You sound autistic.
Are you serious?
Either way

i drive in a "counter" style. if a guy turns in front of me, i turn to the left or right, and i don't think twice about it. basically i say relflexes cause i don't ever hesitate. i react to the cars around me. we all do. if you don't then you will crash. i can say i have gotten out of alot of sticky situations cause of my reaction time to stuff.

well the correct way of doing that is making sure you have a way out by thinking ahead. if you just swerve left or right and there is a car, thats not the best idea.

i have a 20 mile commute to work and spacing out on the way there is difficult considering i have to drive during rush hour. However, when i get off work, hang with my gf then come home around 2 it is either a fun, fast drive, or a relaxing, 70 mph, 34 mpg drive.

Yeah sometimes I can actually space out and before I know it I am using my mind to pull the clutch off the flywheel and actually shift gears with what I like to call the "counter force" so that I can use my right hand to scatch my *****.

I'm used to driving +20 mi distances so I'm constantly checking my mirrors. Although going to work this evening felt sort of numb. Watching what other people are doing and anticipate what other people are going to do because you never know, so basically I critique everyone else on the road, and yelling in my car at people that dont' have brake lights or are slowing like 5 cars up by going 5 mph under the speed limit etc. lol I've been in two major accidents so I try to do what I can to avoid potentially dangerous situations.
