      People like this deem themselves great drivers, and everyone around them can’t drive. The officer should have taken his license instead.

        These are the people you see doing 20 under the limit in the middle lane for 5 minutes (because they’re looking at their phone) while everyone passes them, then suddenly accelerate as they realize they haven’t been paying attention

          You actually see that a lot. You’re behind a car and it’s slow and swirling a lot. Suddenly they speed up when they realise that they haven’t checked the road in a mile or two.

            Yep. When they’re acting really weird I try to glance at the driver as I pass them. Often see them looking down, or even just looking at their phone on the dashboard

              The weirdest “new trend” i’ve seen is that people use their phones to navigate and their car entertainment system to watch tv shows.

              When i started driving i thought that changing a radio channel or something can be pretty distracting. Little did i know that people in the future are worse drivers and they watch tv when they drive

          This dude is definitely driving a truck, he’s got a camo hat on the dash, he’s taking photos of a receipt while driving. And he posts shit like this

          This dude is doing 90 on the highway and switching lanes last minute while tailgating people, he’s definitely not cruising below the speed limit
