Anonymous Coward User ID: 83838380 United States 09/24/2022 06:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recently visited my sister in Wisconsin. We went on a 20 minute drive to my brother's place on one of the local highways. The speed limit was 70 and everyone was going 90. I couldn't believe it and asked my sister why she wasn't afraid of a speeding ticket. She said she had never seen anyone pulled over on that road and that everyone goes 90. She said if you don't people drive aggressively, tail gate you, and fly past you in a rage. She just goes 20 mph over the speed limit and thinks nothing of it. Crazy shit. Quoting: DakotaRose The cars now are designed for speed. 80-90 is cruising speed. My minivan goes to 160. Why even make these vehicles to go so fast? |

Hari_Seldon User ID: 81075176 United States 09/24/2022 06:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recently went on a road trip with my sister. I was driving the speed limit of 80 MPH. Everyone was driving 100 MPH on the interstate. So I put the metal to the pedal and drove 90 MPH. lol Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33781995 Same with me. I have a older car. Lexus LS 400 bought new in 2000. It seems to always want to sit on 82 mph. Wonderful road car. If I get someone passing me at 90-100 I get behind them to go along for the ride as long as it lasts. I lived in San Diego from 1998 to 2011 and drove back to Atlanta where I use to call home when I moved. I got in a good 4 hours in West Texas with the cruise on 98. I drive as fast as possible but I never tailgate and I am always expecting someone around to do something stupid. I drive back and forth from Atl to Charlotte several times a year and that is the worse stretch of highway that I have experienced. However, I hear I-95 is about the worst in the country. Surprisingly, I feel the best drivers that I have been around are the ones in SoCal. But its been 10 years since I have lived there. They drive fast but they seem to do what they can to stay out of accidents. Last Edited by Hari_Seldon on 09/24/2022 06:24 PM |

I would say that a large percentage of people who go faster than the 40mph speed limit do so with the ability to drive better than you. I know I do. Idiot, this is why there are speed limits. If a bunch of people decide to drive like you, we end up where we are now. You will learn this some day. Idiot. If you are so enamoured with speed limits, you can simply let the faster driver past and enjoy your arbitrary drive. But NO, it's never that simple for you petty tyrants must have EVERYONE honor your precious government's rules. Did you sleep through the last few years? Election stolen in front of world, courts unwilling to rectify, death jabs rolled out and made mandatory globally, evidence and statistics of Deathjabs hidden and/or falsified, and list is endless. But YOU, precious YOU, believe that a system that only ever moves to more power and control was once implementing rules for the sole purpose of making life safer and better for the individual? GTFO and GFYS, rube. You will not survive the revolution to freedom. ^^^ this is the self centered idiot we all have to suffer when we drive because "muh freedoms".

When a society no longer agrees on what is right and wrong by a large, large majority, people will begin behaving selfishly and that society is well on the way to collapse and subjubation by another more dominant society that has no disagreement on what consitutes right and wrong. |

Jeff_43 User ID: 19678828 United States 09/24/2022 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People drive fast because it separates them from the idiots that drive in groups. Some drive real slow to stay out of the moving junkyards. Either way, don’t drive in groups if you can’t help it. Quoting: Truth Be Known My biggest peeve is those that go into the passing lane around semis. Have you seen truck tires on the road? Happens all the time. And if you’re in a low car passing a semi with your cruise on going 1 mile faster than the truck, then you’re exposing yourself and those behind you to serious risk. That pisses the real drivers off that your that stupid. They’re going fast to get away from you! Lastly, when moving back to the left lane, don’t do it immediately unless you have to. Because you kick up debris on the middle line and kick it back to the car you just pulled in front of. you are mad people are passing semis in the passing lane? that doesn't make sense. the semi's drive in the right lane and you pass on the left. the real problem is people who don't get out of the passing lane. I probably didn’t state it correctly. Not mad at passing semis. Mad at taking 5 minutes to pass just one. Way too much time exposure for 1 out of 9 possibilities to explode into your windshield. When I pull out to pass a semi I floor it and am past it and back in my lane in 5 - 10 seconds at most |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84243103 Australia 09/24/2022 06:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was wondering when it would start getting more noticeable and threads like this would start emerging. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80578929 yeah. it's been going on for awhile now and most have either not noticed or chosen not to see it until it effects them directly and more than once. something is really up with people mentally and it's especially visible in the way people drive now... which is to say the least VERY VERY WEIRDLY. OMG. I don't know what happened to some of these people... (younger generations, I'm looking at you) but the basic ability to functionally and legally drive has nearly disappeared with many people. The very noticeable increase in tailgating and rage passing or passing just to get another car ahead, is just the half of it now but it's all bizarre when you start to notice it. Literally everywhere I go, every day now, there will be at least one person that will ride my ass (even if I'm going well above the posted speed limit) tailgate and like clockwork, turn and speed around me, then slow down and begin tailgating the next car and then we hit another light. And I'm like; you know RAT RACE was not meant to be taken literally right idiot?? great. you got a car ahead of me but we are now both stuck at the same light. how was that worth it? lol and then my next question to them is: It is so simple, dinosaurs. Pull over and let the faster driver pass. We ain't tolerating your petty tyranny in ANY space ANY longer. The revolution to freedom is irrepressible. |

Why are people acting so crazy behind the wheel? Maybe they don't realize they're driving wrong. Like you said, you may already be 10MPH over the speed limit and there are people still blazing past you. People don't use turn signals when changing lanes but expect you to know what they intend to do. Then there are those that drive in-between two lanes because they want to see what's going in front of the car that's in front of them, anxiety issues I take it. When it's Turn Left on Green only, the people in the oncoming side that need to turn Right have to wait for the Left turning lane to finish turning before they turn Right. When your Left light turns green and you give it gas, they also turn Right and you almost crash because you're both aiming for the same lane meanwhile the other driver wants to mean-mug you for "driving dumb". People mistake what Red Light Photo Enforced means. It's meant for you to make a Complete Stop before making your right-hand turn. What constitutes as a Complete Stop has apparently changed, before it was 3 seconds but now they want 5 seconds. However, almost everyone mistakes RLPE as No Turn On Red and will not make their right-hand turn when intersecting traffic allows. |
