Default Does the way you drive reflect on your real personality?

Does the power and image of your car go to your ego when you drive? Or do you have a split/multiple personality when driving?

I'm a prick!

like 4C1T said, it all depends. I have days where I lolligag enjoying the weather, I have days (usually mornings on my way to work) where I light the tires up as a friendly reminder to the a-hole pedestrians that the big red hand means don't cross, jackass!. But I digress. I'm really a nice guy, or so 1 or 2 people tell me , and I'm about as courteous as they get (with regards to signals, weaving, etc), I just drive faster than most.

I'm sure other drivers think otherwise, but my #1 goal is safe, efficient travel for myself and fellow motorists.

There's an old famous (probably dead now) actress that said (something like): "I'd never marry a man I hadn't seen drunk, because that when the real personality comes out". Soooo, my question is: "Is the driving personality the true personality of the person?". Meaning the inner asshole or nice person is "revealed" when they are driving. Is that true, ya think?

I voted on the second choice "Yes, I'm a sweet and courteous person all the time.".

and I am telling the truth.

I drive fairly aggresively and am fairly aggressive. I try to be courteous in life and while driving but still do what I want to and don't always conform.
