    I drove for about an hour today. On my way I met two drivers who broke excessively. Like every slight bend, they were on the breaks. And this wasnt even on the same road. Two completely separate and unrelated drivers, driving like pricks at 30 miles an hour in a 60 road. Also, assholes who dont give a fuck about lanes. They start of in one lane, hit a turn or a roundabout, and all of sudden they are taking turns like F1 drivers. About 4 of these types of dicks. And last but not least, on my way home, some little boy racer prick in a ford fiesta with go faster fart noises coming out of a gaped exhaust that looked like an only fans chicks arsehole. He was on the motorway, hogging the fuck out of the outside lane. After so many arseholes, I just said fuck it, and drove right up his arse to force to get the fuck out of the way(I know, dont care). And the wee prick had the cheek to look at me like I was the asshole I booted past him.

    Honestly, the sheer amount of terrible driving, obliviousness to other road users, and lane hogging is enough to drive you mad. No cunt knows how to zipper, no cunt knows how to indicate BEFORE they start their manoeuvre. No one keeps a 2 second distance. Everyone is just out there, being a fucking arsehole. I exaggerate, of course. The majority of drivers are fine. But theres just so many cunts, it feels like youre driving the fury road most days.

      Radio: “Watch out, there’s a wrong way driver on the highway!”

      Listener: “One? I see hundreds!”


      and drove right up his arse to force to get the fuck out of the way

      Sometimes the one complaining about asshole drivers might be one themselves.

      It’s a small thing, and irrelevant to your comment, and I’m sorry for any embarrassment I may cause you. You’re using the wrong word. When a car actively decelerates it is braking https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/brake-or-break-difference

      Other than that, I do agree with you, I put about 50k km (30k miles) on the odometer each year, and the amount of shitty drivers out there is astounding. The other day I saw an elderly couple trying to enter a roundabout. It was a busy section of road during rush hour. Driver was looking both right and left, instead of just looking left like you’re supposed to. They had a clear left, but oh no car is entering the two lane roundabout to our right, we better yield … Generally roundabouts, it’s like people didn’t hear about them when training for their license.

              Might be, but getting so angry while driving that you drive like an reckless asshole as some kind of weird revenge on an unrelated third party is an anger management issue.

              One that should disqualify you from driving.

                Depends what you mean by angry? Out of control, yeah. But I was never out of control. Thats you putting that on me, to make yourself feel superior. Classic case of redditor syndrome.

                  Using multiple punctuation marks comes across like yelling.

                  See??? It’s like I’m yelling with my keyboard!!!

                  It’s like a step below caps-lock.

      This reminds me of my local “$CITY’s Worst Drivers” Facebook group, where every single post has a bunch of racist comments saying that every bad driver is an immigrant.

      As someone who almost gets killed by drivers on a weekly basis (yay commuting by bicycle in North America!) I confirm everyone sucks at driving. All genders, races, ages. It’s almost as if cars are an inherently dangerous and shitty means of transportation.

          It’s literally sexist to deny it. Women are demonstrably worse at spacial tasks than men. Like … controlling a vehicle in 3D space.

          It would also be sexist to say every woman drives worse, or every guy drives better, but it is also sexist to deny where the averages lay.

              Yes, because men do dumber stunts, not drive worse when they’re trying. The stats don’t lie.

              I’m not aiming to justify bigotry, but to point at the OBVIOUSNESS of someone looking at drivers who are performing poorly. That will statistically lean towards more women deivers. Insurance only looks at what they have to pay out on. Like some dumbass taking a corner too fast and wrecking multiple vehicles is going to more likely be a guy than a woman, but someone blowing a stopsign or screwing up their lane command because they were distracted by something else is more likely a woman.

              I’m sorry reality doesn’t agree with you, but it also doesn’t agree with your moronic assumptions in what I think, either.

                  No, it’s literally not when most guys are not doing “dumb stunts” most of the time.

                  It’s the commonality of banal events vs the expense of the catastrophic events. You are being too stupid to differentiate these two VERY different things.

          That’s good.
          I personally still don’t love these comments even as satire but i admit it’s not the same thing.
