    When you’ve been driving for awhile you learn to anticipate and recognise dangerous driving by driving defensively.

    Just yesterday morning I noticed about 3 tailgaters and one rode up my ass.

    I’ll never understand the mentality of them as it’s so dangerous to do that. One of them even went so far as to tailgate a massive truck, you can’t even see past it.

    There’s a lot of reckless drivers around for sure.

      Yeah, I’m already somewhat okay at it as a passenger. Obviously my attention is usually split since I can go rant on Lemmy while the other person is driving, but while I’m paying attention I can usually tell who’s going to be trouble. I used to watch the dashcam crash comps, probably bad for anxiety and mental health, but I think that was useful to watch for me. Actually SEEING what can go wrong makes it retain better in my memory, and become a more subconscious thing, where as verbal instructions and learners tests/reading materials need to stay in conscious memory for a lot longer before being utilised subconsciously. At least for me. If that makes any sense
