover for me, the way I cover for them. It’s very nice when they do, though!
