I talk to everyone – Uber drivers, bartenders. On Twitter, people see me as some mean guy, but in real life, I am out there asking questions.
To drive a semi-truck, a driver needs a commercial driver’s license. While formal training isn’t required, most drivers enroll in a program to help prepare them for the written and practical exams in their states.

Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.
I love the sport, I love getting other drivers’ helmets and collecting some of the things that are special to me.
Entrepreneurship is one of the most important drivers for job creation. Moreover, social entrepreneurship offers not only a path for young people to transform their own lives, but also a way to empower others.
I think we all, as drivers, come to the table with a package. It’s either your speed and raw talent, your sponsorship money, your nationality. For me, one of my unique selling points is my gender, without a doubt.
I fear crazy cyclists just as much as I fear inconsiderate drivers. They are like cultists, dressed up like huge insects in dehumanising uniforms, so sure they are saving the planet that they care little for its inhabitants.
We profile drivers based on their riding behavior, driving behavior to make sure we weed out the bad-performing drivers, which are considered unsafe in terms of their driving profiles.
If you look back at our history, we always tend to see drivers in waves move in one direction so it’s not uncommon to have three, four or five of your top drivers exit for different reasons in a short period of time, two years, whatever it is.
I’ve played TaylorMade drivers since I was in high school, so it’s a comfortable look for me.
The year the bus drivers went on strike in Pittsburgh, I was twenty-three and living on the edge of the city in a neighborhood that was on the verge of becoming a ghetto. I had just been fired from a good job as a cartographer in a design studio where I had worked for about four months.
The three ordinary things that we often don’t pay enough attention to, but which I believe are the drivers of all success, are hard work, perseverance, and basic honesty.

I want to force the other drivers to find a way past me.
I believe that if we do not prevent Medicare from going bankrupt, it will go bankrupt. And that will be bad for everybody. We have to tackle our debt crisis. We have to tackle the drivers of our debt.
Major drivers of global unemployment are lack of job creation and skills shortage or mismatch.
I don’t think that all the coal miners – or even more realistically, say, the truck drivers whose jobs may be put out by self-driving cars and trucks – they’re all going to go and become web designers and programmers.
I just thank the people who took part in our graduated drivers task force, who came with their thoughts and ideas as to how we can best keep our roads safe, and it has paid off.

I’m trying to build relationships with the drivers trying to figure out who is going to help, who is not going to help and who I can trust.
Lagos is sometimes emblematic of disorder. In traffic, drivers make their own rules. There is a constant war between our street hawkers and our various forms of law enforcement deployed to eradicate the ‘indiscipline’ of poverty.
California – with more cars, more drivers and more people – still has less DWI-related deaths than Texas does.
The data does not support that high-income tax cuts are the main drivers of growth, so I don’t think that uncertainty over what the tax rate will be for someone that makes a million dollars a year has that big an impact on the economic growth rate in the country.
I can hit a lot of drivers, be aggressive, and attack from the fairway.
If you have more downforce, everything becomes much easier. Drivers drive better, engineers they have more room for setup, the tyres are working better because you switch them on earlier and you have less degradation.
Small businesses are the economic drivers of our country, providing the stimulus our communities need.
The fact that people are regarding me as the team leader doesn’t change much. At the Sauber F1 team both drivers get the same equipment and treatment.

Some cyclists are complete prats, obviously, but so are some drivers.
We want to get more women into the sport, whether that be marshals, volunteers, engineers, female racing drivers. We want to open up the sport and show there’s opportunities out there.
I don’t care what the other drivers think of me. They can say what they want.
At the end of the day, concussions are best dealt with between the drivers and their personal physicians.
I tell all the rookies that come into our series and all the young drivers they can come ask me anything at any time, and we’ll give them the straight shoot.
In the Eighties, I was everywhere. It was hard, because you didn’t see much of your children. I missed out on that. People make sacrifices – doctors, long-distance lorry drivers – and that was mine. I wasn’t left money, I had to go out and earn it.
One of the things that gave me most pleasure was a letter sent to me by Sebastian Vettel, written in his own hand, full of beautiful words and kindness. I wasn’t expecting this; usually, drivers don’t do this: they drive, and that’s it. But he is a beautiful person.
When drivers are going at their best, trying their hardest, taking chances and doing amazing things, that’s what fans love.
It might just be me, but it’s tough when you get drivers that don’t stay where they should be.
The Sauber F1 Team has put its trust in me for 2015, and it makes me proud, as Sauber is known to be one of the best teams in developing young drivers. It will be a great challenge.
One of the nice things about the Internet is you can do a comic that’s just for Ph.D. students, or for truck drivers, and you get to reach all of them without having to satisfy the other 99%.
Many of us who have cars have felt some form of extreme anger at other drivers because we feel they have put us in harm’s way. We might even envision ramming their cars or cutting them off in return, but do we actually do it? No, because the overwhelming majority of us never want to take another human life.
Safety is top priority for us, and all our drivers are fully certified; all of them are checked. Their addresses are checked. Backgrounds are checked. To whatever extent the Indian system makes it possible to check.
What we expect from our drivers, as team mates, is that they show respect for each other and allow one another enough room on the race track.
I wouldn’t say I am the most popular driver among the drivers, but I don’t need to be. What matters to me is the results and what the stewards say.
I worked for the troops my entire time in the United States Armed Forces because we know in the United States Armed Forces that it’s not the generals and the colonels that win battles, it’s the soldiers: it’s the people at the front, the mechanics with their wrenches, the drivers moving the logistics back in the rear.
I think what makes things interesting in Formula E, and I really hope it happens with me, is that many drivers are able to win the race. Maybe many drivers can win the championship.
I think NASCAR racing comes down… to going for those last-lap passes, making those risky moves. That’s what makes drivers unique.
It’s frustrating that you only have one or two, maybe three drivers that you can root for who are winning.
I looked at motor racing in America where at the Indy 500 the drivers are told ‘gentlemen start your engines’ and the crowd go wild because they know the race is about to start. I needed a hook and came up with ‘let’s get ready to rumble.’
In India, there are real consequences to inattention; drivers who jeopardize pedestrians can be lynched on the spot.
I think as a team we do OK with this because we are new and we need the drivers so we appreciate more if they do good for us than an established team, because you know it all and you know this environment here, it’s like ‘it cannot be me, it must be the driver’.
I get kids from all different cultures and nationalities coming up to me now, all wanting to be F1 drivers. They feel the sport is open to everyone.
There are no drivers like Formula One drivers. They are engineers, in a way. They are driving manual cars one-handed at 200 miles per hour around streets in Monaco. These cars use the ultimate in technology.
