Just What the FUCK Is Wrong With People's Driving? Post Your Examples!

Last summer I was coming home from a friends house after dark. I live in the country where there are winding roads with no place to pass.
I'm about 5 miles from home when I catch up to a pickup truck going a lot slower than the speed limit. I'm almost home so I just slow down behind him. Another car catches up to us and is just a few feet from my bumper. He then puts on his high beams.
I thought what did I do to him? I can't go any faster because there is a truck in front of me. I reach a place where I can pull over. he goes past me and is right on the trucks bumper.
The genius then passes the truck on a hill when a car is coming the opposite direction. I thought he would hit the car head on but he just got back in the right lane as the car passed. My knees were shaking. Where did he have to go? Was he drunk? Or was he just an idiot? I'll never know. Be careful out there.

Sweetheart, I live in a town where so many people drive and do not even speak English, much less read it. So... many traffic accidents.

I always pray before leaving the house and drive defensely, but mostly pray. Heh.

Okay. Here's a story to go along with the topic:

Was driving down a major city highway after work, oh only about 2 in the afternoon. Was stopped at a red light waiting for it to turn green, cars in front of me stopped. Am sitting there just waiting, got my coffee in the console, etc., just waiting.

All of a sudden I get impacted from a vehicle in the rear. From the sense of the impact, he was traveling about 35 MPH or so. He's about 30ish. Didn't ask if I'm okay.

There was a car behind him, unmarked cop car, who the 'defendant driver' seemed to know. Detective told me he would call the cop to make a report.

Cop came - diddled around - found some excuse not to make report. Asked if I was ok and I said no, so he called some other agency to come and do his work.

So we're all (girl driver in front of me that my car hit) and defendant driver and me. Defendant driver tells me how he is a hard worker and has a good job, blah, blah, blah - still hasn't asked if I'm okay.

In the interim, he calls his entire family who are latinos. They all stand there and speak in Spanish - must've been 8 of 'em there. I just went to my car and turned on a/c as it was about 90 or so degrees.

When the cop gets there finally, the defendant driver lies to the cop, tells him that I was not stopped but was moving in traffic and that the light was green. I promptly corrected the story and gave the facts. I had hot coffee spilled all over me, drenched my cell phone and busted open gallon jugs of water in my car also.

The defendant driver was ticketed and I had serious damage to my car and to myself.

Lying liar. I don't care if he works hard or not. I was taught that is what we are supposed to do. Also, a bit of remorse and the truth would have probably helped him out.

Know what I think: I think he was texting when he didn't stop for the light.

Tourists!

They stop in the middle of the road, even on blind curves and get out to take pictures.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all!!

Please, drive safely, we all know how poorly others can drive on the roads this time of year.




Peace and love always, guys<3

what i notice most is starting to change lanes then using signal seems like more often than not

Especially in major city areas.. See that a lot in NYC area...


Merry Christmas!!

yup, it's like thanks for telling me you just turned, asshole LOL

Merry Christmas Eeks!!

OP is right. It is a result of inverted people, inverted society. It is more important to get nowhere fast while texting than to be responsible. People with little to lose are often late, harried, hungover or wasted, so big biz has part to blame for leaving only min wage jobs in this country
