Personally, I find it endlessly frustrating and even terrifying to be in the passenger seat with a driver who jumps in the car and immediately goes… Then worries about Seatbelts/Radio/AC/Mirrors/Plugging in Phone/etc etc while driving.

    This right here. I’ve known two drivers with this exact habit. Spectacularly infuriating.

    Just let me out right here. I’ll walk.

      I’ve definitely had to teach myself to stop doing that. Now I have all the adaptive cruise control stuff which works perfectly fine for this task and saves on consumption.

        Not trying to sound mean: what in the world made you start doing that?

          I’m not sure I was doing exactly what they describe, not sure I was tapping as much as I just wasn’t staying regular and drifting +/- 5km/h to the point I got a couple complaints about it. I never realised it before and after that worked on keeping steady and it came quickly.

            Ah, ok, that’s actually a lot more understandable, actually

            I’ve known one of the flutter-footers and never thought to ask why
