I'm the speeder, yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1693959 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:01:14 +0000 Meridian 1693959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he is the safest driver I know!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1693023 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:07:34 +0000 anonysquire 1693023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. He is blind and doesn't ever check before backin up and assumes he always has the ride away. And that is why he will never ever be able to drive our kids around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692788 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:43:54 +0000 autumnlove 1692788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Same answer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692774 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:40:02 +0000 cyndistar3 1692774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: exactly this! Haha I can't remember the last time I rode with him that I didn't brace myself and scream his name because I was I always think he is going to rear end someone, it seems like he doesn't even see brake lights! And he is always yelling at people that go the speed limit and not 5 over... God forbid anyone go under the speed limit lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692751 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:32:06 +0000 Greentea 1692751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is not :( I used to have a sports car and we had to get rid of it because it made him drive wild. He still got in an accident with my truck :( I have really worked to help him and it has been three years no accidents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692743 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:29:27 +0000 LAZB 1692743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I feel the same way about my husband. I think he is a safe driver, but his anger at other drivers and impatience worries me sometimes.<br /> I think that he thinks I'm a very safe driver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692734 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:27:31 +0000 .twist. 1692734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Yea. Not fun. He has realized a little that it gives me anxiety, so he tries to not drive like that with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692731 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:27:24 +0000 loveisstrange 1692731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: @ctegge0416: Oh man. This!</p> <p>DH has a good driving record, which I guess makes him a safe driver. However, I find that he's kind of erratic, get easily impatient/frustrated when he's in a hurry, and LOVES to stomp the brakes last minute instead of a slow brake. Its terrifying to ride with him because Im always positive he's going to rear-end someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692729 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:27:02 +0000 septca 1692729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ctegge0416: My conversations usually go the opposite - my husband is a terrible backseat driver. Every time I drive, I end up shouting something like, "I have been driving for more than 15 years without your help!!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692725 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:26:09 +0000 septca 1692725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692716 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:24:45 +0000 LBee 1692716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: @ctegge0416: I could have written both of these.

Yes, definitely. He has excellent reflexes, is very aware of everything around him, and keeps his focus on the road.</p> <p>Do I feel safe driving with him? NO! My husband is the worst stereotype of an urban, East Coast driver. He is impatient, angry, lead-footed, and horn-happy. He's never been in an accident, but man... I ride around white-knuckled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692664 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:08:58 +0000 Weagle 1692664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's very safe. He's a very good driver. He's not as cautious as I am, though. We've both become impatient east coast drivers since moving to DC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692648 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:02:23 +0000 Ra 1692648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He drives like a grandpa. I'm the one with a lead foot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692618 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:53:38 +0000 MrsTiz 1692618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'l be the first to say no :P not that he's UN-safe, he's just not the best driver I've ridden with. He's a little road-ragey :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692556 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:37:46 +0000 looch 1692556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is a European driver, which is totally different than an American driver. When he drives in the US, I have to sit in the backseat, not because he's reckless or anything, but we just have different ways of dealing with things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692545 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:34:53 +0000 Mae 1692545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he is safe in terms of not getting into injury accidents. He's pretty cautious but also a stellar merger (something I struggle with) so I feel like driving around he is very safe. But I think he's way more likely to get into very minor fender benders because he is not awesome at maneuvering is small spaces and I always feel like he's going to hit something when he likes... tries to go between 2 parked cars. </p> <p>I think he's say I'm mostly safe but he thinks I'm too aggressive. I think I'm perfectly safe :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692540 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:33:39 +0000 snowjewelz 1692540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is def the safer driver... I'm the one that tends to speed :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692529 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:30:39 +0000 PurplePumps 1692529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely. Probably more so than me cause I will check my phone and text sometimes, and he's always telling me not to or refusing to talk to me in the car (before I had bluetooth). I also get more impatient and am more aggressive than him. But in terms of skill, awareness, and handling, we are both the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692509 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:25:50 +0000 pui 1692509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Overall, I'd say yes. He's a really good driver and really aware of his car and such, but sometimes he isn't as attentive as I would like. He does have some habits that make me a little nervous.</p> <p>I'm a pretty new driver, so I'm super attentive with both hands on the wheel at all times lol, but I'm not as experienced/good a driver as DH is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692490 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:21:14 +0000 Alivoo01 1692490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes and no, but leaning more towards no. the biggest thing is that he texts/facebooks while driving. *shudders* No matter how many times I get onto him, he still does it. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692227 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:18:48 +0000 lamariniere 1692227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is an excellent, safe and patient driver, which is great because I hate driving. I haven't driven in more than two years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-your-so-is-a-safe-driver#post-1692221 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:10:29 +0000 BSB 1692221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he can be safe but his impatience and his hatred for the drivers out here can make me worry. </p> <p>Does you SO think you are a safe driver?</p> <p>I think he has admitted that I'm a safe driver but the stereotypes for Asian and woman drivers can make people think otherwise. Plus, I'm from the east coast so I do have aggressive tendencies. </p> <p>We are both from the east coast so we both get annoyed with the drivers out here. I can tolerate and work around/with the drivers out here. </p>
