Oh the light turned green? Let me not move at all for 5 seconds and then accelerate at a snails pace up to half the speed limit until I reach the next set of lights, resulting in 3 people getting through the lights and then not making it through the next lights before they turn red. And if Im turning, forget about committing to the turn. Youre waiting for 10 cycles before I decide to turn

For me I only had to see one car get nailed right after it turned green to start waiting a second to make sure all the cross traffic is stopped.

My wife does it and I probably should too. It seems like after about a year into the covid situation everybody just quit trying to drive safely. Red is like the new yellow in my area. People just keep going. Yesterday a guy in front of me stopped at a red and the went like it was a stop sign.

When you take 1 second to look both ways and see traffic stopped on both sides, you dont need to accelerate in slow motion to half the speed limit. I have places to be. You can drive at the speed limit or you can shred your drivers licence

I almost always wait a few seconds now because the red light running has gotten so bad that it is no longer safe to just go. It's crazy how brazen people have gotten about it, I see light runners at almost every intersection now, often two or three of them entering the intersection after my light has turned green. Every single day.

I want to know what's with the current trend of merging on the highway going 40.

If you're not doing 65 at the end of that on-ramp, you're doing it wrong.

What's with pickup truck drivers lately?

Drive at half the speed limit at all times, not even hauling anything, because it's cool in hick logic? Then start a flat out fucking drag race with anyone attempting to pass, to keep their fragile masculinity from being devastated.

I swear I was just talking to my wife the other day that drivers going slower than me look for my head to turn to look for an opening to pass and theyll speed up lol

What's really obnoxious is when someone texts me when they know I'm driving and are all "why didn't you respond?" and it's like BECAUSE I WAS FUCKING DRIVING

Half the time I keep my phone in my pocket anyways...

I always make sure to wait a couple extra seconds just for them. The timer starts over if they honk a second time.

No, they're not the only bad drivers, but they do have an above-average proportion of bad drivers, and some particular bad habits are especially likely to come from boomers rather than anyone else. Such as the one TC is talking about.

There's a reason some jurisdictions require people that age to renew their licence far more frequently than younger people.
