The middle driver is also an asshole in that situation. Stop tailgating.

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

“If I’m tailgating you, you’re an asshole.”

The small dick energy of this truck is amazing.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 8 points 1 day ago

Putting a sign for the car infront of you to read on the back of your vehicle is incredibly on brand for Pavement Princesses.

[–] obsolete@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

The tailgater is also an ass hole.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I imagine him getting blocked and screaming "do you not see the bumper sticker," to the car in front of him...

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

But... how is "you" supposed to see that?

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

The asshole in his giant micropenis truck is right, you are also an asshole when you behave like that.

Can’t believe they got the apostrophe in the right place.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

It sure does smell here like an american driving culture.

Isn't this a message that the intended recipient will never see?

Unpopular opinion. But my experience has been that the people who have road rage the worst, are incredibly hostile, aggressive, reckless, and dangerous drivers.

they are always riding other drivers ass. Cutting them off. Refusing to let other drivers in. Whipping around fast any time anyone in front of them isn't going 10 miles over the speed limit. Just the worst drivers.

They cause accidents too. I know two such guys. They both have a long history of car accidents. Whereas I, a non hostile friendly driver, have none. And I'm 40.
It's because I don't drive like an jackass. These are the same kind of men who insist women can't drive. Yet my record compared to theirs says otherwise.

If I see someone trying to merge. I make room for them.

I don't drive right up behind people. I don't honk if they are going a little below the speed limit. I mean there are speed cams all over cities.

It's normal for people to be a little conservative with speed to not get those $150 tickets.

Sometimes people are new to the area. Or trying to follow a gps.

I doubt anyone is driving slow just to fuck with me. A stranger in another car. You know?

I also don't assume people are intentionally trying to fuck up my day. No one drives perfect 24/7. We all miss our turn. Occasionally forget to check before merging. People make mistakes. Getting angry is not productive or helpful.

I don't get mad at people for messing up one time. You know? But if they are driving aggressively and putting other people at risk I sometimes do use some passive aggressive methods to block them in so they can't swerve like a maniac around other cars and cause an accident.

It's pretty rare that I do that but I have. This comes from my opinions on anti-social behavior in society needing to be discouraged. You may or may not agree with my stance on this. ("Anti social refers to disruptive hostile social behaviors, not how much of an introvert someone is).

One time I did it, it was apparently an unmarked cop car. They kept using the shoulder to weave in and out of slow traffic. Very aggressively. Forcing themselves between cars. Not waiting for gaps.

So I slightly pulled to the right to block them from using the shoulder to keep doing it. Then they flashed their lights at me. I'm certain they were not on a cop mission. Just an asshole entitled cop. Otherwise he would have just drove on the shoulder with his lights on.

Being a cop doesn't mean you get to drive where you put other people at risk because you think you shouldn't have to sit in traffic. Everyone has places they need to get to. That's why we are all in cars driving.

Insurance actuaries agree: men are worse drivers.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

That's sweet and all...

Get over to the right bro. Yes people drive dangerously. Yes there are improvements everyone can make.

GET OVER.

If you are in the left lane and you are not passing, you are a full-to-the-top absolute shitwagon. These are the rules.

Sorry that I want to create enough space for safety. If you'd just drive the speed limit instead of switching between 15 and 5 under the speed limit, I wouldn't have had to overtake you.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 86 points 2 days ago (57 children)

If you're that close to the car in front, you're the bigger asshole and causing by far the bigger danger

[–] socsa@piefed.social 42 points 2 days ago (5 children)

The people who are obsessed with this are also the people who seem to think any person in the left lane at any time gives them justification to aggressively weave in and out of traffic, ignoring the equally present laws against speeding and undertaking.

This the the guy two inches behind me when I'm already doing 15 over the speed limit

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Same.

If I'm going faster than other traffic and already over the limit by a decent amount, I'll move over once the middle lane is clear, but I'm not speeding up just because you're impatient.

In fact, I'll slow down just a wee bit.

I give no fucks.

But, the caveat to that is that I don't loiter in the passing lane at ten under the limit. It's the passing lane. I'm there because, you know, I'm passing people and not because I think I need to do 95 mph in a lifted truck just to assert my dominance over the morning commute.

Kind of surprised by how many people are defending this shit.

If you tailgate people, you can go fuck yourself.

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Im surprised by the people indicating that they don't pull over on purpose, literally just to be an asshole.. Tailgating is idiotic, but you can do something about it by getting out of the way. Its safer to have as much room around you as possible. Don't tailgate, let people pass, and pass quickly. Who wants to drive right next to someone, in their blind spot or in yours? Use your controls to either speed up or slow down.

For the tailgater's here, driving fast barely saves time on short trips. You might save as much as 2 minutes on your daily 20 mile commute driving like an absolute maniac. But who wants to risk a ticket or accident doing that everyday and then paying an increased insurance rate on top of potentially losing your car and spending time in the hospital with an insane medical bill?

You know what I do if someone's tailgating me? I imagine that they're a bomb disposal expert on their way to diffuse a nuke at a school for blind orphan kittens, I pull over and let them on their way, and smile at the thought of all those kittens who'll be saved. Stress level 0.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I just think "dickheads to the front". I'd rather have bad drivers in front of me, where I can see them and avoid their bad driving.

It makes me feel good to know that done jaggoff in a lifted truck thinks i am an asshole

[–] ericwdhs@discuss.online 8 points 1 day ago

I mean... if you are regularly camping the red car spot, this feels like a good spot for the "he's out of line, but he's right" meme.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

If you drive that close behind me, you're the asshole and I'm doing that on purpose.

[–] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Says the bumper sticker on the giant ass pickup truck who blocks your entire view and always drives 5mph below the limit.
