They're in Canada, too.
Not one of our best exports
We breed our own here, too, unfortunately
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.
The "Don't Tread On Me" flag placed by these entitled assholes is what always gets me. Bitch, no one has tread on you as much as you tread on everyone else.
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 always assume they will tailgate me, and so far, I’ve never been wrong.
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.)
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
Anything that makes VRROOOOOOM VROOOOOM noises when it doesn't need to is almost certainly driven by an asshole.
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.
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.
- 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
Oversized trucks and new BMWs. Every fucking time...
Anyone who has a big fucking pickup truck and isn't living in a rural area
Tesla's have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.
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.
huge trucks/ pickups
-
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.
Big ass lifted trucks with the double back wheels my god. I feel so embarrassed for them
Tesla.
Any truck but Dodge Ram in particular.
Ram trucks are the official vehicle of domestic abuse.
Police car drivers don't have to be assumed to be assholes they are assholes by definition.
Anything that looks like it just pulled off the battlefield. Like G Wagons and Hummers.
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.
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.
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.
