Seems like they really do give a license and an '09 Altima to anyone with a pulse.

I appreciate the server adding new generated NPC's but I dont need to see three of them on each commute

[–] gravitas_deficiency 8 points 8 months ago

They really do fuck with the pathing efficiency something fierce

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I'm on my third Altima and none of these have ever applied to me. And I don't think I've ever seen an Altima driver being a dick. The people who I notice driving poorly are usually driving total shitboxes, like a pre-2000 Buick or something.

IMHO, Telsas are the new reigning champ for aggressive driving.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Teslas are 50/50 tho. Half are old BMW drivers that wanted the new status symbol and still drive like aggressive cunts. The other half are old Prius drivers who want to maximize efficiency and drive like absolute grandpa's. Altima is almost guaranteed to be aggressively driven.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Yeah i’ve noticed that too. Some crazy aggressive Tesla drivers, with the rest being SUPER slow, bad drivers that shouldnt be on the road (or at least major highways).

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It’s funny; I live in a Tesla hotspot and I actually notice slow teslas more than aggressive ones, maybe because I’m surprised they’re being so overly cautious. I guess it’s because everyone seems to have one here. Or… maybe it’s because they’re distracted. Yeah, that’s very possible…

(Full disclosure: I also drive one.)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Same. I'm in the PNW and almost everyone here drives like a snail that is stoned on weed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Ha ha ha they're not being overly cautious, it's just their overpriced car flat out lied to them about its remaining range 😂

Just waiting for that fucker to get his balls felt in the EU lol

Conversely, driving a Tesla also makes you a target for aggressive driving. The number of people who feel threatened by EVs is astonishing and many are not afraid to let you know about it via cutting you off, tailgating you, or refusing to let you merge.

I drive a Chevy Bolt for work and RAM drivers routinely roll coal on me.

I like to cut off Teslas in particular because they have extra safe following features.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I used to drive a Prius, and unlike most Prius drivers, I would go 80+ often. Any time you pass someone, they then take it as an affront to their masculinity and need to pass you. I've gone by someone driving 75 while going 80, only to have that same person freak out, and speed up to rip past at 90+. It's wild.

IME in Van City, Tesla drivers seem to expect their cameras to see cyclists for them when turning right rather than actually bothering to look.

Same sitch out on the island...

Watch any modern dash cam video compilation. 90% of the time someone doing a full idiot move is in a newer Nissan, or a Hyundai.... honorable runner-up mentions go to basically any pickup truck with more than 2" of lift on the stock suspension

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey now, some of those Honda Civics are a menace too!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

(Granted it's an Accord not a Civic, but yknow...)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (2 children)

BMW: 40 in town, 90 on the expressway, 80 on the twisty roads, 70 on the on ramps.

Nissan: 60 in town, 100 on the expressway, 40 on the twisty roads, 12 on the on ramps.

Usually has a massive damage to it, mirror hanging on with packing tape, and all windows blacked out.

[–] SpeakinTelnet 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Look, I'm not saying that this meme shows a pickup truck for a reason but yeah, pickup trucks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I may be wrong, since I've never actually seen the movie, but I initially thought it was from Duel.

[–] SpeakinTelnet 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Really looks like the truck from jeepers creepers.

Edit: yup, Jeepers Creepers

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I must have confused the two. Thanks for the clarification!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

That first one still gets me sometimes, but it turns out the real monster was the Hollywood sexual predator complex.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

We all develop our little pet road hatreds.

My cousin's are minivans. Mine are still BMWs, so I guess I'm a basic bitch.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In my area, it's the people driving the shittiest cars that wanna go the fastest.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

In my area shitty goes fast, but high end luxury tailgates.

It's still Audis and BMWs in my part of the world. I'm adding Teslas to the list too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Here in my region of Germany Audis are slowly replaced by Teslas. It changed that much that I even might consider buying an Audi in future, which was unthinkable since every second Audi driver was a PITA for years.

I was interested in buying a Model 3. But all former Audi drivers in their Model Ys changed my mind. Oh and also Elon happened…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I would never buy a tesla because Musk became such an asshat. If I had one I'd sell it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It’s Kia’s if you ask me

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sick of seeing that stupid new KN looking logo in my rear view.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Sick of seeing the Nine Inch Nails logo in my rear view.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

That was my first thought back when it was changed and I still can't recogbize the car brand because all I think is NIN.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Sick of seeing the Killer Instinct logo in my rear view.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

In my area Kia drivers are also generally bad, but more in the "drive 20 under the speed limit for no reason while dragging a traffic cone that they've hit ten minutes back" category.

It's Jeep Grand Cherokees in the Detroit Metro area. Most aggressive drivers I've ever dealt with and I'm from the Atlanta metro area.

[–] pugsnroses77 3 points 8 months ago

yuppp came to say this. hideous cars

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Here in the south it's Dodge Rams.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Me, approaching the Nissan at 140: move bitch!

They've got places to be and behind you isn't one of them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It's Nissans in general! I swear they must be one of the highest hp/dollar cars on the road or something for economy cars, and everyone drives them like they stole them!
