WTF lady, I'm not plowing through an intersection when I don't have right of way nor can see oncoming traffic so you can fucking text. Not my fault you didn't notice the light changed before I entered the intersection.

Fuck, young women are horrifying on the road.

Two people in my city had been decapitated in recent months due to rear ending semi trucks, which blew my mind even further as to why someone would be so stupid as to get that close.

My ex was guilty as fuck of this.
She wasn't even a shit driver (minus some minor road rage), but she could not help being on her phone all the time.
>she's on a 5 hour drive back to her home town
>constantly receiving messages from her
>ask if she's still actually driving

Scared the shit out of me, at least now she limits it mostly to red lights

Is this in Australia? Melbourne. The guy was in a gold Mercedes?

Because the exact same shit happened to me, only i just overtook the fucker.

Fucking drunk drivers.
Surprised my van survived with only a dent and little crack to the back bumper, messed up the electrical for the thunk though. Her old Honda was a wreck with the whole front mangled up. I can't help but watch my rear-view when I'm at a red now.

Driving in the left lane on a normal city 4-lane road (2 lanes each direction). The car making a right turn is about 2 car lengths ahead, it moves partially into my lane in order to make the right turn. WHY do cars do this nonsense instead of slowing down to turn. I cross the double yellow line slightly in order to avoid hitting that car since there are no cars coming head on. So no need to slam brakes.

I am in the left lane and another car is to the right of me and slightly ahead by five feet. It decides to turn into a driveway at the mall. It swerves into my left lane about 5 feet ahead of me before turning right. I had to jerk over into the middle turn lane to avoid hitting that car that is partially in my lane.

So many cars, especially trucks, like to move slightly to the left before making a sharp right turn. It is very annoying. Most cars don't do that though. Where do people learn these terrible habits like moving partially to the left before turning right?

>two left turn lanes
>the worst part was it was one of those people that understeers and enters the middle lane, only to pull back into the left lane after completing the turn, made me ree

Almost like your case only there were two right turn lanes and I was on the rightmost one with a curb. The old scratched up white ford pickup truck to my left turns right and is now about 1/3 in my lane. I am forced to brake hard AND hit the curb grinding on it to avoid him. He keeps going of course.

I have a new car. It is my first day of ownership with really nice coated alloy wheels. The tires are not the rim protector type. My alloy is good and deeply scratched.

I've taken possession of the new car at the dealer and I have been in this car less than an hour and already there is damage. PEOPLE SUCK. Especially those who cut you off and force you to either hit them or wreck yourself whereupon they might even LOL and drive off.

Shoulda just let him hit you.

I move to the left when I turn right, and I move to the right to turn left. Then I cut in towards the curb. Racing line, yo.

I never go out of my lane though.

When I took my driving test in Japan, the proctor called that an "American turn" and said it would fail us instantly.

>Overtaking guy by using overtaking lane
>Guy swerves at me deliberately as I pass
>Wake up in the ditch on the other side of road
>Call ambulance
>Footage of his plate, car and face on gopro that survived

Check. Mate. I don't live in America, so I didn't sue for eleventy billion dollars. But I got a nice new bike, augmented leg and shoulder going for me.

Too many bad driver experiences to list otherwise. Formerly a motorbike urgent courier.

He gunned his truck so he was technically ahead of me by 2/3 car lengths. I would have hit him on his right rear panel by the rear wheel. I didn't have a dash cam at that time (I do now) so he would have boldly lied and said I was the one that left my lane to hit him. The vast majority of people are liars when it comes to taking financial responsibility. This is a republican area after all so other peoples' problems are their problems. And if they have a problem, they make it someone else's problem so that they don't pay for it.

Regardless, my natural tendency is to not cause problems for others, so I did not hit him though he swerved into my lane, so I ate the curb.

Should have pitted him and floored it into the side of the truck, hopefully flipping it and killing him instantly. Best case scenario is that he didn't have any kids or brothers so you would take his retarded lineage out of the gene pool forever.

Nigger for real? If I had driven it blindly like a dumbfuck there's a 100% chance you would have killed me in your 7,000lb suburban.

No surprise there have been multiple accidents within the last few months.

Giving them the finger a couple of times and signalling for them to back the fuck off usually works from experience.

You never realize how many people actually drive drunk, it's always "older" people, like 40+. Did they not have the whole "drinking and driving bad" shit that gets shoved down our throats?

Yah my parents can't function without some alcohol in them it seems like. I've confronted them about it before back when they would grill me about doing drugs, way back before I actually did drugs

Don't be random on the fucking road, it's dangerous. Obey the fucking signals and rules that exist and no one gets confused.

If you want to be nice just allow room, don't just stop or whatever.

The first isn't a problem if people don't block intersections and driveways when the light turns red, which means maintaining proper following distances instead of tailgaiting, which means you didn't fall asleep during drivers ed

The second isn't a problem if you don't fall asleep in drivers ed

I hope trump makes regular drivers ed refreshsers mandatory after getting cut off by a mexican soccer mom in a crossover

I have to admit, this was satisfying.

>When I took my driving test in Japan, the proctor called that an "American turn" and said it would fail us instantly.

Amusing that USA drivers do that obnoxious selfish turning trick in Japan which has those community-oriented rules of behaviour.

Nearly put me off driving for life. Actually had a family member ask me unrelated a while later 'If you are on a motoroway sliproad, motorway traffic has to stop to let you in right?' Nearly lost it explaining how fucking wrong that is.

It just blows my mind, what the fuck was he trying to even do? Drafting?

>tfw a recording like this DOES NOT COUNT AS EVIDENCE in my country
In america, if the person is rich, they may be able to beat this. I was the witness in a case where the rich guy clearly ran the red light and hit someone. I gave my testimony to the police that showed up.

The rich person hired detectives and some troubleshooting people to try to grief me and intimidate me into simply saying "my memory is fuzzy" which would get the testimonly thrown out in court due to motions of the expensive defense lawyer team. But I was certain since I specifically watched the action happen and not just out of the corner of my eye (which is another way they throw things out).

They couldn't beat the physical evidence in combination with the independent witness, so the rich person managed to "get to" the judge somehow. The judge more or less threw out most of the charges! The only recourse for that is for the prosecution to file some sort of censuring charge against the charge which they didn't do. Presumably they also wanted to benefit from the rich people or had relatives and friends hired in sinecure jobs. Thus, the rich guy got away with it and has a clean record. He sure spent a lot of money though.

A normal person would have been convicted and then had charges increased for the failed challenge in court.

>It just blows my mind, what the fuck was he trying to even do? Drafting?

Yes, it is selfish drafting too. Ignoring the crash risk, the car in front receives a greater coupled load so their mileage drops due to that car in back being coupled to the front car's airstream. So if you like your mileage, you don't want someone drafting behind you since they are selfishly reducing your mileage.

Guy was going somewhere between 150 and 180 kph. I dunno if he was on the run from the cops or something but I doubt it, since I kept going for another 200km and no police ever showed up. By some miracle there also weren't any crashes. What an absolute madman.

The video shows it, but this picture shows the angry lady driver from the front car trying to blame the driver in back for hitting her car. The video clearly shows the lady backing up in traffic so that she could get to a parking space she overshot. She backed up and hit the car behind her which had already stopped as shown in the dashcam.

She stopped trying to blame the car in back of her after its driver pointed out he had a dashcam record her illegal driving.

It sucks that she was trying to boldly lie. She was using the "rear driver is almost always at fault" rule of thumb to support her lie that the driver behind her was at fault. Pointing out the dashcam in America can be a problem and it should be saved as a surprise witness for the police. That's because in America, the guilty party would then FORCIBLY invade your car and remove the memory chip from your dashcam so that you have no proof of their guilt. It may sound farfetched, but I saw this happen at the university I was attending where the 3 memboers of the guilty party attacked the lone person with the evidence and got rid of the evidence.

The crash risk was the chief thing on my mind at the time especially since I was in a bigass Ford Transit with no back window so literally all he could see was my big fat white ass.

>The crash risk was the chief thing on my mind at the time especially since I was in a bigass Ford Transit with no back window so literally all he could see was my big fat white ass.

He might have been depending on you being a conscientious driver and warning him by brake checking (without actual slowing) him long before you needed to actually slow down.

Pic related needs to be beat into people's thick fucking heads with a sledge hammer so bad. Every fucking day there's some douchebag in an Audi or BMW who thinks they're gonna save so much time by not letting you merge or speeding ahead of you to be 1 car closer to the end of the congestion.

Me, and the thousands of other cars on the road who will surely never do anything unpredictable.

Then again I had a 1.4 ton pallet of cement in the back so maybe I should've just let it fucking happen.

these people and the ones that don't inch forward if it's only half a car length during a congestion are making me rage so hard
they dont even notice that they are making it much worse for everyone, as others did to them

This is how I got into my first accident that was my fault.

The truck wasn't that much of a loss but it sucks to have an accident on my record. I'm not blaming the lady but my immediate thought after was "If this cunt would have just kept moving I would have went right after her. They also need to paint fucking lines on the ground there.

>riding motorcycle
>car doesn't see me

every fucking time

Wait, you mean you were amputated? That doesn't sound like check mate mate that sounds like a shitty draw.

Inching forward is the most stupid thing ever. wtf are you gaining, or the ones behind you, if you inch forward. Even if it's 20 cars that inch forward, it'll be about like 30-40m which isn't going to get you to work any faster.

since then:

number of tickets: 10+ (speeding, running stop signs, failure to yield, no seatbelt)

thankfully at this point he can't afford a car and if he could, he couldn't afford the insurance to get it on the road

There was NO where else you could have moved your car? Take a right, go fuck it mode and go into the intersection if no traffic? I will never brace for impact if I can do anything else to avoid damage to my car and other peoples

So this is what happens to Chads in cars?
Interesting to get the other side of the picture from the parent.

Don't blame anyone but you and your wife for his bad driving. Unless he's autistic you should have been able to get proper driving through to him at some point when he was learning or shortly after he got his license

Cop didn't see any of that shit happen so he didn't get pulled over. And you know he's going to do that shit again one day.

At 6', the truck driver could stand on his brakes and even then the car wouldn't be able to go underneath. There wouldn't be enough time or distance to create the speed differential necessary to break the rear guard bar.

>handsome son
>your wife's side
Pretty sure it's from chads side

I fucking hate people who don't understand right of way.

I couldn't turn right, that turn was a one-way exit for businesses and cars would be headed straight for me. I wasn't going to put my car in the middle of the intersection either. B-besides, if she didn't hit into me, what would she have hit? My van took that rear-end like it was nothing. It has since died, typical of a Ford.
The time I realized she wasn't stopping, to look for a nice place to avoid the hit wasn't long either.

this is why i never trust people that have their blinkers on, i will wait till the latest possible moment to go/turn if someone is approaching with their signal on. i've had people behind me honk and get mad just because i don't feel like getting tboned by some insurance fraud asshole

I'm in the US and I wish people would be failed for that here.

I wish people would get failed for a lot of things here.

>I don't live in America, so I didn't sue for eleventy billion dollars

Where the fuck do you get your info about America, fucking MTV?

Don't know what state you're in but in Jersey both the written test and driving test are stringent as fuck

They expect you to know stuff offhand that normal people would make a 2 second google search for

SHIGGY

>Where the fuck do you get your info about America, fucking MTV?
Foreigners that get their information from movies, clickbait articles, and Veeky Forums are the ones that talk about America like they live here

Just go to /int/ and see for yourself

More than likely yes. What I learned in my time living abroad is most sources about our culture abroad are shit. BBC used to be alright, but in recent times they've gotten terrible. They hear about people attempting crazy lawsuits, but then they never hear the "boring" outcome of the bitch getting the case thrown out, or losing and having to pay the defendant's legal fees.
I remember standing in a pizza place on Thanksgiving day watching what would otherwise be a decent news station talking about Obama pardoning the turkey.

>I remember standing in a pizza place on Thanksgiving day watching what would otherwise be a decent news station talking about Obama pardoning the turkey.
That's a tradition.
I don't know how or why it started but it's really all it is.

When you get a little more comfortable it's best to just change lanes or dip and wot that bitch. Show that motherfucker you are not to be messed with. Carry a gun while you ride too. Faggots try to kill us all the time.

You had me for a second

True, luckily many people have common sense and realize what they're seeing on media is either fake or cherry picked.

Then there are the ones who don't have common sense, like

So you were the one who said "your memory is fuzzy", which destroyed your testimony. Seems to me like you're a dumbass, it doesn't have anything to do with the other guy having money.

Oh my, this gentleman must have brain damage.

Thanks, now that song is stuck in my head. You are to blame for this.

You inch forward so more people can fit into the lane.
It's a courtesy to the people behind you.

Mitchell freeway's a fucking carpark. Left lane stalls after the first on-ramp and I don't like spending an hour and a half getting to work each morning. Easier to stay on the right and avoid the mad mergers.

kek, had a similar thing happen with my celica after it got squashed by a landcruiser that drifted into the front.

Then I am the one that makes you rage because I reduce the stop-and-go hysteresis by allowing big gaps in front of me.

What I do when I see traffic in front of me has stop-and-go is to slow down and continually keep moving forward at a slower pace. That way, all the cars behind me never need to stop and then go again because they also keep constantly moving forward and thus have MPG savings and save a little on brake wear.

I try to set a pace that is not too slow. I try to have my car close the gap just as the re-movement of the cars ahead reaches me. By doing this repeatedly, I cancel out a lot of the stop-and-go hysteresis problem that wastes everyone's mileage. Unfortunately, there are always a few angry people that are too close-minded to bother understanding what I am doing. They get angry and flip me off. A few times, a car behind me will get onto the hard shoulder of the freeway and then zoom up the right side shoulder and then get in front of me and brake check me hard. Their selfishness causes them to boil with anger when they see a gap and cannot easily take it for themselves. It is their fault for increasing the risk of accidents and not mine for trying to drive smart and reduce hysteresis. Certainly the community of cars on the freeway benefits from the removal of the stop-and-go hysteresis.

I saw a truck do this to a young girl in a camry, I felt so bad for her. The truck wailed his horn and flipped her off.

Some handsome kids from well-off families become arrogantly spoiled (different from simply arrogant). It's sort of like that kid in the national news who suffered from "Affluenza" syndrome. So these kids keep getting into accideents or get tickets and never really learn because they grew up believing the future will take of itself on its own and that they will always be able to sail through it especially since their inheritance is coming sooner or later to save them.

Your reading comprehension is terrible. That's not what the poster said if you read the next sentence in his/her post. That poster didn't write a bloglength post but was terse. Perhaps you misunderstood because not enough words were used. It's a balancing act writing posts that don't get gratuitous complaints of being blog length but are still able to convey meaning to careless readers that only see the surface meaning.
