Bad Driving thread

You know the type of person who want to overtake a long truck and then immediately rushes to the left in order to take the offramp?

It really happened. I was overtaking a long truck, and the poofter behind me did just that after passing the truck. Truck driver was not happy about it.

Nearly caused an accident too.
 
Was driving home yesterday and I just did not see the guy in the lane to my right. Started changing lanes and was almost over the lane dividing markers before I managed to see him and swerve back into my lane. Guy hooted. I felt bad.

Don't worry, it happens to most of us, merging into another lane without checking properly for other vehicles.

If you're too lazy turn you head that bit to clear blind spot, get those blind spot mirrors, it's what lazy me does
 

I wish I had a rear view camera too, because she ended up turning right behind me after giving the middle island a death stare. After that sanity prevailed and she did a u-turn to finally head in the correct direction.

is it just me or are those blind spots getting bigger? Thinking maybe those lane avoidance systems have made good visual driving null and void.

Those lane avoidance systems are making people lazy. And when they fail, there's no indication of a failure.

Nice to have though, but I prefer to be old school and have a good Situational Awareness.

What was worse for me was, someone might do that to me, I'd get all upset and glare at them, I'd realise they were being extremely apologetic and then I'd feel bad for glaring.
It's amazing how someone apologizing for their actions can often dissipate our anger; I think what makes most of us proper upset is when someone is in the wrong, and they get upset with you for pointing it out.

I can totally relate to this, if you drive like a pr1ck, own it! if you retaliate and this has happened many times, proceed to ask me " are you the police?" then I will get even angrier than I ever should have been!
Own it, apologise and all is good in the world! Don't almost cause an accident and put people in danger and still try and deflect from your mistakes..a$$holes!!

Don’t know where to post this. What the hell is the licence disk doing there? Looks intentional as well.

What that needs is a Karen to use her lipstick (red to match the car colour) to draw a big X over the incorrect location with an arrow to where the licence disk should be on the lower left side.
 
Just gotten on the road,my infamous 4 way stop, luckily remembered to look left. I think the driver waved/apologized in passing too.

Obviously was dreaming about getting warmer transport

The red robots all around weren't a clue enough

Impatient a bit? Let's go around the outside like Verstappen.
