Does anyone ever admit to being a crap driver?
#1
Reading the thread on women being crap drivers (sic), I wondered if there was ever likely to be a woman who would agree?
i.e. Does anyone on here (either sex)condsider themself to be a crap driver?
Everybody always believes they're an outstanding driver (and I guess we'll have a higher proportion of 'excellent' drivers in the forum than elsewhere) whereas people around them often disagree.
I am a natural and very talented driver , even though my other half disagrees as she's always convinced there's a horse around every corner and is herself a cautious and often hesitant driver.
Haha - bring it on - anyone prepared to 'fess up?

I'd say I'm a pretty crap driver, my car control is not bad and I try to be polite, I'm also always learning. However I have a tendecy to be rash and also get angry with other road users (although I try not to let it affect my driving). All in all I have to admit, my driving is not what it could be.
Still I'm always trying to improve.

ive had moments where i have driven badly, there was this one occasion where i ended up with my car (fiesta) in the middle of a roundabout on the A10 near buntingford. Teach me for driving like a ****.
Personally I think we learn to be better drivers from our mistakes.

I like you consider myself a competant driver, assessed by professionals as having excelent control and feel for the balance of a car at speed. But I do admit, some days I drive awfully badly, others I shine. It's just a case of how many bad days there are compared to the good.

I'm crap at parking and reversing in a straight line!!!
there's loads of crap women drivers out there who are totally incapable of using their indicators and watching where they're going (probably cos they're on the phone and doing their make-up at the same time !)

Hit a pavement yesterday while not paying attention(looking at another car). Nice gouge in the side of the tyre and chipped alloy.
Me a crap driver - never

Been told I drive like a bloke...... Don't know if that was a compliment or insult!! I'm quite an agressive driver and women drivers infuriate me!! I hate to see female drivers crunched up against the steering wheel. How the **** do they manage to get round corners?! Anyway, I admit that I make mistakes and if someone pips at me I acknowledge them, not get abusive like a lot of people have done to me!

I'm pretty average at driving, both on roads and on the golf course!
Can only reverse park 1 in 2 times without curbing or realising I haven't any chance at the current angle. I don't use my mirrors enough (not that the rear one is of any use with the spoiler in the way), and I am prone to rash decisions. I also drive too close to people on fast roads, which is very foolhardy. I speed too... allegedly.
Hmm given all that, maybe I am a crap driver! I reckon there are a number of levels of being crap though. Some people are totally clueless!
