After 2 years of driving, I think my driving skill are getting worse. I used to tailgate people on the highway everytime but now I always keep a safe distance. I drove as fast as the car engine could possibly go but now I'm quite afraid to go above 140 if theres many cars (on highways). And my braking skill is also getting worse. When city driving I keep my distance about 4 cars infront, and always do unnecessary braking.

Anyone can teach me again how to tailgate and drive fast. And also proper braking.

I know that tailgate other people and drive very fast is dangerous, you dont have to tell me that. I'm not the kind of person who drive kamikaze one. I think about others too. Just need opinion and help from you guys.
 
from wat i think..u keep a safe distance when driving its becoz ur more mature about it now...it happened to me too...hehehe i used to tailgate ppl alot..now i keep a safe distance..hehehe only this i can help..sorry...

yeah!~i agree wif u boosook.me too used to tailgate ppl evrytime drivin but now bored already.at least certain situation like ppl rude on the road or sumthing like they wanna show their 'most powerfool car n very loud exhaust they have...huhuhu.. :rolleyes:
 
OK, maybe i'm getting matured :p. Ehehe, but why am I extra safe on braking. Sometimes the car infront dont brake I suddenly brake.

I think other reason that I dont drive fast now is cos many speedtraps. Maybe just my mindset.

There is nothing wrong with your driving seriously. I use drive like that a few years ago. Nowadays if people keep hinting they want to race with me especially on the highway I just let them go because I do not want to take any stupid risks even though I'm driving a turbo-charged car. Some of my friends tell me this "Last time NA car you drive like hell even around housing area and now turbo car you drive slow. Whats wrong with you?". I answered whats the fucking point of risking your investment and making your loved ones worry about you. Like what Dino@Casper and boosook said you are not a lousy driver. In my opinion you are a matured and responsible driver.
 
So the tailgaters on the roads we encounter everyday are newbies?

Relax...it's your brain cells...they are slowly multiplying. Congratulations. :albertein

PS: Is this somekind of attention grabbing gig?
 
facelift, now u got everybody's "attention" - u r a safe driver...

i think most of the forummers here a safe drivers.... and all of us have experience driving like mad cow on the road.... for me, after a few track sessions, it totally changed my driving style on the road, public road is not safe for fast driving.... u wanna prove u r a good driver, go to the track, then u see where you skill level stands....

play safe and have fun, thats what i think.... i guess it good to bring ppl's attention to courteous and safe driving.....:biggrin:
 
now, mature I classified to new category. if u drive wit your lovely wife or your lovely doughter, u think, where to go when u drive fast or tailgate anybody since in ur car have ur lovely person? tat y i think u feel like tat. me also when drive wit my family, my keep always the safe distance. tis mature in wat... sayang famili..

also agree wit ambayah. newbie (when i see, young blood driver wit gempak car) always tailgate me since drive at hiway, want to racing wit me. i let him go je... go to hell wit ur fast car eventhough base on car category, i can tapau him senang-senang je...

by the way, 'ingatlah orang tersayang'

yea.... that was how i discover where my lackings are after going to the bt3 and sic sunday track days....

thats why now when i see fast going zig-zag cars on the road, it doesnt interest and amuse me anymore - used to get very excited when younger cos got "kaki" to test power ...hehehee... now only test power in the track...

bends on public road where u fly past at 140kmh and u think u are terror, u will find that damn, u actually can do it at 160kmh if it is in the track.... so there is more to discover if u really wanna improve your driving skill...

* faclift --- i dunno whats up with the "attention" also, got the same respond the last time i post something in another thread, thats y i scratching my head why ppl think we are trying to get attention.....??? :confused:
