They're in Canada, too.

Yeah, these are often the people that grumble about women having rights while they crush beer cans in their heads. The supreme assholes are the ones driving $50k+ vehicles with a little black and white flag with a blue stripe. These are the creepy ass country club motherfuckers that own businesses and have racist agendas that actually affect people due to their high status in society.

Yeah, I'm generalizing a lot here (aren't we all?) but by and large those are dog whistle symbols for hatred.

I'm conflicted by this because the other day, I saw one of these with LGBTQ+ flags and not the typical American, Mexican, Rattlesnake or Trump 2024 flags.

Still, it was on a giant truck clearly not for working on a farm or hauling anything but ass and those giant flags are obnoxious no matter what they are signalling.

Anyone with a truck that doesn't own a farm or is a contractor.

My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can't fit in my wife's sedan.

I'm a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y'know?

My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he's like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said "if she's gonna ride a bike in the street, she's gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn't see me"

TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.

I always assume they will tailgate me, and so far, I’ve never been wrong.

100x if it's squat... Squated?

truck nutz. like. not new (which might be a gag. I did zip tie some onto a friends car once. But, uh, it was a prius, and they were dragging on the gorund.)

Extra points if the have wheel spacers

Only exception is the older Rangers S10s etc that weren’t insanely large. Anything Dodge in my experience is guaranteed.

agreed

I also assume they are absolutely God awful drivers.

I live in a Dutch city and there's like 3 people here with dumbass cars like dode rams and everytime I see them the only thing I can think is damn you are an asshole. Those cars are ridiculous

Totally true, I always thought that would be the case but there really are studies that confirm this.

Where I live an SUV is a must or everybody will bully you in the road. Public transportation drivers are just bad people here.

Or do you have a genuine reason that makes them advantageous?

I have an SUV because:

• my mother in law has mobility issues and struggles to get in/out of a saloon.
• my wife has neck issues and the higher driving position is better for her
• I like it (ok, that could make me an arsehole)

Truth is that mine (BMW X1) is at most 5cm bigger in any dimension, if at all, than the car on which it is based (Mini Cooper). The extra size is an optical illusion.

Ehh, or someone that can't afford to fix their exhaust (been there)

Idiots on motorcycles who rev in neighborhoods and parking lots are some of the biggest assholes.

Yes the giant ‘mufflers’ were bad enough, lately I’m seeing & hearing poorly tuned expensive sports cars. Mass incompetence or intentional noise maker? These thing are backfiring like crazy.

We look at those people the same in the US too tbf lol

Yeah, they don't even fit in a regular parking space, it is ridiculous to drive one in the Netherlands

I'm surprised to see Lexus on that list.

Seems to me that Jeep Cherokee drivers think they own the road

Ricer ay?

Tesla model 3 to be exact.

and probably a white pickup at that

Most will never see a speck of dirt in their entire lifetime or haul anything more than groceries. Pavement princesses.

I'd like to believe my Honda Ridgeline is the exception to this, but truck bros don't acknowledge it as a real truck anyway.

The BMW drivers have chilled out a little... It's the audi driver these days that are complete tools.

They have blinkers ?!?

If you ever think you are doing a worthless job ... think about the poor guy who installs the blinkers in a BMW factory.

They don't pay the subscription fee.

That would be my first choice. Same experience.

Agreed... They will never let you in, never set their indicators... Nightmarish, ignorant drivers...

There are plenty of people who have trucks for work. But i live in texas. The shitheads are the ones you can tell are the ones with a clean truck. Never seen dirt or any tools/machinery.

Preach, I call them "birthing hip trucks" lol

They're so hilarious. The dual rear wheels increase the weight capacity for hauling... Then they jack the truck up, reducing the weight capacity.

We have a truck with dual rear wheels and a flat bed. It lives in the yard and is only driven when we or a neighbor needs to move something big, as it should be.

Everyone thinks they are an above average driver.

Ram trucks are the official vehicle of domestic abuse.

I play games online with a guy from Norway and he was telling me somebody from his town had an imported Dodge Ram.

And I said let me guess - he revs the engine at stop lights, spins out of every single parking lot, and roars through town like a maniac. "How did you know?" They all drive that way! I guess even in Norway they do. I think maybe they get a manual with the vehicle.

I'll give someone with an early model the benefit of the doubt as they might not have realised the heights his assholeness would reach and may have been trying to do right by the environment, but newer models and I'm going to judge you.

God, this is tautogical at this point. In San Francisco, about 6 years ago, you suddenly saw Teslas beginning to do the asshole shit that BMWs were famous for.

By now, the infamous BMW drivers have been wholly replaced by Tesla drivers. I can’t remember the last time I saw a BMW do something assholish.

Agreed. Teslas are just giant Elon Musk flags now. One big L for environmentalism, I suppose? lol

I mean Tesla was one of the first normal looking battery cars and when they came out that was before musk went full blown brain dead. Really you can’t judge all of em

Omg there so ugly. Like driving a giant sperm.

I've never seen a dirty G Wagon or Hummer, so I'm not sure what you're taking about.

I would say F150 or larger unless it is has a company logo on it.

The tesla autopilot feature drives like an asshole too. If I'm in the HOV lane with no one behind me and I see a Tesla coming up in the rear view, I know that's it going to come bombing up behind me at 90 MPH and not slow down until it's like ten feet away. As someone who has been rear ended on the freeway like that, it makes my butthole pucker every time.

this is a total tangent but historically the pedal that's not your gas or clutch is a "brake" and if drivers are causing you or your car to "break" then you should definitely get their insurance details and they should go back to driving school 🙃

I'm more amused by all the people who think this is a question that someone wanted them to answer and not one that's already been answered.

Definitely all range rovers. Collosal pricks, every single time.

Same thing where I am (CHP)...

Honestly though, they exhibit the worst driving 'skills'/behaviour. Definitely not leading by example.

In the UK, BMW drivers were notorious for being the most aggressive and least polite on the roads of the 80s and 90s. In recent years Audi have stolen that crown, thanks to slick marketing and product placement. This brand attracts superficial and insecure cretins like a magnet and the ecosystem is rife with fraudulent behaviour. The used car market is a minefield of manipulated odometers and stolen vehicles.

I got upgraded from my usual generic Mercedes C-Class rental car to a BMW 5-Series on one of my trips to Germany. I instantly felt 10% more assholish as soon as I got into it. I even managed to get a speeding ticket within the first 10km or so - camera caught me going 8km/h over the limit in a construction zone, I think on the A67. The fine was only something like €20.
I usually make a conscious effort to not drive like an asshole, especially when I'm traveling, although for some countires driving like an asshole is mandatory.

This is probably two thirds of the vehicles I see in Austin... which probably has the worst drivers of any city I've lived in.

And what's more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄

To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It's a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "

How can one gain your level of awareness?

What, i love Big Black Car in my rear... view mirror

Lexus is a quality brand - it's Toyota's luxury brand. If I can't find a good price on a used toyota in my neighborhood, I can usually find a lexus for a surprisingly good price. You're sleeping on this brand!

If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it's 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane

I'm only up voting you for your user name.

Until you go around them. Then, they have to bullet ahead and prevent anyone from getting ahead of them.

Did you mean Buick? That's not my experience at all.

You have something against chubby white girls?

Indeed. Peak combination of - I love this vehicle, but I want to key this one, specifically, because it's owner deserves it.

I feel attacked

Are you a cop?

Though it might sometimes seem so especially on social media, in reality not all of us just blindly hate a person because they belong to a certain group.

You got that right 🐷

Yes! I think the original response is the most accurate.

Wasn't expecting to see any Terrorgruppe here, but I'm always down with some short music for short people.

In my country the Fortuner is quite respected .

Any Subaru not so much . The outback is used by the secret service, Any other Subaru, teenagers .

I only see the Altima thing on the internet. IME it's just a generic shitty car like a Ford and seems to drive just like anyone else on the road. I feel like any car that costs a lot of money, including pick up trucks are the ones with assholes

What bike they got going 2x the posted speed limit?

The entire german nation: :(

This must be an American thing then because Subaru are almost non existent in the UK, yet long lines of queuing traffic are common

Wait, what? Backing a truck in makes it a lot easier and safer to leave (better visibility of traffic and pedestrians). It has little to no effect on anybody else other than maybe having to wait for them to back in.

Can’t downvote this hard enough. The only spaces that should even allow pull-ins are those diagonal ones and even those kinda piss me off.

Remember the time the combat parked vehicle almost didn't see you when leaving the grocery store parking lot? Me neither.

When I drove a company van for work, they forced me to park like that. Their reasoning was it's too hard to see to back out and could lead to accidents. Which never made sense, because backing into a space has the same issue if the space is flanked by two parked cars and I can't see well enough behind me to line it up.

This is such a strange perspective. I'm not a bike rider, but never understand people's issues with bikers, joggers, or anything on the road besides cars. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but nearly every biker? That has not been even close to my experience, and I mostly see cars/trucks being unnecessarily aggressive towards bikers and runners.

For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called "taking primary".

If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.

The entire history of the internet has been one giant exchange of content back and forth. The question is valid, so are you just getting annoyed at the presentation? lmao

This sub is literally called “shitposts”

How can I change my picture so it's not an otter?
