Hey now.. I'm a nice driver! don't get too crazy! It'd be just your luck that the first time you used it you'd ride past some poor old guy with a pacemaker.

for sure. I think a lot of people would feel a lot different if they spent a few days or a week riding around downtown.

I always look for the heads in the car. Cabs stopped with passengers *shutter* I HATE those wheel ads, it messes with my watching the wheels for movement mojo.
Everybody forgets sometimes.. you just hope you don't forget at a time that matters. *shudder* One of my friends is from Austria, and she said that when you're getting your driver's license there if you don't open your door with your right hand (as a driver) it's an AUTOMATIC FAIL. It's because opening with your right hand forces you to twist so you can shoulder check before opening. Pretty cool.
