Side mirrors at head-height in the bike lane

I'm 100% white trash. I own a 90s model, 4 cylinder, 5 speed pickup truck that does everything I need it to. It isn't my daily driver because it's not a fashion accessory it's a goddamn pickup truck. The ass end being light if your bed is empty makes the things harder to handle in adverse weather. Not too mention I beat the fuck out of it, using a truck as truck doesn't leave it looking pretty. What I'm saying here, is that even down in the south where I'm at, a good chick of us think these people are dipshits too

Yeti Coolers are actually the shit though. Just never buy one from a store. Just find someone who drives one of these shiny lifted trucks and offer them a reasonable price for the one they paid full price for the next time they are freaking out about being behind on their truck payment. When you buy the cooler from them, if you want to make the world a better place, give them a box of condoms too. I'm being serious these dumbasses have the forethought of fucking goldfish. They tend to have litters and be completely surprised. The Yeti 160 that I own was bought for 40 bucks from a guy that made 12 dollars an hour, and had 5 kids (with a 6th on the way). Of all the stereotypes of these kind of people you listed I think you missed the one where they tend to fuck themselves into poverty.

Which is probably why I sound so mean about this. I don't care what someone spends there money on. If driving a lifted truck makes you happy, you do you as long as you can actually drive the thing without being a nuisance to others. But it's an entirely different story to watch a grown man spend so much money to play redneck cosplay while simultaneously pumping out kids left and right that they can't afford to give a decent life too. I'm sick of meeting people who drive these expensive cock replacements, wear overpriced fashionable camo everywhere, and blow any decent sum of money they luck into on weapons they don't even understand how to maintain, only to find out they have 6 kids and are renting a 2 bedroom trailer. So fucking frustrating to see.

This is fucking gold, could be a copypasta or new meme format.

Proof that the real joke is in the comments 👆

Jesus Christ, this is almost my brother.

The temptation to mirror tint my rear windshield goes up every time I drive at night

More often than not you can blame the auto industry for this. People want to migrate to LED lights for longevity reasons but the industry has no interest in OEM support for models that have already been produced, especially in the realm of upgrading/mods, so you end up with people dropping in cheap ebay replacements that have been developed without any consideration to the concentration of the beam or the design of the lens. If there was some level of first party support even to just the bare minimum of "here's how you should do it and here's the components to buy" you'd see a lot less of these issues since it's likely not the brightness of the bulb that's the issue but the way the lenses and housing were designed. In addition LED lighting has become so cheap it should be the complete default for every model but instead OEMs have decided to use it as a bargaining chip for higher trim packages.

So many people driving with their brights on in the city these days. It's infuriating.

Oh! A dashed line is approaching...I'm just gonna go 20 under now...

The moment one of these guys decides that my ass is a nice place to park his dick, I'm turning off cruise control until they back off. If they genuinely need past me, they can pass me. If they just want to smell my farts, they can smell em slowly.

Heh someone in a Tesla was blinding me from behind and tailgating so I moved both side mirrors and the rear view to aim them straight back. He passed around me over the double yellow line. With him now in front of me and in traffic I just flipped my high beams on and chuckled to myself until he eventually turned off and I put my headlights back to normal :)

This does absolutely nothing beyond making you feel better, just FYI.

That's what I do as well.

I don't think i could aim them that well. Do they back off?

Hey no we BMW sedan drivers are victims too. We sit lower to the ground than most cars and unfortunately especially the ride height of pavement princess lifted pickups with giant bright LED headlights aligned to attempt to illuminate the stratosphere rather than directly in front of them like they’re supposed to. When the fuckers are behind me many models have headlights at the level of my rear window and side mirrors which is a problem when pickup drivers insist on riding ass all the goddamned time and even at red lights like common why do you like my exhaust smell that much? Matter of fact maybe that’s it, my car’s almost 100k miles a decade old running with a turbo tune and some mixed in high octane race fuel sometimes so the catalytic converter put in its two weeks and now those chemicals are nostalgic to the pickup truck drivers since their stupidity must be at least partially attributed to chemicals otherwise it’s near inhuman

Funny how everyone just seems to assume that people are in the left lane anytime anyone brings up shitbags tailgating.

People tailgate. They tailgate in the left lane. The right lane. The turning lane, the parking lot, fuck they probably tailgate in driveways.

There is no excuse for it. Whether or not you want to go faster than the person in front of you or not. It is dangerous and selfish under all circumstances.

Only if you aren't passing people. If you're in the left lane and passing those on the right, you have no obligation to move over just because someone behind you wants to go faster.

This all assumes there isn't significant congestion causing all lanes to be mere travel lanes below the speed limit.

Not all roads have left lanes

I definitely feel you on those people that insist on floating in the left lane for miles and miles, though this is a really peculiar context to relate in. You'd ostensibly be getting over for the lighted asshole, and this comment section isn't about to do anything kind for the asshole.
