Aggressive Driving

[Ovedya]

I think the term "agressive driving" has come to mean the same thing as "road rage."

When I learned to drive it was called "defensive driving." Defensive driving is a good thing. Everybody should drive defensively.

Anger, rage, and agression are both biological and environmentally influenced. So, in answer to your question, yes, if you drive angry then your kids ae going to drive angry too.

Who said aggressive driving was a sin? And what in the world does it have to do with music?

The police say it's a sin At least when you break the law driving aggressively. i.e. speeding.

Agressive driving is a good thing and has kept me out of many wrecks. This has all occured while playing anything from heavy metal to classical music....music doesn't matter in the driving style. Also, yes, it is picked up from parents. All of my friends that are defensive have defensive driving parents. My dad was an agressive driver. In fact, for the short time I did defensive driving was the first, and only time, I was involved in a wreck. It was an insurance scam...figures.

Why do you consider agressive driving a good thing?

An agressive driver puts his driving needs first and everyone else's second. Road Rage can come from both defensive and agressive drivers.

Take for instance, my driving style. If I'm on a highway and there is an onramp comming up, and they have the yield sign but don't yield, i keep driving. Defensive driving teaches you to slow down and let them over anyway. Agressive driving says, "They should know better". I try to get over, but if I can't, and they keep comming, the only thing I'm thinking s, "here comes my free car". Likewise, if you allow people to rule you on the road then you're setting yourself up for insurance fraud. It allows you to get boxed in. An agressive driver will be agressive enough to make sure he doesn't get boxed in. Generally being agressive gives you quicker reflexes but also increases the chances of getting a ticket. However, being defensive decreases your chancese of getting a ticket bu tincreases your chances of ending up in a wreck.

Wow, what an un-gody approach to driving. Makes me wanna move to Amish Country.

That also defines a very selfish person.

Take for instance, my driving style. If I'm on a highway and there is an onramp comming up, and they have the yield sign but don't yield, i keep driving. Defensive driving teaches you to slow down and let them over anyway. Agressive driving says, "They should know better".

And the Bible teachers to love your neighbor as yourself. Does this attitude take into account that the person may not have seen the sign? or that something ( like kids in the backseat) has distracted them a moment or that the car may not be functioning properly...........no just assume, and teach them!

I try to get over, but if I can't, and they keep comming, the only thing I'm thinking s, "here comes my free car".

The bible teaches to turn the other cheek not to look for riches for yourself.

Likewise, if you allow people to rule you on the road then you're setting yourself up for insurance fraud. It allows you to get boxed in. An agressive driver will be agressive enough to make sure he doesn't get boxed in. Generally being agressive gives you quicker reflexes but also increases the chances of getting a ticket. However, being defensive decreases your chancese of getting a ticket bu tincreases your chances of ending up in a wreck.

Well that is a tongue twister. And all this expert advice from how many years of driving?

There are many 'unlawful' drivers out on the road but I don't look to defend myself, I just pray before leaving the driveway, every time, and I haven't had an accident or ticket in over 30 years, and one of my jobs involved driving into a big city every day and also 3 hours of driving to do my job so I have over a half million miles to my record.

Making people obey the traffic rules and leaving yourself an out is ungodly?
