9 out of 10 times, if someone is driving like an aggressive rear end in a top hat, it's going to be a pickup truck driver. my theory is that trucks are driven by uneducated men who need to compensate and feel macho, and that translates to their behavior behind the wheel. usually it's nicer, new trucks, also, not just ratty poor people trucks as you might expect.

i know the stereotype is bmw drivers, but that's wrong. someone who buys a 2014 f150 will be objectively worse.

I've driven a pickup for the last 30 years. I don't drive aggressively. I have never received a ticket. I have a bachelor's degree, two master's degrees and a teaching credential and enough extra credits that I would have a PhD if they were all in the same subject area. I must be the exception that proves the rule. And I drive it because I tend to haul stuff from time to time...

Yeah, newer F-150 drivers tend to be dicks. My dad's is a 1976. That's not too bad. He only stopped driving it 3 years ago when mom took his keys away (he has advanced Alzheimer's, and driving is probably not a good idea.)

If you own a huge, shiny, pickup truck and it's pretty apparent that you don't use, and have never used it to haul/tow things around or unless you got it for super cheap for some reason (those things are not cheap), you shouldn't own a huge, shiny, pickup truck.

If you drive a pickup either you are a farmer or construction who actually uses it which is alright by me, or an rear end in a top hat who thinks pickup trucks are cool and that risking the lives of everyone around you by being a lovely driver is also cool.

I often wonder how many people with 4 wheel drive have actually taken their vehicles offroad. I'm willing to bet the percentage is fairly low.

Theres this huge shiny pickup truck in my neighborhood with those giant wheels so it's like 15 godamn feet off the ground. Dude parks it on a road that's already too narrow for two cars to pass each other, so his truck makes even worse. rear end in a top hat.

So all of you people in flyover states who drive camaros and trucks and poo poo, maybe you can answer something for me.

What would happen in the above situation if you just did nothing? I mean, you're both at the light, and some hayseed revs his truck engine. Keeps revving it and giving you dirty looks. The light changes. You simply drive forward at a normal pace and go on with your life. Is that even possible, or are you required, by flyover-state law, to race the idiot?

I guess southern California is flyover if you're going to China or something, but yeah it's not like I feel the need to race everyone, it's more just the fact that I can beat them by letting my foot rest naturally on the peddle

sometimes when I'm at a light and I need to get over asap to make a turn, I'll juke the other dude into racing me and then when he speeds ahead I just easily change lanes

A man charged with hitting and killing two women at a South Austin bus stop in March has been indicted.
Police charged 19-year-old Erick Nuncio-Moreno with two counts of manslaughter.

Police said Nuncio-Moreno was speeding while trying to drag race another vehicle on South First Street. He then he lost control of his car and crashed into a bus stop near Emerald Wood Drive.

An affidavit said 53-year-old Maria N. Gaona De Corona and 28-year-old Adriana Morales-Catalan were killed as a "direct and immediate result of the collision."

If you live somewhere rural where mudding is a thing it's very high. Also mudding is loving stupid.

I like my truck because I can force my way into a lane nice and easy. But I generally drive it slower and more conservatively than a zippy car. I think op is confusing assholes in cars with assholes in trucks.
