Most of the time that I see some shitbird pull a dick move, they have a shit car and look exactly how you imagined they would.
Aside from speeding and some questionable lane changes, I don't see people in nice cars do much stupid. Stupid bitch that pulls through three lanes of traffic to make a left out of a parking lot, coming to a dead stop in one of the right-moving lanes so she can get an opening in the leftward lanes... Yeah... usually a rat in a shit car.

Prius and smart car owners are for the most part terrible drivers here in Seattle.

OP might be on to something here. Hyundai/Kia, cheap cars and terrible drivers.

I haven't met anyone that shoots a hi-point that I'd consider a good shot. Not that it's related to the OPs theory.

yes.
it becomes apparent in a hurry why their poor decisions likely lead to their shitty vehicle situation |

Today, a BMW SUV followed someone through a stop sign with out even slowing down, missed another driver and I by inches, if I weren't aware and hadn't slammed my brakes I would have a totalled beat up 91' Honda Prelude. Don't flatter yourself mate, people of all monetary classes can be inconsiderate and a terrible driver.

Kia drivers. I don't know what it is around here, but yikes man. I avoid them now.
I've gotten used to the brodozers, just stay out of their way and expect them to do the stupidest thing imaginable. I had one recently zoom around me (I was in the left turn lane) and make a left turn from the straight lane, under a red light, into oncoming traffic. Truck ended up on it's side in the middle of the road when it got hit by a real truck (read semi) going around 50MPH.

But the beater drivers drive like they have nothing to loose. It's already a piece of shit, what does a collision or two matter? View Quote This! Not that I would intentionally cause other people damage, but when I still had my my old 01 Silverado I would park in closer tighter spots than I will with my new Tundra. Just because people in shitwagon tacorockets don't give a shit and will ding your door without second though just to roll their fatass out of the front seat. I was used to not paying attention to damage until I got my Tundra and got a visible dent/door ding the first week I had it. |

Don't be jealous that I drive a car worth less than your deductible, I love to see the look on the Mercedes driver's face when I aim for his fender in heavy traffic

Around here its the damn brodozers that are always doing something stupid.
Was stuck behind a dodge with a douchey monster logo on the interstate this morning. Doing 50 in a 70, rolling roadblock style next to a semi. For 4 miles. |

I figured you're driving a new car because you keep getting in wrecks. Cars last fucking forever now. If you didn't crash all the time you wouldn't need to keep buying new cars.

Yes. It's the "Mine is cheaper" game. When I drove a cheap car, I looked for something worth money to merge into in freeway traffic. Despite their unusually consistent levels of residual post merge road rage, they all let me in. Nobody wants their status symbol dinged up by a cheap fuck who may not even have insurance.

Crappy paint helps with that. |

Like others have said, it depends on your indicator of 'crappy'. I'm actually very impressed with most drivers here and due to the town you see a mix of farmers in old pickups as well as wealthy soccermoms in brand new SUVs.
I tend to give people a wide berth who have obvious issues though. Missing bits of their car all the way down the driver side... bumper pieces, headlights, corner lights, mirrors, smashed fender, dented doors, etc. Presumably caused by cutting corners too tight and smashing a car waiting at the intersection, you know those people that need to take a racing line when turning across a stop sign... My only 2 mentions that incidentally go along with some stereotypes are: 1- Traveling down a two-lane 45 in the right lane, Older man probably 60-70y/o in a newer Nissan Titan begins creeping out of a parking lot on the right trying to make a left, I know sometimes it's difficult to see without inching forward so I assume he will stop. Nope. Rolls out until his bumper is dead center of my lane and then stops. I frequently check my mirrors so I knew nobody was on my left and was able to brake and swerve left to avoid him. 2- At a 4 way stop, with myself at the 6 o clock stopped and 2 others stopped at the 9 and 12. It's my turn to go but I see a car approaching at the 3 o clock and I wait before going to make sure it will stop. Car blows through and suddenly stops directly in the middle of the intersection. Young girl probably 16-20, looks up and around at the other cars like she's surprised this happened. Obvious from my higher vantage point(was in my offroad rig at the time) that she was texting. Still phone in hand, shoots me a dirty look like it was my fault and then speeds off... |

Around here most traffic laws seem to be optional. I lived in LA for 18 months in the late 80's. I drive more defensively here than I did in LA then.
Any stop sign with a white trim line around the edge is optional, green means go, yellow means go really, really fast and red doesn't necessarily mean stop if the people with the green light haven't started to move yet. Turn signals are a sign of weakness, NASCAR style drafting is a requirement at any speed over 2 mph, speed limits are at best a poor suggestion since 15 to 20 over is the normal. I could go on. I would really like to know how so many of these idiots managed to get through all the mandatory drivers training I keep hearing the gun grabber's quote as justification for the latest 2A restriction bid. Seems like they hand them out in cereal boxes here. |

You should have seen me in my 1972 Chevy Caprice I bought for $100 and got running............we called it the Swiss Cheese car due to all the holes in the fenders from rusting...............I swear I was NEVER tailgated in that car!!

Around S. Florida, all the drivers are morons! I'm thinking of getting an old beater to drive for the daily commute and parking my nice car for the weekends around the neighborhood. Lexus, BMW & Mercedes drivers are the worst in my community.
Last night some 87 y.o. moron drove his Lincoln Towncar into the local Bob Evans for a quick meal. I guess he thought it was a drive-thru! |
|
my commute is either 40 or 80 miles a day. So I get to see a lot of assclownery. The people who I have seen to take the most chances and drive like morons are coeds in anemic econo boxes. You can tell they are coeds from the local university's parking decal placed upon their rear window. They are constantly texting while driving and they pass people in blind curves and they pass several people at once. Keep in mind this main road everyone uses is very curvy, only two lanes and has no shoulder. When I say no shoulder, huge ditches right off the edge of the highway.

No, people can't drive.....PERIOD.
My wife, in all seriousness, asked me the other day if someone had painted a bullseye on her car or put a bounty on her head. It is alarming how many close calls we have both had in the past few months. And the frequency is increasing. It's not just Tidewater either, we've been all around the state and it's the same. I have yet to see a pattern of make/model/age/sex/color. NO ONE CAN DRIVE. I can't drive the 5 miles to work anymore without doing at least one panic stop or swerve to avoid someone. People drift lanes, don't signal lane changes/turns, excessive speeding and then suddenly slowing, etc, etc, etc When I left work yesterday, in the 2 blocks to the gas station I saw a woman driving down the wrong side of the street in front of me narrowly avoid hitting a person oncoming and saw a Jeep rear end a van in a right turn lane. I may drive like an asshole sometimes, but it's to get away from the retards. |

I drive a beat up 4Runner and I have the oppsite problem. I seem to be an idiot magnet. People seem to drive worse around me.

Cell phones have become a major issue. Assclowns sit in the fast lane swerving, driving 5 under then 10 over while texting or talking on speaker holding their phone up like a fucking Starbucks coffee.
Then u got the fucks who want to pace the gravel trucks blocking anyone who's got shit to do. Or the old fuck in the shit box who rides the bike lane kicking up gravel and tire chunks. I drive like an aggressive asshole as a defense mechanism. It keeps me safe and accident free for the last 25 years. I drive a duramax, a 550 bmw and a Audi q7. Just get the fuck out of my way or prepare to get cut off. |

The slow impeding traffic clueless BMW drivers piss me off too. Take your leased status symbol and ultimately drive the fucking thing off a cliff. They need to have a performance driving test before you can buy or lease a BMW. Only folks under a certain track time.

No The average person is a fucking idiot. View Quote True fact, spend some time on motorcycles playing death chess and you'll discover that young or old, nice car or beat down shit-box, everyone is a self-absorbed idiot who doesn't give a damn about anyone else, their concerns and actions center on themselves and their NEEDS and nothing more. A beater car just tells me the driver possibly has nothing else to lose and most likely are driving dirty, but watch out the the brand new Prius, in this liberal berg that driver is most likely listening to NPR, texting on their phone and drinking their fair trade coffee, what's going on outside of their little world has no concern for them... |

As someone who actually drives the speed limit and gets passed by most everyone. I've not noticed a correlation in the type of vehicle that paases me. Everybody seems to be running late Everyday!

What exactly do BMW owners do to piss you guys off?
When Im driving my Honda I never notice BMW drivers being dicks. When Im driving my BMW if you're camping in thr fast lane I want you to get over, other then that I mind my business like other BMW drivers on the road. |

How come people see driving and their car as something beyond a method or mode of transportation from point a to point b?
