  • So the closest possible thing I can think of that could be interpreted as “irratic driving makes you a better driver” is possibly attempting high pressure maneuvers before you need to.

    My dad yanked the wheel on a back road so I could practice gaining control on ice.

    But that should be done in a controlled environment not constantly. You’re not only literally creating hazards for yourself to practice on, you’re forcing everyone around you to practice as well, but they think this is just a regular drive, not a skill course.

    The safest thing you can do behind the wheel is to BE PREDICTABLE. As long as you do what everybody around you thinks you’re going to do, everyone can stay a safe distance away from each other.

    You’ve gotten your practice in. Now drive like an adult.















  • I’ve never heard that term before, even though it’s pretty much how I’ve survived as long as I have. I always just called it Chameleon, and I think I must be pretty good at it, because I can see how bad other people are at it.

    I worked in sales for 10 years or so, and honestly, I was a shit salesman. (I had a job to do, but I NEVER wanted to pull any shady shit) But, I was good at mimicking the people who were in front of me. I became a bro when the frat boys walked in, I was a polite young man when the church crowd showed up. I grew customers by being whoever they wanted me to be, and just being helpful.
