Attitudes toward what's important in driving and safety

[Creepy-male]

yea I don't like aggresive driving either; its hard to define that out though - it always intrigues me how people drive very competitively without even noticing it. Alot of times you'll speed up to change lanes or maneuver somewhere and the driver next to you will begin to speed up alongside as if you are challenging them when all you care about is just getting to point B from A.

Also what was your point with the whole "TRC §545.151. VEHICLE APPROACHING OR ENTERING INTERSECTION. " -- thats not for a yield sign thats for a vechile approaching or entering an intersection and that really doesn't apply in every situation alot of time if u've driven on a highway with feeder roads that just have stop signs - I've NEVER seen anyone stop to clear the intersection because the people on the highway know they have the right of way to that feeder road. I think that peice of law is just going over to drivers how to safely clear an intersection - not how to properly deal with a yeild sign.

I have only been driving for a few months and I have already gotten in 5 or 6 near accidents. All of them have been close, but none have actually turned out where I wrecked my car. Most of them happened when I pulled out right in front of a car traveling on a large road. I am wondering if Ni dominant types are prone to being terrible drivers. Are you other Ni types terrible at driving?

Intuition can be problematic, due to not paying attention to the road.

I dunno, I'm a good driver. My ESE husband failed his first driver's test and had to take it over again. Plus I learned on a stick shift and I had to teach my husband how to drive one after we were married because we only owned one car: mine, and it was a stick. hahaha (I love that story)

You should just accelerate off the line quicker.

- People who don't drive the customary +5mph over—if the sign says 40mph zone, it means go 45mph (cops here aren't legally allowed to ticket you for anything ≤5mph over the posted limit).
- People who plod along as if they're the only ones on the road and fuck up the flow of traffic. I'm convinced that slow drivers like this are the cause of most accidents.
- People talking on their cell phones while "driving." If you can't sufficiently multitask for this, get off your phone.
- People who don't use their blinkers. Not keeping other drivers informed of your intentions is extremely rude and dangerous.

You're gonna have a ball when my dad's driving.

Looking back to my OP, while I think they each fit their specific IM element to a degree, I feel they are a bit narrow and specialized in that they're only describing one aspect of the driving experience through those specific IM elements. I think you could very easily describe other attitudes and have it work.

Like for instance, a subtle difference between what I described in and a statement being made about how people or obstacles prevent them from getting to their destination. I think an annoying thing for people of the point of view is more focused on the obstacles or people preventing them from getting to their destination in the efficiency they expect. The point of view is more about like, "Stupid people, get out of my way, I've got somewhere I need/want to be"

I think can be expanded not just in when to leave to go drive and when not to leave, but I think it can obviously be applied while driving as well -- understanding specific things that happen on the road that cause fluctuations in the trends of traffic and they way that person might react/respond to those things they observe.

...


Sec. 544.010. STOP SIGNS AND YIELD SIGNS. (a) Unless directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal, the operator of a vehicle or streetcar approaching an intersection with a stop sign shall stop as provided by Subsection (c).
(b) If safety requires, the operator of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall stop as provided by Subsection (c).
(c) An operator required to stop by this section shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. In the absence of a crosswalk, the operator shall stop at a clearly marked stop line. In the absence of a stop line, the operator shall stop at the place nearest the intersecting roadway where the operator has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway.

Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.

I think this varies from state to state. Just like left/right turns at red lights vary from state to state.

Yes - in my experience this is often true...

I dunno, I'm a good driver.

... but not always, of course.

I've also noticed that Ni types who consider themselves good drivers are [maddeningly] cccaaaarrrreeefffuuullll drivers, except when they forget to be

aren't you funny. hmph. the only time I'm not a good driver is when my best friend is in the car with me, distracting me. But that's not very often.

[Creepy-male]

Lol I've driven a long time in texas and I know you don't have to stop at yeild signs, plus that section is entitled stop and yeild signs so its still really ambiguous.

[munenori2]

I pay awesome attention when I drive.
