Safe Driver

Poorly executed Y-turns are my pet peeve

About Me

I enjoy Sunday morning drives at 1 mph under the speed limit, signaling before turns and lane changes, calling the police to report acts of "reckless drivering" on the road, stopping completely at stop signs, yielding to on coming taffic, waving people to turn ahead of me, Giving other drivers a 5 second following distance (just in case), and being Defensive on the road!

My Interests

I enjoy driving as slow as conditions allow, properly maintaining my car, changing my oil every 3,000 miles and rotating the tires every 6,000 miles, listening to AM radio, and pulling over on the side of the road to rest when I feel tired.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone who respects the rules of road and has a perfect driving record just like mine!

Music:

I don't listen to music. It's too dangerous while driving. Instead, I enjoy listening to talk radio. Sometimes I'm tempted to call in and make a comment, but talking on your cell phone while driving more than triples your reaction time on the road.

Movies:

The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Torque, Days of Thunder, (All great examples of how NOT to drive, I take notes). I also enjoyed Driving Miss Daisy.

Television:

Knight Rider

Books:

I'm writing one now. It's called "Driving Safely: The Matt Janecek Story"

Heroes:

Frank Stalone...his contributions to the "Rocky" Series are priceless. "There's no Easy Way Out" Frank...no easy way out...
