When you repost shit on Lemmy, the repostiness is amplified by 100x.

Fragile egos behind the wheel combined with pettiness are the worst.

[–] MycarHolmes@quokk.au 144 points 1 week ago (16 children)

70 in a 50 zone. Doesn't matter if its km/h or mph, that's just idiotic.

exactly, the engineers should never have made a road with that big of a discrepancy between safe speed and listed speed limit

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

The engineers only make the designed safe speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Traffic engineers in the US make too wide roads that psychologically encourages speeding, the posted speed limit doesn't matter unless police dedicates significant resources to enforcing it

  1. Escalates the angry driver situation.
  2. Takes photos while driving.

Neither driver here is in the right.

I don't need to be right.

Fuck you Kevin you piece of shit.

Yeah, honking at me. And those flashing lights on the roof of their car are really annoying.

The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It's not your job to enforce traffic rules.

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Exactly. You have no clue why they're speeding either. Sure it could be some a-hole, but it could also be someone with a medical situation, or someone that's about to poop their pants.

When I was younger I used to stay in the lane. Now I move over if it's safe, and let them pass. Not worth the chance of accidentally upsetting a psycho.

Using phone while driving... Great.

Fuck everyone who ever touches their phone while the vehicle is on. This shit is not okay, ever.

I'm a school bus driver and many of my coworkers use their phones (talking, texting and even doom scrolling) while driving a bus - sometimes even when they have kids aboard. And these buses have internal cameras that are always recording! I don't understand how they're not fired or at least suspended for it, but I suppose the driver shortage has something to do with it.

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (5 children)
  1. The phone is clearly mounted on the dashboard.

  2. It's not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

  3. This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else's video for all we know.

Don't touch your phone while driving, but also, don't believe everything you see on social media.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca -2 points 6 days ago

It's not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

That's still a distraction. Even if they don't intend to upload the entire recording they are paying less attention to the road in order to pay attention to their "performance".

Love reading threads about driving cause everyone is very upset for no discernible reason.

You know, I get it, they're probably just an asshole. Maybe they're having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they're nuts enough to make things violent?

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 54 points 1 week ago (17 children)

I mean, the text say the guy honked for going "70 in a 50".

If you take it at face value, the person posting is the asshole and a terrible driver endangering everybody on the road.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She's taking selfies while driving, clearly she's the better person

The other person would have to be doing 70 as well, in order to honk at them.

I do this and then wonder why the fuck the asshole honking won't just pass.

Only time I've been close to road rage was when a Mercedes CL had a really bright LED strobe light installed inside it's front grill and he activating it, if somebody was in his way.

It wasn't a cop or other emergency vehicle. Just an asshole.

I was lucky to be in front of him for 15 minutes when traffic got compacted enough to prevent lane change.

For a moment I considered hitting the brakes on that particular tailgater.
