Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.
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.
Doesn't help the 1.5C that's for sure.
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.
Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.
Welcome to my new segment, You Might Want to Know?
Dodge and Ram are two different brands and product lines. Rams are the trucks, and Dodge makes muscle vehicles.
But as to your point, you're more right than you possibly know!
I always assume they will tailgate me, and so far, I’ve never been wrong.
100x if it's squat... Squated?
Or white paint
I think it’s lowered. Lifted and lowered
It’s so dumb like Fucking whhhyyyy
1000x if it has truck nuts
Squote
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.
Lifted truck rolling coal is 100% an asshole.
(EU) SUVs. Are you insecure and too stupid to drive? GET A CAR 20% larger in every dimension so you can piss off the whole world with your incompetence.
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.
That's similar to why I hav an SUV. My dad has mobility issues and has a scooter to help him get around. The SUV is higher off the ground making it easier to get in and out while the larger cargo space can hold the scooter and anything else (groceries, luggage, etc).
Anything that makes VRROOOOOOM VROOOOOM noises when it doesn't need to is almost certainly driven by an asshole.
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.
NL here: Imported American trucks. You do not need a car that costs €5000/month in fuel alone that you cannot use practically in any way that a van, a regular car or even a bakfiets could do more cost-effectively. The only people who go through the effort to get such a vehicle are compensating for something, and a Dodge Ram in The Netherlands is only useful for dick measuring, and the most significant thing it'll ever move is the owner's fragile ego.
We look at those people the same in the US too tbf lol
In NL they have a lot less legitimity, there are no mountains, no huge private farms, no vast plains with subpar roads.
Yeah, they don't even fit in a regular parking space, it is ridiculous to drive one in the Netherlands
They don't fit in parking spaces here either! I'm constantly saying that they should park in the back of the parking lot
Anything with truck nuts attached
Hold up. Truck nuts on a Prius or PT Cruiser is fucking hilarious
I once saw them on a stroller.
And yes, truck nuts are objectively funny. Ironically on trucks when the driver is obviously compensating for something. And regular funny on everything else.
One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70's moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.
This is acceptable.
Generally people who do that are of a particular political affiliation. They would feel emasculated when told they have made their truck Transgender as the truck was not made with balls.
As doing this shows just how small of a micro penis they have.
Ram Trucks. according to research, these vehicles are the most likely to be driven, and wrecked, by a drunk driver. People who instinctively idolize an animal that solves it's problems by smashing them with it's face... probably not the best people to drive near.
Living in Australia where US trucks really don't go on our roads well, I can attest to Ram drivers being the most dreadful drivers here. As we've come to call it, Emotional Support Vehicles.
Among Truck drivers, Rams are usually the objectively worst vehicle for doing trucking activities on a per yearly model basis. So it kinda makes sense the dumbest people with trucks aren't the ones who know anything about truck capabilities either.
Sadly I really like how the classics look and therefore want one.
But I don't drink, at all. And I definitely don't idolize rams. That's a pretty funny generalization to make though.
- Teslas
- Really large trucks that are clearly not being used for actual work
- BMWs
- Lexuses
- Shitty little ricers that aren't fast, they're just obnoxiously loud
- Anyone with a rented box truck (like a UHaul) driving in the far left lane of the freeway.
- Cop cars
I'm surprised to see Lexus on that list.
In my experience Lexus is more deserving than Tesla. Most Lexus drivers I come across on the road follow the laws pretty well and use a signal, but the people I've met in person who drove them were assholes. Opposite has been the case with Tesla drivers for me and the pic says assholes and doesn't specify their driving ability.
Ricer ay?
Seems to me that Jeep Cherokee drivers think they own the road
Oversized trucks and new BMWs. Every fucking time...
Tesla.
Tesla model 3 to be exact.
The iPhone of the car world.
Anyone who has a big fucking pickup truck and isn't living in a rural area
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.
Vehicles with thin blue line flags (and/or stickers of the same)
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.
Tesla's have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.
Especially with how many of them are asleep at least I'm awake Ps I drive a bmw z3
Strangely... I don't think it's the fault of the driver (well, they still picked the car)... The lane assist FSD autobraking is all fucking awful.
Next time you see one get in front of it about 100 yards ahead and tap the brakes... Don't brake, just flash the tail lights... The Tesla will slow down every time.
They're terrible cars for terrible people I guess.
BMW. Eveytime. No blinker use either.
The BMW drivers have chilled out a little... It's the audi driver these days that are complete tools.
This. Audi is the new BMW.
They have blinkers ?!?
Only if you pay for the subscription fees.
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.
Pretty sure they just removed turn signals on cars where I live. Super expensive car being driven by someone who has no clue, can't guage speeds, can't guage other traffic and can't figure out when to use turn signals.
Cops do not do traffic infraction stops here whatsoever, and I'm pretty convinced many of the drivers here don't even have a license. There is no way they could ha e passed the written test.
BMWs, all the time
Agreed... They will never let you in, never set their indicators... Nightmarish, ignorant drivers...
BMWs and blinkers are mutually exclusive.
If it has a punisher sticker it's an asshole
-
Any truck so big they can't see kids crossing the road or has to put a front tire on the side walk to not be in the street.
-
Any large truck with double wide wheels or a truckbed as clean as the day it was made.
Edit: Also a police car. I missed that the first time around.
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.
And plenty of people say they have a truck for work and it's largely empty except tools in a bed box which could be done with smaller more economical vehicles. Honestly jobs where a truck would be needed should provide the truck so there's fewer in the road.
-
Big ass lifted trucks with the double back wheels my god. I feel so embarrassed for them
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.
Tesla.
For many people the answer should be "my vehicle".
Everyone thinks they are an above average driver.
Except Rainman, that guy thought he was excellent.
Oooh, this is totally me!
Any truck but Dodge Ram in particular.
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.
Easily a Tesla. Any model.
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.
You never see their windows down because they don't want to let their farts out.
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.
I mean the only people who could have realistically afforded a Tesla before the Model 3 was the same people who would have gotten Lexuses or BMWs and the only people who get them now are Muskets.
I mean yesterday I saw one use its turn signal and everything.
Agreed. Teslas are just giant Elon Musk flags now. One big L for environmentalism, I suppose? lol
Any recent Tesla model.
Omg there so ugly. Like driving a giant sperm.
That, and who the h3ll wants to give the idiot Elon any money after the way he's acting? And then the quality issues... steering wheels falling off, I mean, good grief.
Anything that looks like it just pulled off the battlefield. Like G Wagons and Hummers.
I've never seen a dirty G Wagon or Hummer, so I'm not sure what you're taking about.
I should have said looks like it was made for the battlefield.
Dodge Ram
Ford F250 or larger
I would say F150 or larger unless it is has a company logo on it.
Yeah...Pretty much. That and giant pickup trucks.
This may just be confirmation bias but it seems like the majority of cars that pull out in front of me forcing me to break when they could have just waited 2 seconds for me to pass seem to be pickup trucks. Bonus points with last weeks one to do that which was also 1) driven by an elderly couple 2) swerveing all over the road, 3) driving 5 miles below speed limit, 4) had unsecured items in the back.
They do make mini-trucks which are much better for fuel mileage while having the benefits of a work truck, but like you said these people aren't buying them with fuel mileage or practicality in mind.
Tell me you live in Florida without telling me you live in Florida. If you don't, you sure know their drivers.
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 🙃
Oversized SUV, like Range Rover
Definitely all range rovers. Collosal pricks, every single time.
90-and-counting downvoters just can't get enough of the taste of boot
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.
Because it hasn't been answered. It's a very subjective question, so there is no final answer.
I get that cops are seen as corrupt pigs in some countries, but in some others they're trusted and respected. I have seen American police and 99% of them are awful people. But in my country I have only ever had pleasant experiences with the police, and public opinion of them is mostly positive. (Was speeding, got pulled over, told to drive safely and that the cop could see I'm not drunk and was being aware, then wished good night and let go.)
My answer will be anyone driving a modified exhaust and/or riced up car. Typically a tailgating boy racer.
How was no one said Dodge challenger / charger yet?
Same thing where I am (CHP)...
Honestly though, they exhibit the worst driving 'skills'/behaviour. Definitely not leading by example.
Aside cop cars (and we have like 4 different departments of cops, one worse than the other) the worse of all are cars/motorcycles that produce satanic 100+decibel sounds, literally they should be illegal.
In Germany every asshole drives an BMW, but not every BMW driver is an asshole. It's a German brand so they much cheaper than in America because there are no import costs. Yes, they still are substantially more expensive than a VW but there are much more a car every other German drives than something special. If we only talk about the higher end models - sure.
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.
Still enjoying my A7 after your post 😚
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.
I'm surprised this isn't listed yet: Hummer
I think the hate for Hummers has died down simply because you just don't see them around very often anymore.
Teslas 😼
Teslas, for sure. And Subaru drivers aren't necessarily assholes, but they seem to always be in my way.
Subaru drivers, especially the SUVs almost follow the rules of the road TOO well, and also take 6 seconds to accelerate at a light for some reason.
6 seconds is a bit too much, but waiting for a second to three is fine, incase some guy is running through the red light.
I've been tboned before in the exact scenario and everytime Im the first car, id rather wait a second to go after making sure the intersection is clear.
I do recall seeing a car that stopped at green lights and started going on red lights I think he was driving a suv
Dodge Ram
Jeeps and dodge pickups
Rubicons especially
Ford Mustang. Literally never been near one on the road that wasn't revving the engine, tailgating people, and driving like a maniac.
Teslas, Pickup trucks, SUVs
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.
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. "
How can one gain your level of awareness?
Seriously tho in the US you gotta always assume the cop is trigger happy because if you don't your ass is gonna get turned into lead flavored swiss cheese.
Any one using a light bar or super bright off road lights on the road. They obviously don't care about others. I know you want a car model but every time I see this I wish a cop would/ could take action.
A big, black, clean truck.
What, i love Big Black Car in my rear... view mirror
Anything Lexus. Mostly luxury brand SUV (Lexus, Cadillac, BmW, those trying to be cool Denali shit). Sprinkle in some "modified" diesel trucks and we have a party.
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!
BMW
Pickup trucks, SUVs and motorcycles.
As well as cars with loud mufflers.
Im old fashioned but i still think only dicks drive bmw's
I'm only up voting you for your user name.
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
VW Golf GTI
(in Germany)
Well in the UK it's BMW and Audi drivers
Don't forget Land Rovers, excluding obvious farm beaten Defenders.
In Australia it's ute (pickup) drivers. If it's a faded mustard colour it's an ancient farmer driving 30 km/h below the speed limit in a no-overtaking area. If it's bright red it's the farmer's grandchild driving at 30 km/h above the speed limit as he* overtakes you in a no-overtaking area.
*It's always a he.
Feel like BMW’s always drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit in an inexplicably infuriating way
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.
Everything in this thread and the question is verrry subjective 😂
Tesla, Hummer, any huge truck.
Nissan Altima
With paper plates.
Doesnt matter, anyone can be an asshole
Ford Mustangs for me
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.
Just sent this to my cop friend. A little burnt, he did find it funny.
Porsche Cayenne
- tow trucks
- pickup trucks with nothing in the bed
- sedans/SUVs that only upper class can afford
White Vans
Modded exhaust, for the pampered teenager who lives their life a quarter mile at a time.
cars with PA license plates
I feel attacked
the real answer is always oppressor mk2
Audi
Apparently I'm an asshole.
Edit: no I'm not a cop LOL
Are you a cop?
You got that right 🐷
BMW
Midsized Audi sedans. These always seem to be following me too close.
Giant white SUV.
Not sure why but people in VW Atlas' always seem to drive like assholes.
Mine.
I was gonna say Altima, bu Police car is pretty spot on.
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
Source, I have one
Tesla...
Tesla Nissan Altima Anything w/ modded exhaust Excursions/Expedition/Armadas Anything with political bumper stickers
Any vehicle with the gold trim detailing. Always an asshole.
Tesla
In Thailand the list consists of:
- Toyota Fortuner
- Ford Ranger
- "All New" Isuzu D-Max (LPT: If you are here and pick up a girl and her profile says แม่น้องออนิว "Ornew's Mom" or that kind of shit, GTFO!)
- Any MG
- Ora Good Cat
- Basically any other GWM/Chinese EV
- Police plate or Army plate cars (the plate has a police shield emblem or army chakra emblem).
- Any car that has วัดท่าไม้ sticker (probably from a temple known for asshole patrons).
- Any car that has คณะเรา sticker (surely the driver is an alum at a specific school known for its extremely tight knit alum system and they are willing to use their status or connections unlawfully to get out of trouble).
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 .
All cops are bastards
Barbecue their dicks
Barbecue their dicks
All cops are bastards
Roast their penises yeah
Yeah yeah yeah!
Wasn't expecting to see any Terrorgruppe here, but I'm always down with some short music for short people.
This is the most accurate thing I’ve read all week
Yes! I think the original response is the most accurate.
A rusted dodge Durango. I'm not saying all owners of this vehicle are assholes, but a lot of assholes drive this car.
Boy I just assumed someone else or many people would have said this already and I would just comment on their comment agreeing but around where im from 100% Lexus is the car choice of the american asshole.
Maybe it's just my area but if I see a 350z it's straight piped and being driven like they learned in GTA
Taxi
my car
2edgy4me
Ram.
Ford Flex drivers seem unaware that other people use the road
Usually a Prius but I'm also convinced that the speedometer in a Prius says it's going at least 10 mph faster than they are actually traveling.
Tailgating, shouting, honking and giving the middle finger is usually a good giveaway. When it comes to the type or brand of vehicle it's impossible to say because each is driven by an individual.
Wait till they start giving cops Teslas. Double whammy assholery in the streets.
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.
Toyota Prius, in the fast lane, going up a grade…
20+ years old riced Honda Civic.
A mothertr*cking Green Sabre
Would have said BMW until I bought one (don't judge me, my wife has a neck problem and it has transformed her life).
Now I will say Peugeot because it has no redeeming feature, but is still not cheap. Clearly bought by someone with money, but who has no idea what they are doing.
Ha
Lexus cars. Every time some terrible driving is happening around me, it is one of them. I literally cannot count how many times I've almost been hit by one of them not stop at streetlights or stop signs or not slowing down for the pedestrian (me!) in the crosswalk. That commercial where the lexus driver drives over the man's papers just solidified what sort of asshole drives those cars.
A shitty old Saturn
Mind you tell me what is your car?
Any German car.
The entire german nation: :(
I didn't see it mentioned so I'll say it: Smart. Where I live, they behave like they are riding a bicycle.
OP's mom's car for sure.
Honestly, one of the nicest guys I have ever known is a retired copper.
He joined up in the 60s as a smelly hippy (his words) to "bring the system down from the inside". Very quickly discovered he could change peoples' lives for the better and retired 45 years later having considered his career a success.
He estimated that 4/5 were like him, but the rest are tossers (again, his words).
Cars and trucks parked backwards in parking spots.
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.
Yeah and you actually get the vehicle straight and centre of the spot
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.
Backing in is safer because you have better visibility at the critical moment when you need to block another lane while backing up.
You can see both sides on the mirrors so it's almost impossible to hit the cars next to you and it's very unlikely there's someone standing behind you on the parking space.
Fender benders on a grocery store parking lot when backing out is probably the most common type of road accident.
This thread is fucking cringe. Get over yourselves.
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!
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.
I live in an area with a lot of paved bike trails.... made specifically for bikes, walkers, and joggers to have a SAFE place away for automobile traffic to enjoy their outdoor activity. Also there are bike lanes along side many main roads. The issue is the asshole that isn't using the provided bike lane and intentionally blocking the main automobile lane while weaving unpredictably thereby making it unsafe to pass.
Driving down the road and a farmer on a tractor pulls out with a trailer loaded down with hay going 5 mph.... that's an annoyance but he's got work to do and NEEDS to get where he's going.... sucks to be caught behind him but whatever he's gonna get off the road eventually.
An asshole on a bike unnecessarily whipping over in front of a line of cars for no reason other than to be an asshole.... that's not acceptable behavior that's a self important entitled asshole. Blocking traffic for LOLs is a dangerous game to play.
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.
That's where the problem lies..... in that particular area the bike lane is plenty wide enough for two bikes to ride side by side and the main roadway, in both directions, is plenty wide enough to not crowd the bike lane. No reason whatsoever for her to move out of the unencumbered bike lane and block the automobile lane which forced everyone attempting to overtake into the oncoming lane. It WASN'T a no passing double line so it was a safe place to take the oncoming traffic lane if it is empty of traffic. She was clearly playing stupid games. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes or fuck around and find out both apply and if she keeps up with that type of action then most certainly some day she will find out what winning a prize is all about. Of course the automobile driver will be the one at fault for driving in the main traffic lane and not avoiding the asshole on a bike.
What's the assumption here? Am assumption means there are insufficient known facts to assert the truth.
Sweeping generalizations and stereotyping is juvenile, small minded and very much a part of the problem.
