fwiw I drive "like a grandma" most of the time. I had a neighbor try to pass me on our street as I was going less than the speed limit (25).
I stay out of the fast lane when the freeways are open. I'm only willing to go 70-75 (speed limit is 65) when lots of drivers are doing 75-80 and some are at 80+. These speeds make for some horrific crashes.
My mom’s mom never drove. Gramps did.
My mom crashed during her first license test on a closed course. My dad had a partially paralyzed right hand from being turned around during a breach birth and never drove. My sister has never had a license. My family didn’t own a car between ‘83 and ‘95.
I’m a cautious and excellent driver.
