Shut up DUMMY
People who give two car lengths or more between them and the person in front of them in major traffic and congestion at intersections are assholes, hell even one car length, move the gently caress up.

Cutting people off , especially without a turn signal, high speed, gently caress you.

Not letting people into traffic after being stopped and they are trying to get in, lil bitch. Can you tell I have a long commute?

people who leave like, 4/5ths of a car length in front of them while stopped at a stop light loving infuriate me. mostly just because I have a turn on my commute where there's two right turn lanes, where most people want the left one. I have to use the right one and at least once a week I wait an extra 5 minutes on an extra red because can't fit between them and the curb to get in to the empty right lane.

I had a friend who in highschool who would go through the motions of parallel parking in between cars that leave too much space and the car in front of them. He was an idiot but it was entertaining.

Mercedes are far worse. They consider all other road users sub-human and will happily pull out and drive right into you, while looking right at you.

That and they tend to be old.

I’d also like to shout out to all drivers of white cars - trashy people.

I like to look over at people like you in traffic. The fidgeting, yelling, and failing about never fails to bring a smile to my face. Then I wish you the peace you are so desperately seeking.

You forgot Priuses. If some dipshit is driving five under the speed limit in the left lane (a daily phenonema on my commute), nine times out of ten they're in a Prius.

I always wish I could see these in the flesh, the corniest I've seen lately was a big black and grey US flag and "Stomp on my flag, I stomp on you" underneath of it which lacks the insanity factor unfortunately

I was leaving the grocery store with my hands full of bags, going across the parking lot entrance when some older lady in an SUV was approaching to exit the lot.

Normally when you do this you stop for the people crossing. Made eye contact first, (good for safety), proceeded to walk, then she just turned her head away and gunned it about 2 feet in front of me.

I was somewhat miffed about this so gave the back of the car a little boop with the non breakable groceries. Zero chance of even scratching anything, just a "gently caress you too".

Proceeds to stop, jamming up everything, rolls down the window and shrieks "did you just hit my CARRRRR!!? It's a PARKING lot, not a WALKING LOT!!! I'm calling the POLIIIIICE"

So in conclusion something about getting behind the wheel of a car just makes people lose their loving minds and turn into animals.

I don't have access to JSTOR or anything like that and I'm not going to the library for academic articles, but you have enough info there to get you started.

That being said, please actually look at your speedometer and try and maintain a constant speed. Use cruise control if you're on the road by yourself. Your Honda Civic can make it up the hill faster than 40mph. I can see your giant digital speedometer from my car. :argh:

It's incredible how there can be no cars 1/2 mile in either direction and I come across two cars with the second one following a car length away alternating between gas and brake.

this isn't 2007 anymore, not true at all. prius's here in the bay area loving haul rear end well above speed limits, and in part because uber drivers and the like love used priuses. prius drivers either are driving aggressive-and-fast-but-not-audi-tier deathwish, or former aggressive-driver but now has kids and is fast but not reckless, or grandpa olde. but i think there's cars that are far more likely to be grandpa oldes slowly chugging along, like buicks and kia's
