If you are old enough to drive: Have you noticed a difference in your driving habits depending on who is in the car with you (ie a baby, friend, grandparents, date, etc)

If you are NOT old enough to drive: Do you think your parents or friends alter their driving when you're in the car? How so?

My example is this:

If it is just me in the car, I drive a little faster and am not as focused on stopping waaaay before I have to. If I have a child or parent / grandparent in the car, I will drive the speed limit and make sure I give myself plenty of time to stop.

Just something I've noticed about my own driving habits.

Yes, I am old to drive, and I drive daily.

When my parents are in the car, I drive like my dad, and he drives normally with the occasional aggression when people drive too slowly.

When my friends are in the car, I drive faster, maybe like 10 more the speed limit, so 55 is 65 m.p.h.

If my GF is in the car, I drive slower like 5 less than the speed limit, so 55 is 50, not a big difference, but i'm still driving at a legal speed.

If my Grandparents are in the car, I drive super aggressively, kinda like I have road rage.

But it all depends where I am. If in in America I'd drive like that, if i'm in the Dominican, where we have some people who don't know how to drive at all, but still have their licence, I drive aggressively in my Mighty Max because one, I don't want to collide with another car No insurance in D.R., and also the drivers there also use road rage as well.

Somewhat. Passengers tend to change the weight distribution. Sometimes, on ice or when taking corners at high speeds, that comes into play. I adjust my driving to compensate for the weight.

Otherwise, no. I always drive aggressively.

Always aggressive unless there's kids in the vehicle

I don't let kids in my vehicle. If it ever comes up, I tell the parents how I drive and the problem solves itself.
