Truth.
Truth.
Truth.
Tesla.
Tesla model 3 to be exact.
The iPhone of the car world.
If it has a punisher sticker it's 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
Totally true, I always thought that would be the case but there really are studies that confirm this.
Where I live an SUV is a must or everybody will bully you in the road. Public transportation drivers are just bad people here.
Or do you have a genuine reason that makes them advantageous?
I have an SUV because:
Truth is that mine (BMW X1) is at most 5cm bigger in any dimension, if at all, than the car on which it is based (Mini Cooper). The extra size is an optical illusion.
Well then just block all roads and murder people while you are at it. A ok.
That's similar to why I hav an SUV. My dad has mobility issues and has a scooter to help him get around. The SUV is higher off the ground making it easier to get in and out while the larger cargo space can hold the scooter and anything else (groceries, luggage, etc).
Also - the mass and form of an SUV makes them a good option in terms of safety. Smaller vehicles get crunched like pop cans, and trucks get sandwiched by their own bed if you hit a solid object.
Any cars really, cars have the power to turn any decent human being into soulless sociopath.
And what's more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄
To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It's a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "
How can one gain your level of awareness?
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.
This. Audi is the new BMW.
If you ever think you are doing a worthless job ... think about the poor guy who installs the blinkers in a BMW factory.
They have blinkers ?!?
Only if you pay for the subscription fees.
They don't pay the subscription fee.
That would be my first choice. Same experience.
Pretty sure they just removed turn signals on cars where I live. Super expensive car being driven by someone who has no clue, can't guage speeds, can't guage other traffic and can't figure out when to use turn signals.
Cops do not do traffic infraction stops here whatsoever, and I'm pretty convinced many of the drivers here don't even have a license. There is no way they could ha e passed the written test.
Ford Mustang. Literally never been near one on the road that wasn't revving the engine, tailgating people, and driving like a maniac.
Any one using a light bar or super bright off road lights on the road. They obviously don't care about others. I know you want a car model but every time I see this I wish a cop would/ could take action.
Lifted trucks. My assurance goes up 10x if they have rims and tires meant for the road.
Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.
Welcome to my new segment, You Might Want to Know?
Dodge and Ram are two different brands and product lines. Rams are the trucks, and Dodge makes muscle vehicles.
But as to your point, you're more right than you possibly know!
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.
Extra points if the have wheel spacers
100x if it's squat... Squated?
It’s so dumb like Fucking whhhyyyy
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.)
BMW
This and big coal rolling, loud ass trucks.
Pick up trucks I get. I'm a tradesman.
But some trucks are absolutely massive, and more often than not MUCH more than the driver needs, and the coal rolling and loudness is just obnoxious af.
Cops still take it tho. Head on a swivel for those shills.
If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it's 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane
Vehicles with thin blue line flags (and/or stickers of the same)
I'd like to believe my Honda Ridgeline is the exception to this, but truck bros don't acknowledge it as a real truck anyway.
Lifted truck rolling coal is 100% an asshole.
Anything that looks like it just pulled off the battlefield. Like G Wagons and Hummers.
I've never seen a dirty G Wagon or Hummer, so I'm not sure what you're taking about.
I should have said looks like it was made for the battlefield.
In Australia it's ute (pickup) drivers. If it's a faded mustard colour it's an ancient farmer driving 30 km/h below the speed limit in a no-overtaking area. If it's bright red it's the farmer's grandchild driving at 30 km/h above the speed limit as he* overtakes you in a no-overtaking area.
*It's always a he.
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.
Living in Australia where US trucks really don't go on our roads well, I can attest to Ram drivers being the most dreadful drivers here. As we've come to call it, Emotional Support Vehicles.
Among Truck drivers, Rams are usually the objectively worst vehicle for doing trucking activities on a per yearly model basis. So it kinda makes sense the dumbest people with trucks aren't the ones who know anything about truck capabilities either.
Sadly I really like how the classics look and therefore want one.
But I don't drink, at all. And I definitely don't idolize rams. That's a pretty funny generalization to make though.
Anything with truck nuts attached
Hold up. Truck nuts on a Prius or PT Cruiser is fucking hilarious
One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70's moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.
For giggles I kinda want to put them on my minivan.
Or hear me out… put truck nuts on a sport car
I once saw them on a stroller.
And yes, truck nuts are objectively funny. Ironically on trucks when the driver is obviously compensating for something. And regular funny on everything else.
This is acceptable.
Generally people who do that are of a particular political affiliation. They would feel emasculated when told they have made their truck Transgender as the truck was not made with balls.
As doing this shows just how small of a micro penis they have.
Anything that makes VRROOOOOOM VROOOOOM noises when it doesn't need to is almost certainly driven by an asshole.
Ehh, or someone that can't afford to fix their exhaust (been there)
Yeah because some asshole thought he needed the cats more than I did 😮💨 and gave up not even half way.
There definitely aren't that many people with broken exhausts.
You can always tell which people do it on purpose because they'll make sporty modifications to like a Camry or other low-end, beat up car and act like they're fast just because they're loud.
Idiots on motorcycles who rev in neighborhoods and parking lots are some of the biggest assholes.
Yes the giant ‘mufflers’ were bad enough, lately I’m seeing & hearing poorly tuned expensive sports cars. Mass incompetence or intentional noise maker? These thing are backfiring like crazy.
Any truck but Dodge Ram in particular.
I play games online with a guy from Norway and he was telling me somebody from his town had an imported Dodge Ram.
And I said let me guess - he revs the engine at stop lights, spins out of every single parking lot, and roars through town like a maniac. "How did you know?" They all drive that way! I guess even in Norway they do. I think maybe they get a manual with the vehicle.
Ram trucks are the official vehicle of domestic abuse.
Tesla's have become the new BMW drivers from my experience as of late.
Strangely... I don't think it's the fault of the driver (well, they still picked the car)... The lane assist FSD autobraking is all fucking awful.
Next time you see one get in front of it about 100 yards ahead and tap the brakes... Don't brake, just flash the tail lights... The Tesla will slow down every time.
They're terrible cars for terrible people I guess.
VW Golf GTI
(in Germany)
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.
We look at those people the same in the US too tbf lol
At least the European car market still has regular cars. Turns out that if it's cheaper and easier to build and sell trucks, car manufacturers will make only trucks. So too many Americans buy trucks and SUV's, not because they want to, but because that's the only thing they can buy.
In NL they have a lot less legitimity, there are no mountains, no huge private farms, no vast plains with subpar roads.
Yeah, they don't even fit in a regular parking space, it is ridiculous to drive one in the Netherlands
They don't fit in parking spaces here either! I'm constantly saying that they should park in the back of the parking lot
Doesnt matter, anyone can be an asshole
I agree except you forgot to add Audis. They're tied with BMWs as top and then a Tesla as second.
I'm surprised to see Lexus on that list.
Midsized Audi sedans. These always seem to be following me too close.
Nissan Altima
With paper plates.
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.
Tell me you live in Florida without telling me you live in Florida. If you don't, you sure know their drivers.
this is a total tangent but historically the pedal that's not your gas or clutch is a "brake" and if drivers are causing you or your car to "break" then you should definitely get their insurance details and they should go back to driving school 🙃
Tesla...
Anyone who has a big fucking pickup truck and isn't living in a rural area
Most will never see a speck of dirt in their entire lifetime or haul anything more than groceries. Pavement princesses.
This is the most accurate thing I’ve read all week
Yes! I think the original response is the most accurate.
In Thailand the list consists of:
In my country the Fortuner is quite respected .
Any Subaru not so much . The outback is used by the secret service, Any other Subaru, teenagers .
Oversized trucks and new BMWs. Every fucking time...
90-and-counting downvoters just can't get enough of the taste of boot
I'm more amused by all the people who think this is a question that someone wanted them to answer and not one that's already been answered.
Because it hasn't been answered. It's a very subjective question, so there is no final answer.
I get that cops are seen as corrupt pigs in some countries, but in some others they're trusted and respected. I have seen American police and 99% of them are awful people. But in my country I have only ever had pleasant experiences with the police, and public opinion of them is mostly positive. (Was speeding, got pulled over, told to drive safely and that the cop could see I'm not drunk and was being aware, then wished good night and let go.)
My answer will be anyone driving a modified exhaust and/or riced up car. Typically a tailgating boy racer.
Oversized SUV, like Range Rover
Lift-kitted pickup trucks. Every single time, there's either a thin blue line flag, or some other settler paramilitary organization's flag flying out the bed of the mf.
Don't forget the Punisher skull.
Tesla.
BMWs, all the time
Agreed... They will never let you in, never set their indicators... Nightmarish, ignorant drivers...
BMWs and blinkers are mutually exclusive.
Ford Flex drivers seem unaware that other people use the road
20+ years old riced Honda Civic.
Ram.
How was no one said Dodge challenger / charger yet?
Wait till they start giving cops Teslas. Double whammy assholery in the streets.
A big, black, clean truck.
I’d say those extended cab pickup trucks with those big smokestacks, they’re literally made that way to blow smoke in people’s faces, pollute the environment.
I'm surprised this isn't listed yet: Hummer
I think the hate for Hummers has died down simply because you just don't see them around very often anymore.
Any recent Tesla model.
Omg there so ugly. Like driving a giant sperm.
That, and who the h3ll wants to give the idiot Elon any money after the way he's acting? And then the quality issues... steering wheels falling off, I mean, good grief.
Dodge ram.
.
The entire history of the internet has been one giant exchange of content back and forth. The question is valid, so are you just getting annoyed at the presentation? lmao
.
Jeeps and dodge pickups
Rubicons especially
huge trucks/ pickups
For many people the answer should be "my vehicle".
the real answer is always oppressor mk2
Ford Mustangs for me
Porsche Cayenne
Audi
Pickup trucks, SUVs and motorcycles.
As well as cars with loud mufflers.
Modded exhaust, for the pampered teenager who lives their life a quarter mile at a time.
Yeah...Pretty much. That and giant pickup trucks.
Edit: Also a police car. I missed that the first time around.
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.
Still enjoying my A7 after your post 😚
Mine.
Im old fashioned but i still think only dicks drive bmw's
I'm only up voting you for your user name.
Teslas, Pickup trucks, SUVs
This is probably two thirds of the vehicles I see in Austin... which probably has the worst drivers of any city I've lived in.
Ford F250 or larger
I would say F150 or larger unless it is has a company logo on it.
Easily a Tesla. Any model.
God, this is tautogical at this point. In San Francisco, about 6 years ago, you suddenly saw Teslas beginning to do the asshole shit that BMWs were famous for.
By now, the infamous BMW drivers have been wholly replaced by Tesla drivers. I can’t remember the last time I saw a BMW do something assholish.
Anything Lexus. Mostly luxury brand SUV (Lexus, Cadillac, BmW, those trying to be cool Denali shit). Sprinkle in some "modified" diesel trucks and we have a party.
Lexus is a quality brand - it's Toyota's luxury brand. If I can't find a good price on a used toyota in my neighborhood, I can usually find a lexus for a surprisingly good price. You're sleeping on this brand!
Feel like BMW’s always drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit in an inexplicably infuriating way
Until you go around them. Then, they have to bullet ahead and prevent anyone from getting ahead of them.
Did you mean Buick? That's not my experience at all.
Everything in this thread and the question is verrry subjective 😂
Teslas, for sure. And Subaru drivers aren't necessarily assholes, but they seem to always be in my way.
Subaru drivers, especially the SUVs almost follow the rules of the road TOO well, and also take 6 seconds to accelerate at a light for some reason.
6 seconds is a bit too much, but waiting for a second to three is fine, incase some guy is running through the red light.
I've been tboned before in the exact scenario and everytime Im the first car, id rather wait a second to go after making sure the intersection is clear.
Apparently I'm an asshole.
Edit: no I'm not a cop LOL
A shitty old Saturn
This must be an American thing then because Subaru are almost non existent in the UK, yet long lines of queuing traffic are common
This thread is fucking cringe. Get over yourselves.
Cars and trucks parked backwards in parking spots.
Can’t downvote this hard enough. The only spaces that should even allow pull-ins are those diagonal ones and even those kinda piss me off.
Wait, what? Backing a truck in makes it a lot easier and safer to leave (better visibility of traffic and pedestrians). It has little to no effect on anybody else other than maybe having to wait for them to back in.
All cops are bastards
Barbecue their dicks
Barbecue their dicks
All cops are bastards
Roast their penises yeah
Yeah yeah yeah!
Wasn't expecting to see any Terrorgruppe here, but I'm always down with some short music for short people.
Mind you tell me what is your car?
Sweeping generalizations and stereotyping is juvenile, small minded and very much a part of the problem.
Bicycle.
Yesterday while driving on a two lane road with a bike lane there were two people on bikes. What appeared to be a man and a woman in full brightly colored garb and helmets. Both were weaving in the bike lane and/or riding on the dividing line between the bike lane and the road. At one point, as a few cars were approaching them from behind, one of them whips over into the center of the road for no reason other than to block traffic thereby forcing the overtaking cars into the oncoming traffic lane. There was no obstruction on the bike lane. The other rider proceeded with weaving about unpredictably. She simply couldn't stand the idea of someone safely passing them and forced an unsafe condition for everyone involved....
Can't Understand Normal Thinking.
I pray that every bike she every rides has a slow leak in both tires no matter how often it is patched or replaced. The more time she spends off the road pumping up the tires, the less time she is endangering herself and others.
Rarely is someone on a bicycle and not an asshole!
This is such a strange perspective. I'm not a bike rider, but never understand people's issues with bikers, joggers, or anything on the road besides cars. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but nearly every biker? That has not been even close to my experience, and I mostly see cars/trucks being unnecessarily aggressive towards bikers and runners.
We are in a rehashed weekly askreddit topic to lump people together and collectively hate them, idk what you expect.
I live in an area with a lot of paved bike trails.... made specifically for bikes, walkers, and joggers to have a SAFE place away for automobile traffic to enjoy their outdoor activity. Also there are bike lanes along side many main roads. The issue is the asshole that isn't using the provided bike lane and intentionally blocking the main automobile lane while weaving unpredictably thereby making it unsafe to pass.
Driving down the road and a farmer on a tractor pulls out with a trailer loaded down with hay going 5 mph.... that's an annoyance but he's got work to do and NEEDS to get where he's going.... sucks to be caught behind him but whatever he's gonna get off the road eventually.
An asshole on a bike unnecessarily whipping over in front of a line of cars for no reason other than to be an asshole.... that's not acceptable behavior that's a self important entitled asshole. Blocking traffic for LOLs is a dangerous game to play.
For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called "taking primary".
If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.
That's where the problem lies..... in that particular area the bike lane is plenty wide enough for two bikes to ride side by side and the main roadway, in both directions, is plenty wide enough to not crowd the bike lane. No reason whatsoever for her to move out of the unencumbered bike lane and block the automobile lane which forced everyone attempting to overtake into the oncoming lane. It WASN'T a no passing double line so it was a safe place to take the oncoming traffic lane if it is empty of traffic. She was clearly playing stupid games. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes or fuck around and find out both apply and if she keeps up with that type of action then most certainly some day she will find out what winning a prize is all about. Of course the automobile driver will be the one at fault for driving in the main traffic lane and not avoiding the asshole on a bike.
The tesla autopilot feature drives like an asshole too. If I'm in the HOV lane with no one behind me and I see a Tesla coming up in the rear view, I know that's it going to come bombing up behind me at 90 MPH and not slow down until it's like ten feet away. As someone who has been rear ended on the freeway like that, it makes my butthole pucker every time.
Anyone with a truck carrying giant flags. If you are in the US, you know what I mean.
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.
They're in Canada, too.
Not one of our best exports
I'm conflicted by this because the other day, I saw one of these with LGBTQ+ flags and not the typical American, Mexican, Rattlesnake or Trump 2024 flags.
Still, it was on a giant truck clearly not for working on a farm or hauling anything but ass and those giant flags are obnoxious no matter what they are signalling.
Doesn't help the 1.5C that's for sure.
Anyone with a truck that doesn't own a farm or is a contractor.
I guess no one else need to haul shit, huh.
