Current Events > What Vehicles Make You Wary Of The Driver?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Types of vehicles, bumper stickers, adornments, etc.

Other than the obvious MAGA stickers, I actually am uncomfortable about any political candidate sticker. Cop cars, especially unmarked. Any truck that has those hanging from the tailgate. Any vehicle with more than six or so stickers or decals, unless its a professional show type vehicle.

dodge chargers

giant tricked out pickups

Hummers. Ugly and notoriously environmentally unfriendly. Arnold gets a pass for modding them on the latter point but his taste in automotive design is still questionable.

Any hot hatch that has had any aftermarket work.

Guarantee you'll find a total prick behind the wheel.

In order of stupidity displayed

BMW's (Have literally never seen a good driver in one. Never. If you drive a Beemer here's a tip, getting mad because the other cars don't start revolving around you as soon as you start driving is not a reason to drive like a maniac.)
Mercedes
Audi
Tesla
Trumper chud trucks (We get it. You're totally not short and have a huge penis, guy.)
Cadillac
Nissan (Altimas specifically. Why do they always have body damage?)

I've noticed it's primarily luxury car drivers who are thoughtless dicks and assholes on the road (shocking, I know)

Any kind of vehicle whatsoever

lol beemer drivers but it's like tesla drivers think they can save battery time by tailgating

i think the most terrifying thing is florida plates

any emotional support vehicles

This observation in particular corresponds with my own experiences, and thats a damn good question.

I live in Maryland and even though the drivers here in general suck, Nissan drivers seem hellbent on making their stereotype true especially the closer you get to Baltimore

That and any car with blacked out windows where you can't see the driver (still common on the Nissans here)

People who over-tune their cars, adorn it with ridiculous accoutrements.

Going to second Unholy Mudcrab's "any vehicle". I don't worry much about the car and don't attribute shit driving to specific models. Tailgating, rapidly changing lanes to "get ahead", you can always tell when someone's a dumbass/presenting a danger to you or others if you're observant and that dumbass can be anyone.

dodge chargers

The exception is of course this and the Chally bros. Ever since I got a Charger I've noticed other Dodge lads are CONSTANTLY trying to get me to race them... in 35 mph zones and shit. It's stupid. And I'm not doing it. Makes me want to get a Camaro instead because Camaro bros seem pretty chill.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a perfect driver and I like to have a bit of fun every now and then, but the safety of myself and other drivers on the road is paramount. Driving is a serious responsibility and should always be treated as such. When you're rolling a few tons of metal around, even low-speed collisions can prove fatal, so racing around "driving it like you stole it" and just generally being a jackass is dumb as hell. Just not worth it to put lives at risk.

Lots of bumper stickers

Temporary tags and Johnson County, KS license plates

Nissan Altima on temp tags

I absolutely hate semi-trucks. I get by them quickly and leave them a lot of space. I learned the hard way about their absolutely huge blind spots when I got ran off the road by one once.

I drove a v6 Camaro exclusively from 2013 up until last year and unfortunately they are not

It's Mercedes drivers, especially non-sport models. I assume turn signals are a prohibitively expensive option.

As a transplant to Florida I agree.

Beyond that, jacked up trucks with the usual bullshit bumper stickers, flags and window decals.

Vehicles with more dents than wheels and that are making unholy noises.

Diesel trucks modded to smoke more.

Trucks carrying too large of a payload or with things sticking way out the back of the bed.

There's obvious overlap with maga fuckwits, but any car with pro gun bullshit.

Also, Florida plates.

Unless if it's Navy, any military decals have been bad news in my experience.

every tesla ive ever seen has been a scumfuck driver. tailgating hardcore, not signaling, speeding like mad

all of this.

Bikers in the middle of the damn road. We did not do that back then. I mean pedal bikers.

We are not European. Stop it. Quit the roundabout shit.

I was a pedal biker in the 90s. We never did it in the middle of the road if there was traffic.

Edit:Bicycles, not motorcycles.

Pontiac.

And SUVs in general.

Also, what is the stigma of Camry drivers?

Cop cars
Anything with shit hanging out the back/sides
Maga drivers (how are they so consistently terrible?)
Bmws
Any sort of obvious patchwork or lots of bumps/scrapes. These people obviously don't know how to drive and it shows.
Teslas
Motorcycles
Lifted trucks
Baby on board stickers. I get these people are trying to be careful, but a lot of times they're either just unnecessarily slow yet also aggressive somehow.

Really slow drivers. I mean slow.

Vehicles who cannot hold their lane, especially if slow.

Those fuckers with LED headlights.

Also, Auto-Brights are a thing now.

Infiniti

Cop cars. I don't really think about the drivers of cars all that much otherwise.

I have never seen a lifted Dodge Ram that wasn't driving like a fucking asshole.

Anything with a Ram logo

yesterday someone was driving a polaris slingshot through the parking lot at work and blasting cotton eye joe. im pretty sure ive never been more scared of a car, so updating my answer to that

giant American pickup trucks with headlights bright enough to escape a black hole

I'm fairly alert around most everyone but I especially pay more attention when around motorcycles. Nothing against them, I ride them too, I just want to be sure I'm more aware of what is going on for their safety.

I'm also more aware when around semis and make sure to never drive right next to them. Either stay back behind them or get up and move around them and get in front. I never just ride by their side as a courtesy.

There isn't one as far as I know. It's one of the most common cars out there.

BMW's

Murder-lifted trucks (not just for being obnoxious drivers but especially for having said murder-lift)

Had a fucker that was lifted so high off the ground that he literally scraped the bed door on my Ranger and tore the cover.

I know why. Their transmissions suck. Takes 30 seconds to get up to driving speed. The person behind them runs into them

At this point any vehicle with a large flag flying off of it just screams giant douche bag to me(Including Canadian Flags, Thanks Freedumb convoy)

Also most Hummer or Large Trucks tend to be pretty stupid drivers who seem to think they own the road

Lowrider pickups, especially in flood-prone areas.

It's ridiculous how truck owners have managed to weaponize their inferiority complexes.

Pickups and minivans. They each respectively seem to attract the most aggressive male and female drivers. Pickup guy be like fuck yer liberal Prius. Minivan mom be like fuck these kids get out of my way.

ford ranger is the choice of knobheads here

Peugeots, Vauxhalls, Ssangyongs, and the general MPV/small 4x4 driver.

Giant Trucks
Most Toyotas
