      Or leaving 3-5 car lengths in sub 20 traffic, and when stopping in nose to tail!

        Not even trying to leave an opening for someone entering or leaving a parking lot! Just in suburbia hell, too scared to get closer to a car when it’s stopped, than when the light turns green. Cause they always close the gap immediately when the light turns green!

        Sorry, I did Uber for a couple hours today and am still kinda upset.

    I mean… If they appear to be driving like an unpredictable idiot I don’t want to be stuck behind and I would rather be in front of? Worth. Still feelin’ the meme in general though.

      Or they drive so slow and bad they make you catch all the red lights. And stop randomly because the asphalt had a slightly different color and they are afraid it will crumble under their car and send them down the bowels of the earth. It’s a fucking road and you drive a car not a super fragile Cristal art piece.

    Speeding is a scam that turns danger into wasted gas without getting you to your destination measurable faster

    I ride an ebike and I absolutely love pulling up behind the guy who passed me way too close because they’re impatient. I usually wave at them through their back window close enough to see the panic in their eyes.

      You don’t pass them? When cars pass me and then get stuck at a light, I always pass them and then pull right in front of the light and block them. I want the futility of passing me to be super obvious.

          Where I am from bikes (motorized and otherwise) filter to the front by law.

          Like you’re not gonna get in trouble for not but the law dictates you’re allowed to.

          I’d just casually exercise my right, although getting ran over by an asshole in response doesn’t give a fuck about yer rights

    And has the reaction time of a stump. Trying to speed up to catch up to you long after the light changes to green.

    Used to drive along a road where you would always get stuck behind a truck sooner or later, with no way to overtake for many kilometers. Whether it was sportscars or suicidal van drivers or me keeping a steady pace, everyone always got stuck behind the same damn truck.

    Really would’ve liked a radio intercom thingamabob, to tell people that we can save fuel by going 10 under and still get stuck behind a truck in due time.
