    Do you ever look at the people who drive by in the oncoming lane?

    When you come to a stop light, do you look at the people behind you in your rear view mirror?

    I do, but not all the time.

    I usually look at the people next to me at a red light. And if you make eye contact with them, than of course you have to race em.

    I tend to look in the rearview, or at people ahead or in front, but not directly next to me. I might sometimes. I assume though, that they're looking at me, so I always try to look like I'm really into the song I'm singing.

    sometimes I think that the person coming just needs to sneeze and swerve then im dead

    other times I imagine myself swerving into them on purpose head on :)

    At lights, I look at the people in front of me through their rearview.

    If they notice they either look intimidated or threatening/pissed.

    This very phenomenon is I think an awesome window into figuring out human behavior...

    try giving the person that pulls up next to you the big goofy death stare and DONT BLINK. watch them giggle and look away, then look back and youre STILL DOING it.

    If I'm just looking forward, and I feel the person next to me's eyes on me, I look over very abruptly with the comedic death stare.

    Honestly though, at least fifty percent of people that look are complete cocknockers anyways. so are about fifty percent of the non-lookers..

    I usually only pay much attention if I think I recognize the car and am trying to figure out if it's who I think it is. I did notice a few weeks ago when I was with my friend, we were going 70 with the cruise on and she was talking (and driving) and this guy on a motorcycle starts passing us slowly in the turning lane and the whole time, he is staring directly at us. He didn't turn to look at the road or anything the whole time he was passing. It was really weird, his eyes burned into my soul.

    When I'm driving I'm paying attention to the road. When I'm at a stop light I'm watching the light and side traffic because when that light turns green I'ma gonna be the first one to hit the speed limit.

    I'm a horrible people watcher. I'm always looking at people, if I'm in my car.. or wherever.

    Driving is generally my "thinking" time, however, I thoroughly enjoy looking at people's driving faces.

    I feel like everyone I look at has a really ridiculous expression on their face while driving...most of them look rather constipated. It makes me laugh

    Really?

    If I'm alone and driving, I'm usually singing. Loudly. And badly. Wether or not I have music playing.

    I wonder what people think.

    When I go driving I stay in my lane
    But getting cut off; it makes me insane
    Open the glove box,
    Reach inside,
    Gonna wreck this fucker's ride,
    'Cause I got a bad habit



    that said, i generally don't pay any attention to who else is on the road. there are two major exceptions. the first is when i notice an attractive female. in that case, i look. the other exception is a recent one. a couple months ago i moved to a small town, and i quickly noticed that people here like to stare. like, if you walked a circle around them their head would turn 360 degrees and their neck would break before they look away from you. so, when i notice someone's slowly driving by while looking straight backwards at me instead of the road, i generally stare back at them. but, as per my first point, i generally don't notice what other people on the road are doing anyway, so when i do catch the creepy starers it's usually at the ass-end of their drive bys anyway.

    Hell yes, especially when I'm not driving and have just shmoked, because then I get a little paranoid.
