Mine: Calm, but aware. I assume the people are around me are not paying attention.

I'm a fairly conservative driver.... yeah, I'm in the fastest lane of the freeway and likely NOT observing the speed limit, but conservative - "go with the flow" and not weaving in and out of traffic. I'm polite to others, always use my indicators when changing lanes, I let people in. I've never gotten a ticket.

Mostly steady. People say I'm a fast driver although that's more because I carry speed rather than constantly slowing and speeding. On a long distance drive I'll balance the desire to get there with the desire to increase fuel economy and not get a speeding ticket. On roads I know well I may open the taps a bit but that's more about enjoying the bends than outright speed.

If outright speed is needed I don't have a problem with it, I'm not the kind of driver who starts to get scared when the speed rises, as long as conditions are appropriate. It's one thing to drive at high speed on an empty road but a very different proposition when other drivers are around.

Overall I'm a pretty steady driver. I've never received any driving tickets.

Lead foot.

Wife's van gets 28 mpg with daughter driving it, 26 with wife driving it, and about 23 with me driving it! :D

For the most part my driving reflects how I interact with people in life, carefully and with caution. On those occasions where someone is being aggressive, I prefer to give way and remain in a defensive driving position, because of the inherent danger that comes with operating a motor vehicle. I have on a few occasions answered aggression with aggression and it's super dangerous.

Tickets are expensive so I mostly stick to the speed limit, although on open roads like some in the outback I've traveled 150+ kph (93mph).
