[SJ] Are we the best at driving vehicles?

[Giggly]

Do you mean ESTP?

Coming soon to a theatre near you.
I'm excited!

My dad is very good at parking. He has a crappy assigned parking spot at their condo it looks IMPOSSIBLE to squeeze into and some neighbor's bastard children are always leaving bikes and toys strewn around. I think any type that can be confident/self assured about their abilities and has attention to detail can be a very good driver. I space out a lot, I'm an average to slightly above average driver because of lots and lots of experience. You know who's a bad driver? The artist Moby. He said he used to get into car accidents all the time. Luckily he's now rich and can afford a driver.

BTW my dad is INTJ.

ESFJ mom is a really good driver. competent with pretty much any car, drives a few miles over but not enough to get pulled, obeys all the traffic laws, etc. learned to drive in NYC so everywhere else is easy.

on the other hand, ISTJ friend once drove up onto the sidewalk for several blocks while screaming because her windows were a little foggy and she was convinced she couldn't see (clearly she could, because she stayed perfectly on the sidewalk)

 

[mmhmm]

i'm a fantastic driver.

Eh, the SJs that I know seem to have the highest anxiety on the road. When my mother (I/ESTJ) is driving, it's almost like she's in a battle with the car itself. Too high strung.

That's definitely me. I assume that the other cars on the road aim to kill me.

I am the best, MOFOs!

 

[ceecee]

But I am female, which makes me a horrible driver by default. *goes back to the kitchen where I belong*

Jokes! JOKES!

Well, I did take a better look at those pics.....

lols at all the talk of "he can park anything" and "squeezing into tight spaces"

I've noticed that people who follow the rules to a T tend to be the worst drivers. Maybe it's an effect - they know they suck, so they rely on legal guidance. But it can also be a cause. People get too tense and don't use their common sense.

I'm an awesome driver. I can speed 20mph over, weaving in and out of lanes cutting off car after car, even while the highway's turning, without causing even a hiccup. I can park just about anywhere and I absolutely love driving on one-car narrow, windy mountain cliffs. While over the BAC limit. Way over. (I don't do that anymore though, so MADD mothers get off my tail.)

Also learned the stick shift in 45 minutes. Down pat. Driving all over a hilly traffic-congested city with the weirdest roads.

Thank you Se!

EDIT: I did, however, automatically fail my first driving test because I accidentally ran a stop sign. (Well, it's habit for me to not stop if I can see there's nothing coming, but I temporarily forgot that I had to be on my very best gold-star behavior for the DMV test.)

I'm a pretty damn good driver, not gonna lie *wipes knuckles on collar*... I've been driving since 15 years old and I drive very regularly. I have one citation for a seat belt when I was 18... Otherwise, I had one little ding (also at 18) when I started rolling at a stop light and tapped someone in front of me. I was distracted and thought traffic was starting to move .

I love driving.

My dad (ISFJ) is an amazing driver, while no one (including she herself) would trust my mom (ESFJ) behind a wheel.

So it looks to me like it really just depends on the individual SJ.

 

[NegativeZero]

I say no. The majority of the population are SJs and fucking tons of people are terrible at driving. Would lead me to conclude that personality type has little to do with how good one is at driving.

I'm not ISTJ but I am a good driver and I only run red lights when I need to or when the roads are completely dead. My ISTJ father is also a good driver but the difference is he always drives at the same boring pace even when the road is completely free of traffic, he hardly breaks the rules or traffic laws. When the highway is free at night I like to rev it up to 140 Km/ph.

I might go faster when there's no one else around but 140??? :horor:

That only amounts to 90 miles per hour. My wife and I maxed out our old Jetta 2.5 at 130 mph.

that's crazy i usually keep it 140-150 km/pr I don't wanna kill myself, i've already been in an accident when someone was going 200 km/ph.

I've rear ended 3 people in all my years driving and surprisingly no one has ever charged me for my damage I'm very lucky for this. I seem to be notorious for rear ending people.

I really wish I was an F-1 driver though I love indie go karts.
