Personally, I find it endlessly frustrating and even terrifying to be in the passenger seat with a driver who jumps in the car and immediately goes.. Then worries about Seatbelts/Radio/AC/Mirrors/Plugging in Phone/etc etc while driving.

Basically all of the things I see other drivers doing when I'm not in their car.

  • Distracted driving (e.g. phone)
  • Resigning right-of-way in situations that are unsafe, like on highway entrance ramps and inside traffic circles
  • Doing unpredictable things (e.g. quickly weaving through traffic, merging/turning without signaling)
  • Zero clue about safe stopping distance for their vehicle, weight, and speed
  • Cutting off freight, especially at highway speeds
  • Generally unaware of what others are doing around them, only to wind up upset with others, then driving angry/aggressive
  • Driving fast enough to overwhelm the car's suspension and traction (wheels leave ground, springs bottom out)

The last one is particularly nauseating and terrifying if you're in the car.
