Bad drivers

You know what kills me, is that truck probably has HD back up camera if not 360 cameras and probably some type of parking sonar as well so how do you even manage that?

Or is he one of those idiots who doesn’t bother looking into the camera because he can’t trust it as much as the mirrors he has adjusted to look down at the curb.

 

Is it me or are Tesla drivers the worst on the roads??

 

What?

 

How does this topic fit in the new members forum??

 

Quiet, can't you see we're all shitposting?

 

It's not Tacomas standing out like full-sized RAM and GM, but the security system cameras and incidents in our chain of grocery stores sure have a lot of pickup truck drivers who stand out for poor behavior.

As a 4th gen driver I sometimes get poor behavior from 3 generation drivers that's kind of ridiculous - tailgating, racing to and from stoplights, cutting ahead at ramps. Beyond the risk from poor behavior it's silly. Before I traded 2015 for 2024 I didn't feel the hate or jealousy.

 

If I have to pick just one, phone users. Infuriates me..my wife was unable to drive or work almost a year because of someone on their phone and they could have cared less, was more upset about having to wait for the police to arrive.

 

I hope she called the police for that incident, if nothing else for the other driver's safety plus the rest of us. His admitting said facts is all the more reason I say that.

 

Sorry Clearwater. I'm literally a new member so it felt ok to put it out there. I'm trainable,I can always do better

 

Please be patient, stupid driver.

 

Left lane right lane, you are in the left lane and someone pulls from a drive way or intersection into the right lane.

 

Those stickers are only opinions, those opinions look insured.

 

I like someone flying by me at a high rate of speed only to have them take a left less than a mile down the road. Makes sense if you think about it I suppose

 

I've had business and personal experience push or have me pursue actual stats for what the worst drivers are driving. There is correlation but more broadly it is vehicle type. Any Tesla blame has to be shared with other luxury and exclusive brands and models. For that category aggressive and risky driving stands out.

Pickups have a strong correlation with problems where I read more fatal crashes per mile is associated with speeding and road rage. What I read there didn't mention Tacomas but did mention the full size models that stand out at my work sites.

Work vehicles correlations are present and that is tied to impatience.

There are regional and demographics matters. Near our main home only 3 of many pickups are work oriented and they don't stand out like some where the ego or hobby element is apparent. Near our other home and the farming that starts 2 mi away they're mostly work vehicles.

This seems a lot more true in my past 6 weeks of a lot of travel - CyberTrucks seem to be behaving better but some of those also had Ford and Toyota stickers put across the back. Watch out for all rentals on I70 west of Denver that are often Teslas.

 

If you're the blue going straight through, I see absolutely nothing wrong with red pulling out into the open lane.

 

There are actually laws against changing lanes in an intersection so you don’t collide with traffic that’s turning right on a red, but how many people I’ve seen merge right in an intersection that I don’t go unless it’s clear in both lanes.

 

while i fully subscribe the the theory that EVERYONE will make the occasional driving error. some even will cause an accident. i dont think me witnessing a single snapshot in time qualifies me to label them a shitty driver.

serial crap drivers? has to be angry rich people. hahah...

 

I’m sure you would get on a plane with a pilot who says that he’s a great pilot 99% of the time.

 

What really irks me is when the people doing a U-turn don't yield to the right turn traffic
