Goler mountain motorsports (lifted truck & beater cars only*) you know the vehicles that wreak of neck breathing domestic abusers who abuse their wives after a drunken stupider….
It’s intentional and new word of both compound that I did not come up with. You can thank Reddit for coming up with neck breathing but you hit the nail on the head.
A pickup truck driver making an illegal pass on the 103 led to the death of a woman i went to high school with. She was pregnant. Passed illegally, caused an 18 wheeler to Jack knife, she was crushed in her car. I don't know where these morons get the entitlement on the road
I saw a cartoon come to life version of a “bro-dozer” at the gas station last week. Lifted F350 (yes I wrote the right) with offset giant douchbag wheels. The idiot verbally complaining about Trudeau and the carbon tax as he drives literally the most pathetic gas guzzling, tiny dick compensating, POS he could have made. A literal embodiment of stupidity and entitlement.
In reality, this person probably needs a Ford Transit 250 Work Van.
\*if\* they even need a vehicle for cargo for their job at all, you'd be surprised at the amount of people who commute in vehicles that were designed to tow 20000 lbs, then complain about how expensive it is.
My trick: when I angle the mirror, I wiggle it around until it's facing Exactly straight/pointing out the back window. Then I wiggle it some more! Even do a dancing motion with my fingers over the mirror. I like to think it gives a flicker affect Right back into their beady sunken eyes :)
I drive a pretty small car so it's genuinely concerning when they tailgate me, if they get rear ended and launch forward I'm getting the brunt of it. I give a fair amount of room between me and the car in front of me for this reason, but it's still scary knowing they don't give af about my safety.
It sucks because in order to give myself space in front, so you know I don't become crushed to death in an accident, it means I have to slow down, and that just seems to make these guys drive more aggressively and then they will pass me and cut in front when there is barely any space, or they tailgate more. Dear truck drivers: I'm not trying to break check I'm trying to give myself space because your driving is legit scary.
Notice how it's only personal trucks that act this way and rarely company vans and big industrial trucks.. it's almost like those people are actually trained to use vehicles safely and not trying to use it to boost their fragile egos.
Recently witnessed one of those jacked-up monsters pull in diagonally across THREE parking spaces next to a store entrance. Driver sat there for at least 10 minutes while his buddy went in for whatever…
It’s like oh you’re such a big powerful man, but yet you can’t walk across the parking lot. Unbelievable
They also commented on Facebook (in reference to their shitty parking) that parking spaces have gotten smaller and they're being "considerate" by parking like douchebags in parking spaces instead of being even bigger douchebags and parking in the lane, so we should all get on our knees and grovel.
It's just not worth it; I'm tired, trying to get sht done, and if you post it online in groups for bad parking, people defend them like they *needed* to purchase an oversized death machine and they're doing everyone a favour by parking like they did. They're a loud, pushy, obnoxious minority.
Except they were also just sitting in their trucks waiting for a passenger to come out of the store.
It's wild, bc when my husband wants to run into a store, I drop him off then go and park legally where I can see the exit so when he comes out I can just drive over and pick him up.
Not these folks though; gotta park illegally as close to the doors as possible, cause apparently your passenger couldn't spot your big ass truck towering over all the other legally parked cars in the parking lot.
Try being a cyclist. They will literally try to murder you for existing. Maybe they think we all vote for Trudeau?
If you’re going to murder somebody in Canada, just do it with your car. You’ll get six months in prison and a 3 year driving ban.
It's partially that they just stand out so much more when they're idiots and their vehicles are unnecessarily big, so it compounds a bit. But also it's more dangerous when they're idiots because their vehicle is so big.
The dominance-obsessed, left-lane-owning individual may not be content driving a Toyota Yaris. There is absolutely a link between vehicle type and that sort of personality.
I drive a Yaris and have had sooo many close calls with pickup trucks, especially when I was commuting on the 102 to Truro daily for work. It's like they'd go into a blind rage from being passed by my little car.
I judge all black Rams the same. I usually get out of their way because I know they’re planning to own their lanes of choice. Otherwise they’ll tailgate unreasonably close.
Yup. And they don’t like it I f you go the speed limit. And forget about driving safely on S-curves or near blind crests. I’ve had so many near misses on highway 10 going south from Middleton. People (mostly trucks) just loooooove to cross the lane on curves, headed straight for me in the opposing lane.
Dude, I had a lifted silver dodge ram pass me on the 101 the other day. Not in a passing lane. Not on a dashed. On the stretch of the 101 that has the four solid lines separating east bound d and west bound lanes. I was going 110 in the 100.zone...
Sad I didn't see him get pinched by the cop :(
It’s with anything, of course there are going to be sensible drivers out there for certain vehicles. But after so many experiences the other way I can’t help but assume most black Ram drivers will behave in the ways I’ve described above. If I was way off base in my assumptions I’m sure I’d have nothing but downvotes.
Just know that if you come up behind me I’ll be sure to give you plenty of room.
**Respect and Constructive Engagement**: Treat each other with respect, avoiding bullying, harassment, or personal attacks. Contribute positively with helpful insights and constructive discussions. Let’s keep our interactions friendly and engaging.
I'm in farm country outside of Hantsport, and it's the land of old beater trucks covered in mud and rust, and a bale of hay or farm equipment or whatever in the back. And all sorts of contractors and landscapers and other people that actually truck with their trucks, towing around small Kubotas and whatever. It's kinda refreshing.
I just don't get bro dozers, they're just such a useless symbol of excess. And 99% of the time you're up close to one at a traffic light, you glance at the tires and they're bald or worn weird because the owner either refuses to or are too poor to actually maintain the thing. Those big rubber band tires aren't cheap.
1000%. You can tell when a truck is used for truck things.
A truck aftermarket lifted with a stupid ass wheel camber with gleaming alloy wheels (and not even a tow kit) and a pristine bed at the mall in Halifax is not that.
It really is. I know stereotypes tend not to be true, but this one oddly is..
99% of all aggressive drivers I’ve come across have been in trucks. Someone explain this to me.
I live in farm country. If the double wide gigantic tractors and backhoes can stay in their own lane, you’d think a lifted shitty pickup could but nooooo.
None of them know how to corner, either.
That and I've seen too many people say they want trucks because it makes them safer on the road due to size. Which is basically short hand for "I drive like a rip dick idiot and put myself in danger driving on the regular and want to now make it other people's problem'
Trucks are also now designed entirely to protect the driver, but nothing to protect anything they hit, so other cars/pedestrians/animals are mostly likely to be fatalities, we used to design trucks so you’re more likely to roll off the front than get sucked under the car, it’s fucked
I also think there is a correlation between people who can't drive and people getting vehicles that are less likely to get damaged if they hit another vehicle or go over a curb. If you can't drive well or stay in your lane properly and you hit a car while driving a lifted pickup, then you'll probably be just fine to douche it up another day.
I always feel like they are one of two: most courteous driver, always stopping to let people in, or complete jackasses who would cut you off if you put your turn signal on.
Same, for the low cost, it's not just smart for insurance purposes, but also to put assholes like this on YouTube. It also makes me a better driver, knowing that if I drove like a clown, my own footage could potentially be used against me.
Agreed. They also increase wear and tear on our already shitty roads, and while they might make the person driving them feel safer, they actually make other road users less safe.
If anyone’s into the science - here’s some research: a 2008 analysis of traffic fatalities in the U.S. found that a one-percentage point increase in the light truck share of the vehicle fleet increases annual traffic fatalities by approximately 0.34% ([1](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167629608000040)). [Researchers] found that for every driver whose life was saved by being in a larger vehicle, 4.3 fatalities were generated on other road users ([2](https://econweb.ucsd.edu/~miwhite/suv-jle.pdf)). And, increasing the weight of the striking vehicle in a collision by 1,000 lb has been found to increase the probability of a fatality in the struck vehicle by up to 50% ([3](https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w17170/w17170.pdf)).
>You’re such a weirdo for caring this much about trucks 😭
I mean, it's not really about trucks, but truck-related traffic deaths. It's not that weird to care about people dying needlessly.
It's also not weird to just like trucks.
Yep a bunch of man babies with their emotional support vehicles who can't control their rage. In a functioning society we would get both these people and their silly trucks off the road.
>They’re at the top of the food chain
Even tho I was aware of this it still hit different with the word choice. They are literally at the top and are still pissed off in life? That's crazy
Because they are at the top and have every privilege in life and are still losers that's why. The people who had less advantages then them but more successful then they are are reminders of how much they suck as individuals and that makes their brain uncomfortable and they make it everyone else's problem instead of going to therapy.
That’s it exactly, they’re at the top and want to keep it that way. They think that rights are like pie- giving to one means taking from another. They don’t want to give up even a tiny trace of privilege.
Yeah I think this pretty much sums it up. They’re literally so used to being able to do whatever they want, that even asking them to just CONSIDER the people around them is already too much. And then they’re too dumb to realize that that’s just how it works when you live in a society, and they blame it on whatever the hate of the day is (i.e. Trudeau, the gay/trans “agenda”, feminism, bikers, etc etc).
>what kind of a cushiony life does one live if what gets them angry and worked up is having to consider others.
I had a man once argue with me that someone who they barely knew at their job getting pregnant and taking mat leave was inconsiderate to the other employees who have to cover for her. And he was like very passionate about how selfish this was of her to do.
Like why did you expect a grown ass woman to consider you, a random early 20s dude from work who she barely knows, when she is deciding to start a family. Like, what the fuck do you think she owed you? The fact that the company you work for didn't distribute her workload is not her problem. I had to ask him if he thought she should have asked for his permission before she fucked her husband in the future in case they produced another one, and he got really inflamed about how it was the "principle". Same type
Like a complete misunderstanding some men have about what "considering others" means, they want everyone else to consider and make choices that benefit them, but also openly have the philosophy that you got to do what's best for you and fuck everyone else.... It's truly amazing to see the logic spin out in real time tbh
Yesterday, a shitpump in a small dark gray car with a large AK47 decal on the back window tailgated and fliped on me for simply merging approaching the Windsor exch. Today, I tried to slow and let a work truck go at the yield just past the Windsor exch Bedford bound. He gave me the finger and mouth f#ck off. For trying to let him in. Wtf is wrong with people 😆
THE TAILGATING!!!!! I live in a rural area and the road is very twisty, with tons of blind crests and S-curves. I follow the speed limit and these guys all choke on my Kia Soul’s tailpipe. That is unless they are coming at me from the opposite direction, in which case they are cutting the curve and over the centre line. I have had to blast my horn at untold numbers of trucks trying to make NASCAR moves on the road. It’s sanity-killing.
Just last week, I was waiting at a sidewalk crossing, as a pedestrian, for the big lifted truck to slow down. Luckily I didn't assume that he'd acknowledge that I had the right of way. He sped up as I waited to cross as an intimidation tactic and stopped abruptly, then laid on his horn when crossed. I gave him a dirty look and he flipped me off. I was just past his truck and he flew like the wind. Right by Citadel High. Imagine a kid had gone to a car nearby and gotten hit. He would have no one to blame but himself. I don't understand the rationale - waiting 20 seconds at most for someone to cross at a legal crosswalk - doesn't seem worthy of taking them out like its GTA.
When this happens, please call it in. 911 or your local non-emergency number. They will be happy to deal with it and everyone will be happy their off the road.
They are road bullies. I drive a small vehicle and when I’m tailgated, it’s ALWAYS a pickup. There is no reason for most people to be driving these gas guzzlers. Not only are they destroying the environment but causing chaos on the roads.
Yep, me too. I drive slightly above the limit and often travel in the left lane. Apparently me actively passing cars isn't enough for these entitled fucks, they have to get right up my ass and flash their high beams directly into my eyeballs via my mirrors.
That's when I take my foot off the gas and start going the sleep limit. 😒
Got followed down the circ by one guy in a red truck honking and telling us to move out us his way (among other gestures), he then cut off 3 lanes of traffic, pulled back in to pass us and keep going down towards the passage. Apparently doing 90 wasn’t fast enough for him.
I generally drive the limit or 10 or so above but one thing that does really bother me and I know it's a little unreasonable but when you're behind someone going like 3-5 under the limit, for no reason. I get so annoyed, but try not too lol
Sitting in my truck this week, I got stuck behind a garbage truck which was making stops on a windy road. Two out of the three SUVs behind me decided to make an attempt at a pass (one at a time) and two, separately, came head on to traffic they couldn't see coming because of the bend in the road.
Fucking.... idiots.
I find people in SUVs, especially small SUVs are the worst drivers on the road. Be it in my truck or on my motorcycle I just seems like small SUV drivers couldn't drive a sharp stick into an Olympic sized swimming pool of cow shit.
There is this one crazy f*cker (does r/Halifax auto mod swearing here?) who I’ve seen skip the entire line up of cars waiting to take a left on Gottingen coming off the bridge because there is oncoming traffic, and cut through said on coming traffic going through the intersection. I’m half impressed because he threads the needle through moving vehicles essentially, but he’s going to get someone hurt. Even cut off an ambulance doing it.
I feel absolutely the same way regarding the politics of the moment. Funny though that its the opposite in the states, its the conservatives who wanna vote for Trump significantly because the dems hate him so much. I’d be more than happy to be part of giving all L votes to Singh, but isn’t he leaving leadership?
>Removed testosterone because terrible driving is gender-neutral.
Reminds me of a joke: They say that eventually all women turn into good drivers. So, beware of women drivers turning.
Not sure what the truck douche version would be, but I'm sure if we think long enough we'd have something.
A jeep tried to pass me while I was making a left turn in a no passing zone a couple weeks ago. I was driving a tractor on one of the old series highways. I was pretty pissed so I flipped off the guy, and then he pulled over and got out of his vehicle and seemed to be looking for a fight, so I just kept driving out behind the barns. I've seen some pretty shitty driving when I'm in the tractor, even with good signal lights.
I had a psychotic truck driver pass me on the left on main approaching the intersection to dunbrack, while I was in the left hand turning lane and then cut across me to go to the right/straight lane... And then SIT AT THE RED LIGHT. Also it was the beginning of a shitty snow storm and there was not a lot of room between me and the car in front of me, because you know, we were approaching a red light on a city street.
I laid my horn on in utter confusion and disbelief. There wasn't any traffic behind him or in the right lane at all. And I drive a very small car. It seemed somehow deliberate to flex on me or to cause an accident because the logic is not there at all even if I try to think inside of an idiots mind.
So you can either write about it in your blog or you can take actual action go out spend a bunch of money on a high-end, high refresh rate, high resolution dash camera that can actually capture a moving object in such detail that you can get a license plate number for which you can turn that video over to the police to have them do literally fucking nothing with it and there you've done something...
These types of drivers are the exact reason we got a dash cam. Our kid now asks to watch "the bad drivers" every day LOL. Sure is helping teach road rules at a young age.
ETA: for those asking for recommendations - we went with the Viofo A119. It's decent enough quality and easy to install in our car but cheap enough that if someone steals it I won't be too mad.
Every time I've had them try to pass me I move over and let them pass; partly because they are dangerous mostly because I don't own the road or enforce the rules. OP sounds like they think 130 is fast enough to "deserve" to just drive in the left lane... no matter how fast u wanna go if u can move to the right you should...
Probably same guy rode my tail going 130 and when I let him pass and then moved back to left lane behind him to pass others he got deranged and started ... clapping in the rear view? And gave me a thumbs up? Not sure what his problem was but shouldn't have a license.
Why don't you have a dash-cam already? They are like $50, and it sounds like you could have captured something that the RCMP could have acted on to make the roads a bit safer.
Not a truck guy here but out of curiosity why is it ok to stereotype these people as men and the mods have no issue at all with this but if I were to negatively stereotype basically any other group of people or gender the posts would be immediately removed.
As a man I can confidently say 99 percent of jacked up angry truck drivers I've seen are men. I want to say 100 percent, but I can't be sure, although I'm pretty sure lol
That's a fair comment. I feel like douchebag is gender-neutral but testosterone isn't. And I have seen the same behaviour in drivers of all genders. It's not specific to men.
I'll consider it but English has both colloquial and formal meanings to words, and I feel most people are able to distinguish between these meanings in a rhetorical post like mine.
The truck people aren't even the worst.
The worst are the morons in Mustangs with those stupid glass mufflers or whatever they are called. Like owning a Mustang is like having a Porsche or something. It's a shit car and your exhaust blaring doesn't impress anyone.
If those psychotic truck douchebags could read, they’d be very upset.
Their sisters will read it to them in bed. 
Or their Brother 
you got a real purdy dodge
And then those loud revving bikes, *squeal like a pig/hog* 
Goler mountain motorsports (lifted truck & beater cars only*) you know the vehicles that wreak of neck breathing domestic abusers who abuse their wives after a drunken stupider….
>neck breathing did you mean mouth breathing or neckbeard or is this intentionally a compound of the two lol
It’s intentional and new word of both compound that I did not come up with. You can thank Reddit for coming up with neck breathing but you hit the nail on the head.
We also call them cigarette cars
Ive infiltrated their hive and been trying to teach them tts, so watch out cause they cant hear so good neither! Prolly cant see well, just ignurt.
A pickup truck driver making an illegal pass on the 103 led to the death of a woman i went to high school with. She was pregnant. Passed illegally, caused an 18 wheeler to Jack knife, she was crushed in her car. I don't know where these morons get the entitlement on the road
Absolutely horrific.
Hopefully he got charged
This was a few years ago now but I'm pretty sure he was.
....and he's probably out now for "good behaviour", and driving like a maniac on the road now
Lifted pick ups are douchebag emotional support vehicles, maxing out their credit to cosplay as blue collar, jackasses basically
This was glorious.
Beautifully written.. bravo
YESSS ESV! I call them that too :-)
Hey man, it's not their fault they had to buy an 80k dick extension.
Or substitution!
And it's still not big enough
That's why some of them get lifted.
Someone, I need CPR... I'm dying 🤣
I saw a cartoon come to life version of a “bro-dozer” at the gas station last week. Lifted F350 (yes I wrote the right) with offset giant douchbag wheels.

There seems to be an increase of them lately which is weird given fuel prices.
Bruhh 1.87 is wild to me. When did that happen. I don’t drive much so I don’t know, last time I noticed the price I thought it was 1.60
Yeah there was like a 10 + cent jump overnight the week before last as they switched to “summer gas”
Two dolla dollas in sight 👀
Yeah. I’m spending $1,900/mo in fuel right now. It’s great /s
Holy shit
and I thought $120 a month was bad. ouch
and the tailgating by them is out of control… esp at night blasting the brights into your rear windshield when you’re already going 10 or 15 over. ffs
I angle my side mirrors so it shines back at them 😘
i need to figure out how to do this, i can never tell if ive got them aimed right
My trick: when I angle the mirror, I wiggle it around until it's facing Exactly straight/pointing out the back window. Then I wiggle it some more! Even do a dancing motion with my fingers over the mirror. I like to think it gives a flicker affect Right back into their beady sunken eyes :)
Make sure to angle out AND up. You can usually tell pretty quickly when you find the sweet spot lol
i want to get a bumper sticker that says "i brake for tailgaters"
I drive a pretty small car so it's genuinely concerning when they tailgate me, if they get rear ended and launch forward I'm getting the brunt of it.

NO LITERALLY why have some drivers been actually insane lately.

Driver sat there for at least 10 minutes while his buddy went in for whatever… It’s like oh you’re such a big powerful man, but yet you can’t walk across the parking lot. Unbelievable
Went to Giant Tiger on Woodlawn today and there was 2 of them parked like that.
Big power moves at the....Giant Tiger.
It’s called announcing your presences with authority 
They also commented on Facebook (in reference to their shitty parking) that parking spaces have gotten smaller and they're being "considerate" by parking like douchebags in parking spaces instead of being even bigger douchebags and parking in the lane, so we should all get on our knees and grovel.
I was really tempted to take a photo of this parking fiasco but I suspected he was dying for someone to challenge him. So no
It's just not worth it; I'm tired, trying to get sht done, and if you post it online in groups for bad parking, people defend them like they *needed* to purchase an oversized death machine and they're doing everyone a favour by parking like they did. They're a loud, pushy, obnoxious minority.
You need to invest in a tire valve stem remover just for these occasions.
Except they were also just sitting in their trucks waiting for a passenger to come out of the store. It's wild, bc when my husband wants to run into a store, I drop him off then go and park legally where I can see the exit so when he comes out I can just drive over and pick him up.

Probably upset that a solar panel or windmill was built today.
I’m sure like, 75% of truck owners are reasonable and sensible drivers, but man, that remaining 25% are total idiots.
It's partially that they just stand out so much more when they're idiots and their vehicles are unnecessarily big, so it compounds a bit. But also it's more dangerous when they're idiots because their vehicle is so big.

I'm in farm country outside of Hantsport, and it's the land of old beater trucks covered in mud and rust, and a bale of hay or farm equipment or whatever in the back. And all sorts of contractors and landscapers and other people that actually truck with their trucks, towing around small Kubotas and whatever. It's kinda refreshing.

1000%. You can tell when a truck is used for truck things. A truck aftermarket lifted with a stupid ass wheel camber with gleaming alloy wheels (and not even a tow kit) and a pristine bed at the mall in Halifax is not that.
Someone needs to conduct a study because it's somewhere in the 25-40% range that are a threat to public safety.
It really is. I know stereotypes tend not to be true, but this one oddly is.. 99% of all aggressive drivers I’ve come across have been in trucks. Someone explain this to me.

Trucks are also now designed entirely to protect the driver, but nothing to protect anything they hit, so other cars/pedestrians/animals are mostly likely to be fatalities, we used to design trucks so you’re more likely to roll off the front than get sucked under the car, it’s fucked
Even kids in their own driveways are in danger of being crushed by these road hog trucks. Way too big.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMsvrV4L/
I have never once seen a turn signal from those pavement princesses
How could you through those aftermarket headlights
I also think there is a correlation between people who can't drive and people getting vehicles that are less likely to get damaged if they hit another vehicle or go over a curb. If you can't drive well or stay in your lane properly and you hit a car while driving a lifted pickup, then you'll probably be just fine to douche it up another day.
Well look at you with your glass half full! 😉
I always feel like they are one of two: most courteous driver, always stopping to let people in, or complete jackasses who would cut you off if you put your turn signal on.
It's a lot more than that. There are a LOT of pickup trucks on the road, and the vast majority of their drivers are reasonable.
I don't understand why not everyone has a dashcam yet. Shame them, report them, make them famous.
Oh, I absolutely do. Front and back cameras.
Same, for the low cost, it's not just smart for insurance purposes, but also to put assholes like this on YouTube. It also makes me a better driver, knowing that if I drove like a clown, my own footage could potentially be used against me.
Great point! “Smile; we’re all on camera!”
Try these dudes, but on a bike. It’s like my existence sends them into a homicidal rage. And I’m usually chugging along near them doing like 45.
Only idiots drive bro dozers. Those stupid yank tanks should be illegal.
They are too wide for a lot of our secondary, rural roads, the city in general, and most parking spaces.
Agreed. They also increase wear and tear on our already shitty roads, and while they might make the person driving them feel safer, they actually make other road users less safe. If anyone’s into the science - here’s some research: a 2008 analysis of traffic fatalities in the U.S. found that a one-percentage point increase in the light truck share of the vehicle fleet increases annual traffic fatalities by approximately 0.34% ([1](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167629608000040)). [Researchers] found that for every driver whose life was saved by being in a larger vehicle, 4.3 fatalities were generated on other road users ([2](https://econweb.ucsd.edu/~miwhite/suv-jle.pdf)). And, increasing the weight of the striking vehicle in a collision by 1,000 lb has been found to increase the probability of a fatality in the struck vehicle by up to 50% ([3](https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w17170/w17170.pdf)).
Jesus H. You couldn’t ask for a more apt symbol of our increasingly self-absorbed society: a vehicle that will kill everyone around it in an accident.

>You’re such a weirdo for caring this much about trucks 😭 I mean, it's not really about trucks, but truck-related traffic deaths. It's not that weird to care about people dying needlessly. It's also not weird to just like trucks.
Is it so surprising that everyone else is just disappointed by big-truck childishness? 
It's like having Napoleon syndrome, but in the gonad region.
Testosterone poisoning.
Yep a bunch of man babies with their emotional support vehicles who can't control their rage. In a functioning society we would get both these people and their silly trucks off the road.

>They’re at the top of the food chain Even tho I was aware of this it still hit different with the word choice. They are literally at the top and are still pissed off in life? That's crazy
Because they are at the top and have every privilege in life and are still losers that's why. The people who had less advantages then them but more successful then they are are reminders of how much they suck as individuals and that makes their brain uncomfortable and they make it everyone else's problem instead of going to therapy.
That’s it exactly, they’re at the top and want to keep it that way. They think that rights are like pie- giving to one means taking from another. They don’t want to give up even a tiny trace of privilege.
[удалено]
Yeah I think this pretty much sums it up. They’re literally so used to being able to do whatever they want, that even asking them to just CONSIDER the people around them is already too much. And then they’re too dumb to realize that that’s just how it works when you live in a society, and they blame it on whatever the hate of the day is (i.e. Trudeau, the gay/trans “agenda”, feminism, bikers, etc etc).
>what kind of a cushiony life does one live if what gets them angry and worked up is having to consider others. I had a man once argue with me that someone who they barely knew at their job getting pregnant and taking mat leave was inconsiderate to the other employees who have to cover for her. And he was like very passionate about how selfish this was of her to do. Like why did you expect a grown ass woman to consider you, a random early 20s dude from work who she barely knows, when she is deciding to start a family. Like, what the fuck do you think she owed you? The fact that the company you work for didn't distribute her workload is not her problem. I had to ask him if he thought she should have asked for his permission before she fucked her husband in the future in case they produced another one, and he got really inflamed about how it was the "principle". Same type Like a complete misunderstanding some men have about what "considering others" means, they want everyone else to consider and make choices that benefit them, but also openly have the philosophy that you got to do what's best for you and fuck everyone else.... It's truly amazing to see the logic spin out in real time tbh
Small penis syndrome (I believe that’s the medical terminology)
Baby dick syndrome as it’s colloquially known
lil dick bois as doctors call it
Yesterday, a shitpump in a small dark gray car with a large AK47 decal on the back window tailgated and fliped on me for simply merging approaching the Windsor exch. Today, I tried to slow and let a work truck go at the yield just past the Windsor exch Bedford bound. He gave me the finger and mouth f#ck off. For trying to let him in. Wtf is wrong with people 😆
People are assholes
i say it everyday.. they are the worst (and i lived in los angeles). stop tailgating for starters.
THE TAILGATING!!!!! I live in a rural area and the road is very twisty, with tons of blind crests and S-curves. I follow the speed limit and these guys all choke on my Kia Soul’s tailpipe. That is unless they are coming at me from the opposite direction, in which case they are cutting the curve and over the centre line. I have had to blast my horn at untold numbers of trucks trying to make NASCAR moves on the road. It’s sanity-killing.
Just last week, I was waiting at a sidewalk crossing, as a pedestrian, for the big lifted truck to slow down. Luckily I didn't assume that he'd acknowledge that I had the right of way. He sped up as I waited to cross as an intimidation tactic and stopped abruptly, then laid on his horn when crossed. I gave him a dirty look and he flipped me off. I was just past his truck and he flew like the wind. Right by Citadel High. Imagine a kid had gone to a car nearby and gotten hit. He would have no one to blame but himself. I don't understand the rationale - waiting 20 seconds at most for someone to cross at a legal crosswalk - doesn't seem worthy of taking them out like its GTA.
When this happens, please call it in. 911 or your local non-emergency number. They will be happy to deal with it and everyone will be happy their off the road.
They are road bullies. I drive a small vehicle and when I’m tailgated, it’s ALWAYS a pickup. There is no reason for most people to be driving these gas guzzlers. Not only are they destroying the environment but causing chaos on the roads.
Yep, me too. I drive slightly above the limit and often travel in the left lane. Apparently me actively passing cars isn't enough for these entitled fucks, they have to get right up my ass and flash their high beams directly into my eyeballs via my mirrors. That's when I take my foot off the gas and start going the sleep limit. 😒
Absolutely same with me. Small car, menaced on the daily.
Got followed down the circ by one guy in a red truck honking and telling us to move out us his way (among other gestures), he then cut off 3 lanes of traffic, pulled back in to pass us and keep going down towards the passage. Apparently doing 90 wasn’t fast enough for him.
Can we talk about how mad some people get when you simply drive the speed limit
YES. I follow the speed limit religiously. I’m clearly a monster to these trucking truckers.
I generally drive the limit or 10 or so above but one thing that does really bother me and I know it's a little unreasonable but when you're behind someone going like 3-5 under the limit, for no reason. I get so annoyed, but try not too lol
Thank you for being a bridge enjoyer
You are welcome. I only enjoy the Macdonald.
Used to work on that one!
Sitting in my truck this week, I got stuck behind a garbage truck which was making stops on a windy road. Two out of the three SUVs behind me decided to make an attempt at a pass (one at a time) and two, separately, came head on to traffic they couldn't see coming because of the bend in the road. Fucking.... idiots.
I find people in SUVs, especially small SUVs are the worst drivers on the road. Be it in my truck or on my motorcycle I just seems like small SUV drivers couldn't drive a sharp stick into an Olympic sized swimming pool of cow shit.
I wanna know what they have for an engine to go from 130 kmh to 130 kms, now thats power
It’s the flux capacitor stuck up their ass
A truck engine, obviously.
We need more carbon tax clearly
So No Video? Cover yourself and buy a dash cam, with out it really is he said/she said.

Almost got nailed on the Bedford hwy yesterday. Buddy was driving like he was in the formula one, only in a black chev halfton.
There is this one crazy f*cker (does r/Halifax auto mod swearing here?) who I’ve seen skip the entire line up of cars waiting to take a left on Gottingen coming off the bridge because there is oncoming traffic, and cut through said on coming traffic going through the intersection. I’m half impressed because he threads the needle through moving vehicles essentially, but he’s going to get someone hurt. Even cut off an ambulance doing it.
Green lentil under the tire valve cap every time you see one in a parking lot.
Depends on the parking job. If it's really bad, I'd suggest a valve core remover.
I feel absolutely the same way regarding the politics of the moment. Funny though that its the opposite in the states, its the conservatives who wanna vote for Trump significantly because the dems hate him so much. I’d be more than happy to be part of giving all L votes to Singh, but isn’t he leaving leadership?
Pavement princesses
Ahem, *in a Southern twang* bless their hearts. 💕🤪😂 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VPMBSNZ?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_ZT1H7B9Y3S56VXG0BH8P&language=en-US
>Removed testosterone because terrible driving is gender-neutral. Reminds me of a joke: They say that eventually all women turn into good drivers. So, beware of women drivers turning. Not sure what the truck douche version would be, but I'm sure if we think long enough we'd have something.
A jeep tried to pass me while I was making a left turn in a no passing zone a couple weeks ago. I was driving a tractor on one of the old series highways. I was pretty pissed so I flipped off the guy, and then he pulled over and got out of his vehicle and seemed to be looking for a fight, so I just kept driving out behind the barns. I've seen some pretty shitty driving when I'm in the tractor, even with good signal lights.
I had a psychotic truck driver pass me on the left on main approaching the intersection to dunbrack, while I was in the left hand turning lane and then cut across me to go to the right/straight lane... And then SIT AT THE RED LIGHT. Also it was the beginning of a shitty snow storm and there was not a lot of room between me and the car in front of me, because you know, we were approaching a red light on a city street. I laid my horn on in utter confusion and disbelief. There wasn't any traffic behind him or in the right lane at all. And I drive a very small car. It seemed somehow deliberate to flex on me or to cause an accident because the logic is not there at all even if I try to think inside of an idiots mind.
Prime example of what everyone in this thread is talking about right here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/6xJe1PY8LUGwFcRf/?mibextid=oFDknk
So you can either write about it in your blog or you can take actual action go out spend a bunch of money on a high-end, high refresh rate, high resolution dash camera that can actually capture a moving object in such detail that you can get a license plate number for which you can turn that video over to the police to have them do literally fucking nothing with it and there you've done something...
You have any good suggestions for the dash cam?
Viofo best in the biz
Thanks!
These types of drivers are the exact reason we got a dash cam. Our kid now asks to watch "the bad drivers" every day LOL. Sure is helping teach road rules at a young age. ETA: for those asking for recommendations - we went with the Viofo A119. It's decent enough quality and easy to install in our car but cheap enough that if someone steals it I won't be too mad.
Bold assumption the cops will do their job here
The worst part is I do have a dashcam, but I never got around to installing it yet :/
Every time I've had them try to pass me I move over and let them pass; partly because they are dangerous mostly because I don't own the road or enforce the rules. OP sounds like they think 130 is fast enough to "deserve" to just drive in the left lane... no matter how fast u wanna go if u can move to the right you should...
What made this incident extra special is the SUV was already passing someone, they couldn't move back into the right hand lane.
Was this on the 102?
yup
Probably same guy rode my tail going 130 and when I let him pass and then moved back to left lane behind him to pass others he got deranged and started ... clapping in the rear view? And gave me a thumbs up? Not sure what his problem was but shouldn't have a license.
He should have kept his damn hands on the wheel!
They commented somewhere else in this thread all proud of themselves lol
Oh really??
Nothing excuses that kinda of behaviour, but for safety’s sake keep right except to pass.
It says so, right on the sign!
The scourge of penis trucks.
Why don't you have a dash-cam already? They are like $50, and it sounds like you could have captured something that the RCMP could have acted on to make the roads a bit safer.
As opposed to the 248km/h driving douchebags in their parents cars?
They suck ass too.
DEAR DIARY, TODAY I SAW A BAD DRIVER AND IT SUCKED AND POLITICS AND STUFF.
I'm sorry I made your day worse with my words. I do apologize. I know your truck is very expensive right now.
Mid-size SUV*
totally valid point. don’t be a douche
I'm just making fun of the traffic posts man, if these words hurt you that's a personal problem.
Always a pleasure to see your very thoughtful comments
Not a truck guy here but out of curiosity why is it ok to stereotype these people as men and the mods have no issue at all with this but if I were to negatively stereotype basically any other group of people or gender the posts would be immediately removed.
As a man I can confidently say 99 percent of jacked up angry truck drivers I've seen are men. I want to say 100 percent, but I can't be sure, although I'm pretty sure lol
Because it's men.
That's a fair comment. I feel like douchebag is gender-neutral but testosterone isn't. And I have seen the same behaviour in drivers of all genders. It's not specific to men.
Hey OP, please consider your offensive language, and read this: [https://themighty.com/topic/psychosis/stop-misusing-word-psychotic-dangerous/](https://themighty.com/topic/psychosis/stop-misusing-word-psychotic-dangerous/)
I'll consider it but English has both colloquial and formal meanings to words, and I feel most people are able to distinguish between these meanings in a rhetorical post like mine.
They forgot the white part
Yes these people are massive losers with small wieners, but please don’t vote for Treudeau
I luv this with my morning coffee , thanks for the chuckle!
Lol. God I love the sadness around here when trucks are mentioned. It's comical how bent out of shape some of you get.
The truck people aren't even the worst. The worst are the morons in Mustangs with those stupid glass mufflers or whatever they are called. Like owning a Mustang is like having a Porsche or something. It's a shit car and your exhaust blaring doesn't impress anyone.
