No. It's more of a "as expected SMH"

Cars are deadly weapons that could kill others very easily.

So when I see someone who is wielding a deadly weapon in a manner that could easily kill another, there is no wiggle room to give the wielder "slack."

It'd be like asking a rifle range to cut you some slack when you feel like waving a loaded pistol around with your hand on the trigger.

Much like an obvious drunk, the correct thing to do is get ahead of that driver as soon as possible, or drift back quite a bit if passing is impractical or too risky.

Absolutely not. I judge them more harshly, if anything. Get over yourself and get off the damn road if you're no longer capable of driving on it safely.

There's a difference between running stop signs and making a poor u-turn that requires backing up.

And since they are poor drivers, they're likely backing up in an unsafe manner... like forgetting to put the car into reverse, or slamming the gas on when someone is behind them, or turning the steering wheel the wrong direction, etc, etc, etc.

All of which is potentially deadly if there are other people around. And the thread is about you seeing a driver making a stupid mistake... so you *ARE AROUND THE BAD DRIVER*.

Meaning your life is potentially in danger.

Fuck no. If anything, that's worse. Young drivers are still learning. Older drivers who've had years of practice should know better. If they've reached the point where they are no longer capable of retaining the knowledge and habits to drive safely, they should no longer hold a driver's licence.

I voted no because I give a little slack to most other drivers. I yell a lot, but I don't cut them off or anything.
