One thing I don't understand is why there are so many slow and bad drivers
I mean, driving is a part of life, especially around me in the country. There's no reason why you wouldn't have tons and tons of practice, right? Most people drive about a half an hour to work every day. If you did that for four years, that'd be 1000 hours of driving if you JUST went to work and back

Yet most people seem to make the same stupid mistakes without thinking about them. The other day I was driving down the road behind someone. He uses his blinker and pulls over to the side of the road so I go to pass him, suddenly he swerves across the entire road doing a 3-point turn without looking and almost hits me. The same thing happened again five hours later with a different guy.

And why the slow drivers? You can go speed limit+10 with literally no penalty, so why wouldn't you? I drive down a 45mph main road at 55mph no problem, then sometimes someone is going 30 or something. They're going so slow I actually have to brake like coming to a stop light, like they're a sedentary object. WHY? You can go faster. It's like being offered an option for 1000 dollars or 500 dollars and taking the 500. Why would you do that?

but that's fucking wrong

>Switzerland here.

Speed limit is very strict, if you go too fast you will get fucked and they will take your license.

But, people tend to drive too slow because they are afraid of the police and all the shit that might happen if they get caught speeding.

That's why Switzerland is the worst country to drive in Europe. Everyone literally drives at 100km/h on highways and some will go to the left lane and drive even slower, since we cannot pass a car on the right we have to slow down

It sucks.

Where do you live, some kind of sparsely populated desert? Bike and public transportation get me anywhere I want to go.

I did both of these the other day. (I actually wonder if you met me)

First was because I had forgotten something and was already a bit late and panicky. Second was because in an area with a lot of stop signs, you waste so much fuel constantly accelerating and having to stop every 10 seconds.

I never wanted to drive, and didn't until I absolutely had to learn at 19. When I did drive, I would always drive just below the speed limit, but now I live in a bigger city and can rely on public transit for everything I need.

I disliked people who are impatient or rushed and are reckless because of it.

I'll drive 55 in a 65 all day, Im in no rush, got nowhere to go

He could turn right from his fucking lane. I don't get it.

I've gotten multiple five over tickets that say otherwise.

Try chilling the fuck out.

Stop trying to find faults in everyone's driving behavior. It makes you look like a dick.

I know I go slower when

there's no point in being angry because no matter what the other person will most likely be oblivious to you pr just not care at all. Also new drivers could be a factor. Just chill man.

Yeah and when you miss the UPS drive three times because you're not a NEET you have to go 25 miles into the industrial park at their regional office to pick it up.

I've found zip cars to be more expensive than regular by the day rentals. Kinda sad, I was expecting them to be a nice replacement.

What state do you live in? I live in Maryland and they literally can't pull you over unless you're going 15 or more miles over. Didn't stop a cop from trying to cross out "15" and write "10", but I contested that shit and won.
