When it rains here, people drive like they should in the snow and ice. When it snows, they drive like the road is dry.

I got tailgated during a snow storm yesterday. I gave them the bird. They didn't like it much.

But I never even looked over at them.

When it rains here people love to turn on there hazards. I remember one time I was with my dad on the highway and he's like "watch everyone else" he flipped on the hazards and drove for a couple minutes and sure enough they copied it and he turned his off and it was funny.

apparently if you drive for Walmart you have to blow the air horn every 10 seconds that you're backing up.

It's common here now. Could have been dark for hours and still at least two cars are driving with no lights. Annoys me to no end. I think we are making cars smarter, but making drivers dumber because of it.

I get that all the time when I'm heading home from work, I agree that drivers are getting way too used to the gadgets to help them.
At work we have a whole bunch of trucks with rear view cameras and people still hit stuff backing up.
Last week my mother hit a stop sign backing from a parking spot and she has a camera and sensors.

Yeah that rear view camera **** is dumb. I mean it's not a bad idea but damn people can't even parallel park. So now everyone will focus on looking at the screen and not the front end of their car. Same thing with tire pressure sensor I think that it's not a bad idea but is it really that hard to walk around your car once and look down at your tires lol.

People think an oversized vehicle will save them in their lack of driving skill, but recent tests show that modern SUV's are no safer than a car.

Tire sensors are only reasonable for a big towing vehicle, or a race car. Otherwise, they are useless to the average driver.

Just had a guy come off a yield ramp try to get into my lane and I was already going 70 in my rig. Plus he has to yield anyways but was heated and got next to me and flipped me off

How dare you! Everyone knows 50,000lbs 18-wheelers can maneuver like a go-kart and stop on a dime. I think you just need to improve your rig driving skills...... (sarcasm fully intended)

When I followed my brother back to the yard awhile ago, I was amazed at how stupid people behave around a rig. Almost every single accident involving one, 80% of the time it isn't the truck's fault.

I believe that but they always try to blame the truck...don't get me wrong there are dumb truck drivers too but people do not respect trucks. I'll have someone texting and driving next to while going around a turn lol I think that's pretty dumb. I'll be about to come out onto a main road from a street and I'll inch forward more and more and watch peoples faces that drive past me. I sware 9 out of 10 people never once looked up at me. They just aren't aware of what's going on around them

I'm so scared of people running into me when I drive. Like if someone inches out ill feel a rush of fear go over me like they're going to pull out in front of me. I don't see how people do crazy things like that.
