Passenger, a.k.a. Copilot.  My job is to provide the entertainment from my downloaded files, pay attention to the signs, Google the maps and hand out refreshments.

Mr. Happy is a TERRIBLE copilot.  He can't figure out the technology.  He farts.  He stares out the side window.  Eventually, he falls asleep.

Im still upset with how the modern GPS'es still seem to suck at getting you somewhere when you're lost. I always think "the next gps will work" but they all seem this way.

I like to drive, but I don't mind being the passenger depending on who the driver is.

Life's too short to drive a boring vehicle.

That's great! XD my grandmother once did something similar a few years back. I don't remember where I had to drive her, but on the way back, she wanted to stop at a thrift store. At that time, I was driving her maroon car and apparently there was another maroon car in the parking lot. When she came out, she walked to the wrong car, opened the back door, and went to put her stuff in. There were people in the car that she went to! Luckily they were in good humor about it after their shock had worn off.

You will be breaking into trucks left and right at her age! ;) Just blame it on the age and "Oh dear, I'm sorry. My memory doesn't work as well as it used to when I was a young whippersnapper!"

I'm a driver. I don't mind being a passenger if one of my brothers is driving, but I don't trust a lot of other people to drive. My husband  really makes me nervous. He is actually one of those types of drivers that I find myself swearing at when I drive.

I saw someone with a DVD player propped up on their steering wheel while driving down a high way. Some people are just scary behind the wheel. For example my mother-in-law will tell you she was an excellent driver. She would always get on the highway and immediately go to the passing lane and stay there even though people would have to go around her to the right. She also suffers from macular degeneration. That means she has lost the ability to see the center of her field vision. If you asked her to read an eye chart she couldn't see the big E on the top line, but she can see the wall around the eye chart. And she thought it was ok to drive like that. She finally quit driving when she knew she couldn't pass the eye test to renew her license.

hahaha jesus people are nuts. Some of us get completely ridiculous amounts of anxiety and the other half skates on the thinnest ice they can find without a worry in the world. My mother said she was barely able to on the eye test so she just said letters really quick and the observer couldn't keep up. But Im guessing now days its not that easy. Shes a good driver, so fitting the standards doesn't worry me there.

Its funny but those people if and when they do actually get into an accident its going to affect them regardless of money, do you really want to risk being in that position? hurt one person and you will deal with that your entire life.

I think the only reason so much effort is done in controlling drivers is because driving is very important to lots of people. Gotta hand it to the government, if they didnt do all of the things they do driving would have a terrible reputation! and no government is about to risk losing it.

You ever experience an accident?

One thing I cannot stand is people who drink and drive. If you're my friend and you did that, i dont care how much you drank or your excuse DONT tell me. It always gets brought up in conversations at family events 3 of them drive intoxicated sometimes and I think they are douches everytime I hear about it...

Driver!

But mostly at night it depends on the condition of traffic. People who have not and dont drive late at night have no idea how much better it actually is. There so many reasons why the day is worse for driving.

What about you ROY?
