Your driving...

Roundabouts i think, my parking has improved vastly although my parallel park could probably use a little bit of fine tuning. I'm not an awful driver but i've only been on the road since last August so still have a lot to learn.
 
My confidence needs improving. Ever since an incident last year I've not fully got the confidence to push a car round some bends. Really annoying as i know the scooby is so capable, and I just haven't got the balls to utilise it :(

And my parking sucks, because I never do it. Last time i reverse parked was in an instructors car. I always go for the simple option of driving straight into a space in car parks.
 
Going into parking spaces forwards.

Backwards no problem, easy as. Go in front first, always misjudge things :)

I do get annoyed with people easily too but I'm not that bad..

I suffer from this aswell to be honest.
 
Passing parked cars on my left hand side, according to my bro I leave a much too big a gap. Not a massive issue though? i'd just rather not hit anyone!
 
Hmm, a few things my clutch skills are fairly poor, im pretty rubbish at setting off sometimes and stay on the clutch way to long sometimes, also reversing my clutch work can suck sometimes, nothing else at the moment is bothering me, although i do get fairly impatient and my pet hate is someone pulling out at a junction then setting off slow as possible and then going 20mph from then on thus slowing me right down really grinds my gears.
 
Parallel parking, as I didn’t have to do it before I moved.
Impatience with slower drivers on single carriageways.

I decided to have a go. You're right, it's impossible unless you're wearing stilletos - the accelerator is much further back than the brake! I suppose you could just about manage a bit of a throttle blip if under full braking, but that won't help to smooth out a drive :p
 
Paralell parking for me as i rarely have to do it and i'm constantly thinking "mind the alloys" "mind the alloys", so end up miles away from the curb.

Impatience/ road rage i suffer quite bad from also, i get so wound up with peoples inability to do the speed limit. I know it's not a target but a limit but when there's a trail of traffic for miles all because of one persons incompetence to do the limit it really grates me.
 
Hmm, maybe trying to avoid situations where I can be stationary and people can hit me? :p

Honestly? I'd say parking by a kerb, I'm always too scared I'll kerb my wheels. :( So I take my time to get close.

When they show the fancy live telemetry of two drivers racing for the lead, why is it only Michael Schumacher ever seemed to do the throttle blipping on downshift/braking thing?

Ive always thought that mondern F1 cars did the throttle blips automatically to match revs with the ratio&speed of the car for the desired gear - they dont have a manual clutch as such.

Maybe it's a left-over habit from when he started driving (before all the fancy gearboxes in the early 1990s?)
 
Mine would probably be using the handbrake.

Seen as my Cavalier's handbrake basically gets stuck each and every time I use it I have stopped using it completely in all cars I get in and just leave it in gear.

Not a good habit really.
 
As an ADI my driving is obviously perfect and faultess all the time...... ;)

But really its the little things that annoy me now. I get peeved if I make silly mistakes and I do as I'm not a perfect driver unfortunatly.

I really should stop calling less capable drivers 'Muppets'

I find driving is a continuos learning experiance and I also learn stuff from pupils who can be a surprising source of information / alternate views on aspects of driving!
