This site has been built by a driver for drivers. I love driving. I love this feeling of speed and control that my car gives me. I love the feeling of my car as an extension of myself. I love solving road puzzles on the fly. I love cruising and wondering around, when I'm in the mood. I love exploring traffic patterns, experimenting with them, and exploiting them to my advantage. I love pushing my car and myself to the limit, and sometimes even over the limit. I just enjoy my being on the road, it is a source of fun for me. I've been operating cars, bikes, and trucks for many years. And I believe I know how to make it safe. My driving record supports my belief. This is what they usually call defensive driving, and I learned this not in school, but on the road.
I built this site to share my defensive driving experience with you, so you can benefit from it, too. And I would love to hear about your defensive driving experience, which could complement mine and bring to us some synergy to enjoy. I hope we get more defensive (i.e. safe and thinking) drivers on our roads and highways this way, making our lives more fun and more safe.
Just to make a point, I don't think defensive driving is the right term for the task. It sounds like a military term: defense, offense, tactical, offensive... Does it ring any bell? Our number one enemy on the road is our own ego, which is inside us, yet "defensive" implies we defend ourselves from an external enemy... I personally would prefer to talk about safe driving, yet I don't have much choice. Most people search for texas defensive driving, and if I want them to find my site - I have to comply...

Do you dance?
Sometimes I do some dancing with my car. Not in but with. I watched people dancing in their cars at stoplights, listening to music. Sure, one can only see upper part of the body and hands moving, and car rocking, and one can tell that the person is dancing. It is pretty impressive, but this is not what Im talking about here.
If Im in the mood (and this can just come suddenly), I would check if anybody around can be scared, and if not, I would start steering my car to the left and right slightly, in the rhythm of whatever music I have playing either in my CD palyer or in my head. Passengers usually do not like this, so this is a fun for a lonely driver. Of course, you dont want to overdo your steering and took off the road, so keep yourself remembering you are at the wheel
