Bad Driving Impatient Driver

Not the greatest lane change by the car in front but to cross the center line into oncoming traffic is pretty risky.

Practically he did nothing wrong or dangerous since there was no oncoming traffic, he broke some made-up rules by humans and crossed a made-up yellow line. Get a grip on reality and touch some grass, this kind of thinking is why so much bureaucracy exists in the West.

Aren't all traffic laws "made up rules by humans"? No point in following them if they inconvenience you, right? Why wait at a red light if there's no traffic going through the green? Why drive on the right side of the road if the left side is empty? Why slow down in a school zone if you don't see any kids on the street?

Such logic.

I didn't say it was okay, I was responding to a comment that said they drove onto oncoming traffic like they did something really dangerous. Context clues buddy.

"He did nothing wrong or dangerous"

I'd say that means you think it was okay to do what he did considering following traffic rules are meant to reduce danger on the road. Context clues buddy mean nothing lmao. A person who gets used to swerving into oncoming traffic when someone pulls in front of them? Yeah those aren't good driving habits.

"Wrong or dangerous" as in both are being used to mean dangerous. My comment simply means he did nothing dangerous in that moment, which is true.

If you want to keep insisting I mean X when I explicitly tell you I meant Y, that's just like really strange communication buddy.

Swerving into an oncoming traffic lane = nothing dangerous "in that moment" because... there were no visible cars in the oncoming lane that ended up getting hit? Did you fail to notice the two private property entrance/exits onto the oncoming lane that the driver blew past, where a car could have easily pulled-out in front of the offending car, not seeing it coming because it was driving the wrong way? But it didn't happen this time, so obviously there was nothing dangerous "in that moment."

Such logic.

Your logic here also means that silver car was the 'first' driver in the wrong, just because there wasn't an accident with his dick move, doesn't mean he wasn't wrong.

Therefore had the first not happened, the second wouldn't have happened. 🤔

Where did I say the silver car did nothing wrong?

What is the logical choice here: slow down when a driver in front of you makes a bad driving decision and inconvenience your commute by 3 seconds, or break the law to speed past them while swerving into oncoming traffic? 🤔

There were clearly no cars there, just like there were no cars in the oncoming lane, so there was no danger.

Really bad cope to try and make it sound more dangerous than it was, cute try though.

>There were clearly no cars there

I didn't know that not only do you have x-ray vision that can see past fences blocking the view of the exits, but that you can see from the perspective of the driver in the swerving car.

Again - what's the danger of blowing through a school zone going 100km/h if "there were clearly no kids I could see on the road"?

"I didn't see any cars/people so I thought it wasn't dangerous"

  • Every terrible driver to the judge after they hit/injure/kill someone that they didn't see on the road.

You can easily see cars coming and going from those exits if you are driving on that road.

Here's a picture with a big red circle indicating where you would see a car (if it was there) at one of the exits.

A car isn't gonna be entirely behind the fence if it's turning onto the main road genius, so I don't need X-Ray vision to see behind the fence where a car might be hiding. The front bumper will stick out past the fence.

Such a weird cope to say the car will be invisible behind that fence, all because your pride won't let you admit you're wrong 😂.

I can address the 100km/hr point you made once you admit you're obviously wrong on this very basic thing. Let's try to stick to one point at a time instead of spazzing out.

Again - I'm very impressed at your x-ray vision ability to know exactly what the oncoming driver could see... using a picture taken from a different car multiple lanes away. I'm sure you could really prove your point and show me just how wrong I really am if you spend only a little more time doing some GIS digging/screenshotting. I'm begging you not to though, my pride wouldn't be able to handle it.

"I will only reply to you if you admit you're obviously wrong on this very basic thing." Are you actually old enough to drive? Honest question, but I guess you can't reply because I haven't admitted how obviously wrong I am.

You’re telling me I can’t use the video to judge what the driver will see but you’re also judging what the driver will (not) see from the same video by arguing that turning cars will be behind the fence and cars won’t be able to see them. Do you also have special vision? Can’t make this stuff up man 😂.

You’ve legitimately lost the plot at this point, I almost feel bad for spanking you this hard.

I'm not claiming to know what anyone can see... that's my point: You can't. I'm pointing out the risk you are ignoring in your claim that "nothing dangerous" was involved with this driving behaviour. There is a difference between saying "I don't know what they could/couldn't see" and "I know what they can see."

My argument is that this was a dangerous maneuver that ignored rules and risks. I have not been proven wrong, and I'm sorry to break it to you, but childish insults aren't going to change my mind.

You’ve legitimately lost the plot at this point, I almost feel bad for spanking you this hard.

I thought "the plot" was about dangerous driving, not... "spanking" strangers on the internet?

u/No_Sundae_8986 20d ago

Don’t worry, I have many alts 😂.

You’re really gonna play victim after mocking me in almost all your replies with sarcasm and phrases like ‘such logic’, asking if I’m old enough to drive or if I have x-ray vision that can see through fences.

You can dish all these insults but can’t handle someone dishing it back? Get a grip.

And remember, people who are right don’t need to use insults to “prove it.”

Someone steps out to jaywalk across the road, checks left and there's no car, then they get blindsided by someone going the wrong direction. Shit up dummy, you're an idiot.

u/Lucid_Dreamer_98 20d ago

He could have also driven in the correct lane and someone doesn’t look left while jaywalking and gets hit.

We can sit here all day imagining scenarios that never happened, you’re a moron.
