Best driver ?

[Lump]

I was a late starter with my license. Now 26 and I've been driving 6 years. Owned 4 cars, all have been sporty hatchbacks. I've not owned a car under 2.0L. No speeding tickets or crashes, not that I've had really close calls.
First 2 years of my license I did 100k miles in a work van. Still amazed I escaped with zero tickets or accidents. I now only do about 15k miles P/A.

I drive like a nutter when I am on my own, I take every gap I can, I speed whenever I can and overtake whenever I can. I have never had an accident or speeding fine or points. I consider myself to be very safe, very in control and very aware of the road conditions and other obstructions around me. I expect never to have an accident or speeding fine. It is about being a confident driver. Because you see the road is wet or icy does not mean its time to start using the brake a lot, the opposite is the case. We need more confidence on the roads, the dangerous drivers are the scared ones.

For the record I am aware that some of my attitude is stupid, reckless and childish but it is how I feel, I am a racer but not an idiot. If anyone else is in the car with me I drive carefully. I am the best driver I know.

Car not golf !

Just been looking at my car insurance renewal and I realise I have been driving since 1977, 35 years in total, and have never had an accident or claim on my car insurance. Not a great return on my car insurance premiums but not a bad record.

Anyone out there come close, or even beat me ?

I know plenty of old people who have never had any accidents. Mind you they cause about 2 a week..... Oh no, the road bends by 10 degrees, therefore the council have put up 3 black and white chevron signs to tell people to slow down, so I best slow down to 10mph to get round this slight bend in the road

Who are you calling old.:angry: My Morris Minor doesn't do much more than 10 mph down hill, let alone around a corner.

You might not have had an accident, (yet), but if you look in your mirror I bet it is carnage behind you.

Because of vehicle adaptation business I run I've driven everything from lada's for ferrari's. passed 13 years ago, personally owned 3 cars and the current the slowest as ford cmax 1.6 family taxi. I do give each car I try the beans but its knowing when and where to play.

The most fun I've had was a 12 month old Nissan GTR (subtle body kit, specialist tuned and just ran in) when a BMW M3 wanted to play.A set of lights, two lanes leading to single lane with 200 yards then down a country lane and the guy pulled along side, wound his window down, looked over and revved the nuts off his M3. I discreetly engaged launch control and when the lights changed lost him in the rear view mirror. I know the owner and he is a regular punter, so knew i was ok to play and he was as proud as punch when i told him just how good his car was. I hate BMW and Merc drivers

Passed my test first time in September 1979. I've only had one accident in 1981 when I rear ended a car full of girls in Glasgow city centre.
An interesting, but ultimately fruitless and expensive, way of getting a lassies phone number.
