I need an urgent answer to this question:
"What makes a good driver?" Is it number of accidents, whether or not you've killed someone yet, overall comfort of the passenger, (and there are different types of drivers) lack of aggression, following the rules of the road to a T, driving defensively, what?
Because I drive defensively, (I like mah cushion of space) but I'm a "drifter" meaning I like to maximize my comfort and stuff, meaning I will not maintain an "exact half a foot" on each side of the line for example, I just like, evaluate a curve's banking and whatnot and take the curve of least resistance to get around it because it's efficient and it minimizes G forces. I have only ever been in low speed accidents. I'm sure I offend some on the road but LIKE holy goodness, um, it's impossible to not do that and I will SLOW as someone passes me because I'm like "I want you off my rear bender as MUCH as YOU do, frankly" in fact I will sometimes pull OVER.
But the husband (I am serious) complained about my driving CONSTANTLY the whole time yesterday for like 6 hours and not only did I not casually stab him in the voice box, I OFFERED to let him take over SEVERAL times.
I have long since learned the "zen" of the passenger, and by that I mean there is NO POINT (unless it's reaching head on collisions point) saying anything because I have to accept regardless of anything else, complaining is not going to make them a better driving, it's just gonna piss them off. I EVEN let my mom drive me around in MY car last time she was here (and it hurt, on many levels) whilst remaining serene the WHOLE time.
I think judging driving should be based on "have you killed anyone yet and it was your fault." PERIOD. I am also never driving the husband anywhere again (including the hospital and I am DEAD serious about that) and also, "What makes a good driver?" I need that question answered in case I ever HAVE to take him to the hospital gonna duct tape his mouth, though.
He got especially rude when he was cowering down against the front dash going "Don't kill me, don't kill, etc."
Control freaks, man.

If you gotta ask what makes a good driver...well, my wife thinks I am a bad driver, because I drive defensively, I don't tailgate, I stop at least 3/4 of a car length from the car in front of me at lights, to leave maneuvering room...she tailgates, speeds, jams on the brakes a lot, drives right over potholes, and constantly creeps up on the driver in front of her at lights. If you gotta ask...maybe your a bad driver 
LOL I DO all that stuff. I am OCCASIONALLY inattentive at low speeds but IDK. My mom actually accused me of "improved" driving while I was here, LOL, (I still let her drive though cuz I could TELL she wanted to, etc.)
However, day after getting my driver's license was my FIRST accident though. I ah, backed out of the driveway (following my dad someplace) into the glass truck parked across the street (and it was not a one way street, either LOL) and it DID suck because my dad drove off all "happy" like he put me through this cross-fit approach to driving and maintain a car, it took like MONTHS, and I knew I couldn't LEAVE because the glass truck owner came around the side all "OH MY GOD!!" and eventually my dad returned as I was apologizing profusely to the glass truck guy (something covered in his driving crossfit program ""NEVER ADMIT FAULT!!! (Bench press two tires five hundred times, "NEVER ADMIT GUILT!!!!" remove all lugnuts in under five minutes, etc.) and he had this deep look of, "Oh my God what have my GENES produced."
But man, I didn't enjoy it EITHER and they made me pay for ALL of it (the parents.)
Meanwhile, my older brother has had oh, maybe 1 accident in his whole life but he was chief chauffer/babysitter etc. so he'd like, drive me and my sister places DELIBERATELY throwing us from side to side and like, playing that really angry Gun-z-roses album and NIN.
That also definitely sucked he was CONVINCING.
So, I'm gonna go with the "I haven't killed anyone yet that I KNOW of" because, you know, driving and blackouts and the 80s, I mean it's hard to talk your drunken self out of driving in a blackout and MADD wasn't oh so like, INTENSE yet, or maybe it was, IDK, don't care. But, even though I 'got around" in college, AIDS registered much more because I TOTALLY know 100% I carried condoms and used them like BIG TIME like ALL THE TIME. Etc. LOL.
Still, ideally, I hope I never killed anyone although I also tend to find it hard to "accept MAH responsibility," for things I don't recall especially if my informants, I mean friends weren't around and stuff, but I like HEAR you are supposed to and it is a 100% CERTAIN truth that no one ever forced liquor down my throat, I was a WILLING and enthusiastic volunteer THE WHOLE TIME.
I also hope purgatory doesn't consist of reliving all my blackouts and taking responsibility for everything, either.
So, I'mma gonna go with good driver then.

Not judging, you unnerstand, but my own little opinion is that you may have set the bar a little on the low side.
Hey self driving cars have killed people I think.
I'm just SAYING. LOL.
Although, perhaps I am secretly terrifying to everyone AROUND me, I'm just not easily frightened by myself.
Hmm... I hope that's not an inadvertent slogan for like, "my whole life."
I could put it on a business card even, "Secretly terrifying to the whole world, but I'M not easily frightened so don't you worry."

I am so much less troubled by the fat man explanation than the fact that it looks like the stroller is Pac Man and about to EAT the baby and not only that, he has an air of smugness... And roller skates. LOL.
If I had encountered that ah "signage" when I was pregnant, back when I was preggo there were these weird and nebulous sineage that invited, "Storks park here," was pretty much it.
Also, one time, after using the stork spot I was waddling toward "Buy Buy Baby" (that store name is also deeply wrong) with my mom in search of a nursing donut/hemherroid pillow I believe it was (yes, they actually create DUAL USE ITEMS LIKE THAT and you are actually GRATEFUL instead of being like thoughtful about it and be like, "Okay, I can either nurse standing up OR sit and my arms get tired and you really need two but they don't tell you that at the time at ALL) and like, I was wearing this flowery pregnancy dress and I was at the stage of my pregnancy where you had to literally TILT backward and waddle like a freaking, something who can only waddle and for a moment I was like "OMG that poor pregnant woman, she looks MISERABLE oh my GOD like I hope I never look like--" and yeah it was plate glass windows. And me.
But, if I had ever seen such a parking spot I would have probably sharply and suddenly given birth RIGHT on it because I'd be like "Pac man has SKATES and I can only waddle."
Life gets a lot worse once you go THROUGH the birth process too, you like wish you were back, staring at the stranger in the glass going "That poor thing," I mean I would have given almost ANYTHING to go back to that awful moment and like lived the rest of my life that way.
Women lie about labor, they DO. They do it out of pity, kindness, and some sort of weird "welcome to the club" lie and they tell you to Shut Up about it and I am like "NO."

Really! I saw a whole thread about straws on another forum. All but two posters were totally serious.
I see a pair of scissors under the carriage, like, suggesting...you know you don't have to go through this...right!?!
Well I doubt it's the queue for the C section area in the hospital, but then again, anything is possible.
Also I am quite sure that if there is anything worse than birth, it's birth via C-section. I hear that really is the suck and etc.

If its anything like having a kidney removed, then yeah, big time sucked...took six weeks to heal from that one.
