Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.
They’re in Canada, too.
Not one of our best exports
We breed our own here, too, unfortunately
Lifted trucks. My assurance goes up 10x if they have rims and tires meant for the road.
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.
I’d say those extended cab pickup trucks with those big smokestacks, they’re literally made that way to blow smoke in people’s faces, pollute the environment.
This and big coal rolling, loud ass trucks.
Pick up trucks I get. I’m a tradesman.
But some trucks are absolutely massive, and more often than not MUCH more than the driver needs, and the coal rolling and loudness is just obnoxious af.
Cops still take it tho. Head on a swivel for those shills.
If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it’s 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane
Any cars really, cars have the power to turn any decent human being into soulless sociopath.
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. "
Bicycle.
Yesterday while driving on a two lane road with a bike lane there were two people on bikes. What appeared to be a man and a woman in full brightly colored garb and helmets. Both were weaving in the bike lane and/or riding on the dividing line between the bike lane and the road. At one point, as a few cars were approaching them from behind, one of them whips over into the center of the road for no reason other than to block traffic thereby forcing the overtaking cars into the oncoming traffic lane. There was no obstruction on the bike lane. The other rider proceeded with weaving about unpredictably. She simply couldn’t stand the idea of someone safely passing them and forced an unsafe condition for everyone involved…
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.
I pray that every bike she every rides has a slow leak in both tires no matter how often it is patched or replaced. The more time she spends off the road pumping up the tires, the less time she is endangering herself and others.
Rarely is someone on a bicycle and not an asshole!
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.
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.
