I am a young stud but I am stuck driving a non-sexy car right now. I always get a mood lift when I start to get jealous at sports cars on the road and I see the driver and it's something out of goon.jpg.

Every muscle car in my area is an automatic with some young money mid-late 20s dude in it and every Corvette is a 60 yr old dude and the worst thing of all, all the big pickups that speed around on the road have a totally pristine bed and theres no dirt or scratches anywhere

Is blinker usage at an all time low? Or has no one ever given a gently caress about blinkers?

Every time I notice someone tailgating me on my drive to work through the snotty suburbs it will always ALWAYS be some soccer mom in a loving shiny silver SUV. Every. loving. Time. Screw you bitch. I am not going any faster on a road with parked cars on both sides, kids getting out and crossing the road without looking, people opening car doors etc. I once slowed at the roundabout that's always got a huge queue to let like one guy through on my right (australia is give way to right on roundabout) because they'd been stuck there a while and the cow behind me honked because HOW DARE I INCONVENIENCE HER FOR TEN SECONDS! Bitch. I've been a driver for like ten days and I already hate everyone else on the road. Fortunately I do know I suck because I drive slow as molasses, sorry. It's only the suburbs. gently caress em. If they didn't tailgate or blow through intersections without looking I wouldn't be so loving cautious. Also our license involves a theory test, 10-20 hours of lessons then a on road test for 15 minutes THEN you have to log 50 hours of driving (120 in Vic haha suckas) then another on road test for 40 minutes. Cost me more than my car in lessons.

turdriver posted:hope u get ran down by a road train and its many wheels smash ur skull into pulp More than likely given our logging industry it will be the logs that crush me rather than the wheels as it tips over while passing the grandma doing 80 in an 80 zone instead of the 120 it wants to do. Then the logs will crash down the hillside and wipe out a few houses hopefully with people in them so it makes the headlines and blocks the highway for loving days. I'd hate to go out boringly.

redshirt posted:GET OFF THE ROAD ROOKIE! Lol seriously I do that. If there's no passing lane, even if I'm doing the limit, I'll pull over and let ppl pass. It's no skin off my back that they wanna speed - I'd rather they do that way off in the distance than right up my rear end. Sadly it's a necessity because P-platers (novice) drivers here aren't allowed to do more than 80 even when there's 110 limit. I pulled over a shittonne driving in the country even on roads where the limit was 60 and nobody sane would go more than that - I still let em pass at the first chance to pull over, it's easier than having to worry about them.

Good post. My road rage is subsiding. Just remember these words, rook: Go with the flow. Unless that flow is slow as poo poo, then pass everyone.

ArbitraryC posted:Keep in mind for a lot of places the law is when you're holding up x number of cars on a 2 lane you're supposed to pull into the shoulder and let them pass. People who drive slower than the flow of traffic (regardless of what the actual speed limit is) are demonstrably and quantifiably more dangerous than people driving at the flow of traffic or a couple miles faster. Telling yourself "I'm going the speed limit!" might make it feel more justified but there's been several studies that people who pull that poo poo cause way more accidents than the dudes who go 5 over. A couple states (like my own) are actually starting to crack down and ticket people who drive slow in the fast lane because empirical evidence has shown they're way more of a nuisance than the guy doing 70 on a 60. You're a rolling obstacle only because, as previously noted, everyone around you is an impatient rear end who can't chill out and obey the rules of the road. The chill driver isn't causing accidents, it's the childlike need of others to get to their destination 2 minutes sooner that does. (I agree that highway speed limits should be higher)

Seriously, if you, as the driver on a one or two lane road observe this: No cars in front of you; Lots of cars in back of you; You might be driving too slow.

Meh, that's pretty much just "idiot on motorbike crashes into poo poo" and "idiot in car doesn't see motorbike". Not nearly as exciting as Russian dashcams, which are either "Dude drinks vodka until he goes blind and then drives his Lada the wrong way down the highway in reverse" or drag-racing truckers in overloaded Soviet-era deathtraps with no brakes obliterating cars in the oncoming lane. Tuxedo Gin posted:there are no drivers worse than audi drivers. I find around here that for dickishness, it's Audi, then BMW, then it's a toss-up between Mercedes and Lexus. For being slow/distracted/generally oblivious, it's Camrys of any vintage, then minivans, then CR-Vs, PT Cruisers, and pretty much any import economy sedan that's between eight and fifteen years old. School Nickname posted:...Dumb-as-gently caress behaviours like bombing it 80+ kph on a windy road that can barely fit a car and a truck - hedgerows blocking visibility on both sides... I spent a couple weeks driving around southeast Ireland a few years ago and saw quite a few winding, hilly ten foot wide two-way roads with nothing but hedges and rock walls directly on the side of the road, and many of them had 80+KPH speed limits.  In the US, any road like that with a posted limit would be 25MPH (40KPH) limit at best. Even the secondary N roads around there were remarkably narrow along many stretches, and almost never had shoulders. I will say that the drivers I encountered in Ireland were remarkably patient with my slow American tourist rear end, though; none of the poor folks who got stuck behind me ever tailgated or honked or tried to pass in dangerous spots or anything, they just followed along calmly until I got to the next pull-off and moved over for 'em. If you tried driving at half the speed limit here in Atlanta, you'd last maybe five minutes before someone either punted you off the road or shot you.

I drive this back mother fucka road that's posted 45 but some of the curves and dips and dips with curves are truly 25-30 MPH territory if you want to do it reasonably safely. Fun road - better to drive at night so you can see headlights further ahead.

I decided to play around with a car in front of me at a light that had a bunch of libertarian and john galt/ayn rand bumper stickers and try to beat them at their own game (objectivist philosophy applied to driving in Massachusetts) by maneuvering my way in front of them on a 40mph four lane non-divided highway w/ traffic lights in moderate traffic. they didnt offer much of a challenge and i was in front of them by a few cars within about a minute and a half and then they got caught at a light. five minutes later down the same road the same car comes up from behind in the left lane casually going 5mph faster than me as i was about to turn off the road, and on they went. turdriver posted:does this look bland or gay buddy??? i drove one (a 95M to be exact, or a purple miata in laymans terms) as a commuter when i was in college, it was really a super good fun time trying out being gay for a little while. unfortunately being gay wasnt nearly as cool back then as it is nowadays.

Maybe in the 12 yrs since I was there they've put up better barriers, widened the roads or made new less suicidal ones? At one point we could look out the passenger windows and see DOWN, not out, but DOWN the entire cliffside at the rocks below. Could be a lot worse I guess.

"Going with the flow" (ie. speeding) is really stupid if you don't live in a jurisdiction with some kind of flow of traffic rule. If you speed and get into some kind of accident, prepare to get loving REAMED. Also driving at anywhere near the maximum speed limit on some country roads in Australia is really loving stupid and that Tamba guy is right for letting dudes pass. Driving on backroads at sunrise, nightime or dusk can be really scary because of kangaroos and you have to be a loving idiot to drive at the speed limit, let alone above it. If you see a guy driving at 110 km/h and it's just getting dark you can rest assured that they are a moron
