I feel I am generally an above average driver, though my inexperience has caused some problems.

Above average, however I have a lot to learn and a lot to experience.

I'm a great driver when I need to be... but I can get to anywhere faster than anyone I know when I need to also.

I am guessing that everyone is going to say they are very good/excellent drivers ...

i think "good" is too subjetive. For example, i'm a skilled driver, but not necessarily always a "good" driver, in the sense where "good" == "safe".

I'm an above average driver I think. I screwed around a lot in high school with a RWD sportscar (doing things I probably shouldn't have :eek:) so I have a fair amount of experience in losing control of the car and how to handle it properly.

An outstanding driver doesn't honk at firefighters and flick them off, jackwipe.

I find it extremely hard to drive slower than others. I shoot for holes when I can. I think I'm pretty good at anticipation at high speeds. You have to be if you're aggressive. I'm pretty untested with evasive maneuvers though...

I'd take an SUV-handling test if there was one... ya SUV-hatin' nazis.

<-- gotta survive on the NY roads.

I'd say that I'm average. I don't make any stupid mistakes or anything, but tend to drive too aggressively. I blame the car, I guess. :)

I'm an outstanding driver as long as I'm not in a bad mood. Then, I just become average. ;)

Never been pulled over, no tickets, nothing. I've only been driving for 5 years and am 19 now, but I think thats pretty good. I dont know of any of my friends who can say the same. I just wish the farking insurance company would lower my )$#@(% rates!

Edit: I said above average, b/c outstanding would be 10 years w/o being pulled over or any tickets.
