I've been driving like a 70 year old even though I'm only in my 30's.
Slower than average and stops for many things other drivers won't. I anticipate conditions as much as possible so I slow down gently instead of unpredictably or abruptly. Is there a convincingly good reason for driving like this? I've been doing this for many years. But lately, I've been worried. Worried, I'd get hit from behind. I also imagine a random kid suddenly jumping out behind a parked car so I'm significantly slower than the allowed speed in more densely populated areas. I think sometimes this annoys other drivers and don't want that either.
The irony of this situation is that I've done illegal street racing and even dirt rally racing in the past. A dark past I'm so ashamed of, just very lucky no one got hurt nor damaged. I used to be an "adrenaline junkie" when I was younger.
But in the last several years, I've been paranoid so much about making even the tiniest mistakes so I go about everything in life very very carefully and often slowly. Afraid to hurt anyone by any degree.
