The study was in the UK though, they don't have the "stupid big" truck problems we do.

Worst drivers by a mile are women 40+ in my experience. Usually the "soccer mom" stopped dead in a merge lane. Vehicle type is irrelevant.

So true on all counts.

..and as far as those jacked up trucks. They're usually owned by some inbred and illiterate douche.

I agree that Pick-up owners (especially Dodge) are the worst on the road. On Stoney Trail they are usually going 30-40kms above the speed limit driving like they are in a F1 car. Also by far the biggest road rage demographic.

I don't notice it so much with BMW drivers. They are more douche-like when parked.

Yeah, I'd agree with the pickup/especially dodge ram owner generally speaking at least. And LOL at the F1 car comment, so true..and scary. Those things should come with a 110 km/hr governor.

I must be an exception, I see the occasional douchewagon in a big truck but no more than average for any other vehicle type.

I'm a huge asshole on the road, so when I was car shopping there was clearly only one make of car that suited my needs. It really simplified my decision.

Drive Stoney trail from Country Hills (NW) to Metis Trail in the morning between 6:30 - 7:30 am.....you will see many!

Wow, I guess color matters as well.

Twin_cam_turbo, I guess we are menaces on the road.

In our crosswalk study, none of the cars in the beater-car category drove through the crosswalk. They always stopped for pedestrians," researcher Paul K. Piff told the paper. He added that not only were "fancy cars were less likely to stop," but also that "BMW drivers were the worst.

It's expensive to change those brakes and rotors on these cars.

[funkedelic2]

Drivers of BMW's and other high-status cars (including Prius hybrids)

story lost all credibility here

I thought this was interesting though I know it doesn't apply to everyone.

it is pretty amazing how much this relates to the typical Calgarian

I still have to say, though people are more fortunate here, there are definitely a number of those with inferiority complexes who really need to show that they are.

as to drivers? Well there are so many beemer, audi, merc, infinity owners to stereotype but I must admit, if I am ever having to wait at a pedestrian crossing with my dog... its those for popped collar brown guys with the big white framed sunglasses driving a 2 or more generation older coupe of the aforementioned brands that I find the most annoying

I mean while we're stereotyping


that and those rig working low lives who think that their jacked up 3/4 + tons with 35+ mud tires rolling coal are invincible performance vehicles
I just had to pull one out of his truck at a traffic light, because he deliberately tried to antagonize me

lol

end up the guy was a skrany little shit... I walked up to his door and slapped his window, and he just started running his mouth

I told him to get out of his truck... all people are people, but those who think they can live in their little bubble and antagonize people without repercussions need to learn.

plain and simple, someone can reach out and touch you

I respect that if there is something that needs to be settled, and big boy words won't do it... bear down and give or take a lickin...

probably why I've had more fights than I should...
"I" always fishing the fight with taking out their keys and tossing them into the ditch or the other oncoming traffic lane

Ohhh I'm with ya there, regardless of what you drive, there's gotta be consequences to being brave from a distance. I knew a kid with a huge lifted truck, actually called me a few times expecting me to back him up when someone would start following him cuz he was such a douchebag on the road lol but nahh lately I try to avoid situations that are gonna get me in trouble, pardon is mere months away so last thing I need is a road rage charge lol so even tho I drive a douchebag lifted diesel I don't go out of my way to aggravate people, those rich fucks in high end sports cars have their own set of problems that I prolly never will lol I get way more satisfaction these days out of feeling someone's hate and watching them boil over as I remain calm lol but if it comes down to self-defense with witnesses, cuz some salmon shirt wearing faggot in a BMW has a problem with trucks, I'll take a few hits for sure haha

[DeleriousZ]

You guys have some serious anger issues...

This is just it. A guy acting like a dick in traffic is just not worth getting a road rage /assault charge.

I won't hit a guy unless he agrees to go

funny, i'd say about 30% of the time, this will happen and as long as a witness is there to say, this was condoned on both sides

its go time
