I've actually had a handful of brotrucks purposely stay far enough back that I could see around their nose and I was all :aaaaa:

Yeah, try driving in Europe. Every tiny up themselves shithole town requires their own custom toll pass and mandatory environmental sticker. You'd expect this kind of freedom more in the US but apparently not!

The fun part of this part of the US is that EZ Pass is a separate company in each state, but the passes all work in every state. So that guy is in theory paying every toll 4 times when he rolls through.

In 2005, I crashed a 94 Buick skylark into the side of a brand new mustang due to that. 4 lane road, 30 mph, both myself and an oncoming SUV were trying to turn left across traffic. Couldnt see anything, waited for a bit, and finally went at exactly the wrong time as the mustang came flying around and I hit them in the driver side door and bent their frame. Still feel bad about it

The best part is that they always seem to have their passenger side tires all the way over on the white line to maximize how much of your vision they're blocking. Doesn't bother them because they can just see over you, but you can't see poo poo. The rare occasions when they pull as far left as possible/up against the median so you can actually see a bit are nice.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
Well, that's a first from me. Walking through a parking lot today, lady has parked her car almost but not quite within the lines of a space. She's not even egregiously outside the lines, there's plenty of room between her and the next car, it's just a sloppy job. She's out of her car, looking at it, as I approach she asks "Do you think I'm all right?"

I say, yeah, you're fine, but I warn her that they've really tightened up parking enforcement later and she should feed the meter. She says "I'm just going in and out, I'm not gonna do that." I say okay, but it's a 20 dollar ticket. She thinks about this for a second and says "Okay, but in that case can you do me a favor?" and I expect her to ask me for a quarter, but instead she *holds at her keys and asks me to park her car.*

I declined.

It was a Range Rover driver deciding they didn't want to wait until the garbage truck moved. So they mounted the kerb, drove for 6 feet and tumbled onto their side into a ditch while the guy at the back of the truck looks at them like they're dumb. Amusing video, hopefully someone has a copy saved.

I can only imagine the rear end whooping that driver would have gotten if he'd actually made contact with the bus. Some of those bus operators have a ton of pent up rage and are looking for a good reason to kick the poo poo out of someone.

I watched this on mute but I imagine the sound was “BOING!”

Utterly amazing how the Tahoe driver didn’t even react before the impact. The rig is an rear end in a top hat, yes, but the situational awareness on the Tahoe driver is below zero.

A solid 4 seconds from when the truck crosses the line into the lane until the Tahoe hit it. That's such a severe lack of response I'd wonder if the driver was Mr Magoo. Either way they should probably not drive ever again.

I had a 1995 Buick Skylark in high school, with hosed up paint on that godawful nose. That car cemented my long-term virginity and I'm very happy to hear that one has died.

It's because the cool thing to do is the "gangster lean" which is not really good for actually controlling the car well at all over 20 mph, then mix a terrible driver with physics and you get videos like that.

It's funnier because they have the seat way back and are sat up with no support so are far more susceptible to physics and getting whipped around when they change lanes like a loving maniac. So aside from looking like a twat you look like a double twat when you inevitably stack it on video where you look like you don't understand how seats work as well as being a poo poo driver.
