Due to several reasons, I was “late” getting my license at 20. But I passed both exams (the theory questions and the actual driving) in one try. Didn’t have any theory questions wrong… So I thought I didn’t do too badly.

I’ve been driving ever since. I’ve been in one accident so far (and that was enough), which was my fault, according to the laws. But, the other driver needed to follow a course after it, as it seems he kept causing these kinds of accidents, so the insurance felt like he was doing it on purpose… But yeah, I’ve been doing OK so far.

But, now that I need to drive more again, since the move, I do wonder about my driving at times. Not that I’m thinking my driving is bad… But I do often wonder if the rules have changed…

I mean, I am not a slow driver. I don’t pull up with squeaky tires, but I do push the pedal when it’s green again. But, I don’t drive too fast. As in, I don’t speed. I’ve never really done that, and I don’t see any pros in doing that.

I just make sure I leave in time and, should something happen to make me later, then I’ll try to contact the person I was heading to to let them know I’m a bit later. I usually have my speed about 2 km above the limit on normal roads and about 4km above the limit on the highway.

My autistic brain just can’t understand why people feel the need to break the laws, so that they can be a few minutes earlier. They make the roads less safe for others. When you think they drive 100, and you wanna overtake a truck, and then they are behind you when you don’t expect them because they were doing 130 on a 100 part… 🤔 And of course they’ll blame you for being a dangerous driver, because they have to brake, because you’re not paying attention of them speeding… 🤔

When I was in Cuijk, I could do loads by walking, so I needed my car less. But now, I’m on the road more, and it just amazes me how many people speed and break the rules. Or they just seem to not know the rules. And they’ll definitely get mad when you try to keep to the rules.

Is it because they think their cars are so much safer these days? That they figure they can do crazy things because the rules were made for “unsafer” cars? 🤔

I know, some rules just seem weird or silly… Even to my logically rule following autistic brain. But still, they are the rules and if everyone would know them, and follow them, I do believe the roads would be safer… Things would be more predictable, so you would be able to access the situations better and react accordingly.

There would be less agitation, because people would not need to feel pressured to do things while driving… If that makes sense… 🤔

I mean, if I drive 62 on the 60 road, people would not feel the need to push Skoosh off it in any way, because they would stick to the rules as well…

I do understand that people not following the speed limits by going like a snake… Yeah they can agitate me too. But again, it’s because they don’t follow the rules! I don’t need people to drive 80 in a 60 zone… But I do want them to go faster than 42… 🫣

Yeah, I was stuck behind someone who drove 42 on the 60 road, and when the speed bumps came (which can normally be taken with said 60), the person braked to 30! It was rather dangerous. And annoying… If you’re not sure you can drive, make sure they you don’t well, drive… I mean, when I drive 62 in the 60 zone, people get crazy to overtake me there. Guess how they would react when they come behind someone doing 42, and even slowing to 30 at the speed bumps. At some point, it will probably end badly…

I always tell my parents, if you can’t drive for some reason, and you need to be somewhere, let me know and I’ll make sure that I can drive for you!

I’ll keep doing my best to drive safely and following the rules… I just hope others will do the same… Don’t wanna be in an accident some day because someone thought they’d be cool if they f*cked with the rules/law…
