I am. I am pretty aggressive, too. Not in a bad way, but I just make sure that people let me merge when they are driving like jerks. 
I am not afraid of driving in pouring rain/ice/hail. The only thing that bothers me is if I am really close to a wall or barricade with no shoulder. Then I will try and drive in the middle lane.

For the most part yep! I can drive in any weather, but LOATHE driving in fog & I don't really like long night drives when I don't know where I'm going, otherwise I'm confident & am kind to others on the road (no blind spot driving or tailgating), but am generally relatively aggressive,.

Yes. Particularly in city traffic where you need to be sort of aggressive in a slow way. The only thing I don't really like is trying to merge very quickly at high speeds. When I know a lot of that will be involved I make my husband drive because he is much better at that (whereas he hates driving in city traffic).

Yes. I'm on the west coast (notorious for aggressive/stupid drivers). I'm kind of a bitch when I drive (if you don't use your signal, I won't let you merge, etc.) ... I am confident in snow/rain, and I am good at parallel parking since we had to do it for 18 months at our last place.
I will say, now that I'm pregnant, I'm a bit more nervous (that someone will run a stop sign).

Yup. And I like to mess with the jerks on the highway. There are some really annoying drivers out there.

Yup...traffic, merging/getting over several lanes quickly at high speeds, tunnels, rain, snow, etc, nome of it really bothers me. While DH is also a great driver, usually I tend to drive & he navigates.

Nope. I hate driving. I really dislike driving in snow! (which sucks because I'm in WI!!) but I think driving in rain is 1000X worse than snow! hydroplaning is the scariest!

Yes I've driven in the snow in New York and on the crazy Houston freeways! I feel quite confident.

I love the independence that driving provides, but no, I am not uber confident. Driving in heavy traffic or rain makes me a little nervous, as does driving with my children in the car {because of other drivers}.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: LOL. Were you horrified by my driving the other night?? I'm usually not THAT bad!
I'm an anxious driver at night and I'm usually fine during the day! I am more confident in my driving than DH's, for sure. I don't drive in snow though, I trust DH with driving in bad weather conditions. He is too aggressive in normal driving conditions for my comfort.

@HLK208: LOL IT WAS NOT THAT BAD! Our conversation about driving sparked me to make this thread though!

Yes until we travelled and I had to drive on the other side of the car and road!

yep! i'm a great driver. my driver instructor asked me who taught me to drive (my mama) and asked if my mom would be interested in teaching driving, lol. DH on the other hand is a terrible driver.

Yes, I would say so. Ive now driven regularly in 2 countries that drive on opposite sides of the road, in blinding rain, snow and ice, and thick fog. Im also a fairly aggressive driver.

Yes, and somewhat aggressive. I hate driving in pouring rain and refuse to in snow though- mostly because DH is an excellent driver and I'd rather have him drive in bad weather.

Yeah, I'm fairly confident in normal driving conditions (and can be aggressive). But I've never driven in snow so that would make me nervous and lots of rain makes me nervous. When I have to drive for work out in the field and its been raining, I get pretty nervous I'm going to get stuck in the mud. So I guess when the weather is nice, I'm a confident driver!

As an asian driver who has to deal with people stereotyping me as a bad driver, I consider myself a very good driver. My caucasian husband will even tell others that I'm a good defensive driver and knows when to be aggressive safely. I was born and raised on the east coast. But if I make a mistake, I hate that people automatically judge me.
I'm confident in driving in all types of conditions. If I lived on the east coast, a few inches of snow is fine by me. Now that I live in Seattle and a little snow can turn into crazy drivers and horrible dangerous road conditions, I would rather stay home then deal with it.
Otherwise, I will fully admit that I'm a good asian driver. My sister, on the otherhand, will admit that she is a bad asian driver.
