>>24534486
I don't hate it, but I'm a little freaked out by it. I only got my license about a month & a half ago or so, so I'm not the best yet. Thankfully I'm not that scared anymore.
The thing is that here where I live, most Florida drivers are fucking terrible and are insanely reckless. It's not uncommon for people to get struck & killed from some fucking cocksucker who floors through a red light. I know a lot of people who would've died had they not been so patient to wait out a green light for a few seconds.

I wish it were illegal to use high beams. Why do assholes love them so much? It should carry the death penalty. Also pickup trucks shouldn't be legal to drive either. They're slow and have too bright lights.

Another big thing that pisses me off is parking. I understand how a retarded person might have difficulty driving, but not driving is the easiest part. If they fuck up parking they could just back out and try it again. I always park prefectly straight and dead in teh center of the parking spot like I"m supposed to. It's easy too. I whip in parking spots rather fast, then I watch some fat bitch slowly creep into a parking spot but she is always parked diagonally and part of the vehicle is crossing the boundaries into 1, 2, or sometimes even 3 other parking spots. It's always SUVs too. Why do women like SUVs so much when they only use them to drive and park poorly by themselves? I'd think SUVs should only be used for hauling trailers full of manure while chauffeuring executives around. A little couple would suit these people better, and they might not struggle with a vehicle that's too much to handle as much.

I hate assholes who wait at green lights for no fucking reason. Do you not pay attention or do you forgot that green means go?

If you match their speed traffic flows better.

Driving is awful. There are so many things that could go wrong. Even if you were the best driver in the world, in perfect mental condition it doesn't matter because a large amount of drivers you share the road with will be irresponsible, sleep deprived, drunk, drugged, old stupid fucking normies using their phone, late on their way to work

If you beep at someone for any other reason than avoiding an accident I hope you die.

Some of those led headlights are stupid bright. It's practically high beam on normal setting.

I used to really enjoy it. When things were shit I could just drive around and it was the one space that was all mine. I could just listen to some music and go where ever.

Now, I don't even care any more. My record store closed down a couple years ago, so no more going and looking around and just finding something new to listen to. All my music is just digital, and it's a hassle to be able to listen to it in my car.

Just fucking forget it. I'm done with it. So many shitty drivers on the road. The roads themselves are falling into disrepair. Insurance keeps going up. Been driving my car for 13 years and, even though it's in good condition, I keep worrying that one day it's going to finally break down.

I got sick of the constant road rage, dangerous drivers and frustrating traffic and I brought a bicycle after doing some research online.

I found out that there are a lot of cycling paths in my city which allowed me to circumvent traffic quite a lot, I could also beat traffic in peak hours by riding in the bicycle lane.

My road rage dissipated instantly, cycling is pretty fun - I mean, we all liked it when we were kids. It's pretty much the same thing, although adult bicycles go much faster and are a lot funner than shitty kmart mountain bikes.

I noticed that the exercise, scenery and time to think has made me a lot happier, wakes me up faster in the morning and elevates my mood. My legs muscles are godly and I last longer in the sack too.

As long as you don't get some sort of carbon bazillion dollar bicycle then it's insanely cheap, ever since I sold my car and no longer have to pay for car maintenance and registration I've had a lot more money. It's also super easy to lock your bicycle up to random shit instead of having to spend forfuckingever looking for a parking spot.

10/10 would recommend, pic related.

People who drive pickup trucks are by far the most aggressive drivers on the road here. Much worse than the kids driving their ricers like the whole city is a rally race. Pickup truck driver is typically middle aged male, tailgates everyone, never uses signal lights, exceeds speed limit by at least 25km always. Usually Browning buck logo bumper sticker on truck. Goatee/moustache facial hair. Sunglasses. Cigarette in hand hanging out window.

If the other light is red that means in about 1.5 second my red light turns green. It takes time to move my foot from teh brake pedal to the gas pedal so I need a head start to perfectly exit the intersection. I do hate the guys who stop on the crosswalk though. Pretty asshole behavior. Kind of like people who stay stopped even though the light is green.

Is it really that hard to understand how lights work though? How can you not anticipate them? It's always the same pattern. Green, yellow, red, or sometimes if it's a turning lane it's green, green, yellow, red. Those can be trickier to time because it's not always the same but based on sensors. There is no excuse for normal intersections though.

>>24535377
You'd save more gas by moderately accelerating to a given speed rather than milking it. You'd also save more gas by gaining momentum before the incline rather than flogging the car up the hill at a constant 25mph.

Vehicles are more fuel efficient at 55-70mph than they are 10-30mph. Around 40-50ish you start getting increased efficiency.
>>
>>24535401
They probably expect you to be like this one asshole roastie who smashed up the car my grandmother passed down to my father.

Rather than stop like a logical human being, they want you to just swerve around it. If there's a parked car there? No problem, just total it, because why the fuck would you ever stop?

It's called having a good reaction time and paying attention to when the light turns. Anticipating just leaves room for error, I've seen too many people just start rolling into the intersection when it's still a good 10 seconds before the light turns and they just look like idiots.

It's nto hard to go 25mph if you have a half decent bike. Also my electric bike I converted doesn't have a bullshit speed limiter built in so it can reach speeds of 40+mph. Prety terrifying but it's also a good feeling. Electric bikes are the future. You just have to watch retarded cagers because they think everyone is as slow as them and they turn in front of you trying to cause acidents. This stopped happening as often once I installed bright ass blinking led headlight and taillights though.

>If you're in the cycling lane or riding on the shoulder of the road

there are barely any cycling lanes where i am. cyclists just ride in the middle of the road because they're legally allowed to. on windy smaller back roads it's not really safe to overtake a cyclist even if he's driving on the side of the road, never know if someone's coming around the bend. so basically you get stuck behind these fuck wads.

>>24535781

Cute ones maybe, but certainly not ones they don't like such as snakes, turtles, or turkeys. I know more women who have fucked up their vehicle from hitting an animal than men, and I know more men than women.

Who knew windshields aren't turkey proof? Not women apparently.

I'm in pretty good shape but whenever I do any sort of cardio exercise for more than a minute or so, my balls will shrink up and get that smell, you know?

That and just the slight layer of sweat that you get when your heart rate gets going, I can't stand having that on me for the rest of the day.

Sidewalks are for pedestrians. After nearly killing some 6 year old retarded kid I decided I"m not getting on the sidewalk anymore. Even if not for the kids there's stupid niggers and women who walk slow as fuck and abreast so they block the whole sidewalk.

Maybe if cagers weren't such assholes we'd move over to let you pass but you never follow the 3' law so I keep my ass firmly in the center of my lane or even a bit near the center of the road to ensure noone tries to clip me with their mirror.

It's the worst, a combination of aggressive and clueless.

It's okay to be aggressive drivers if you know what you're doing (see: 3rd worlders where there are a thousand cars weaved together on a small street) but when the majority of the population of old women who wave you through then floor the gas, Shaniqua texting her baby daddy, or idiots who are either mentally ill or drunk at all times, there's a lot of trouble.

I don't hate it but it makes me really scared and nervous.

My brother went to buy a new car today and I had to drive my own back home by myself and my heart was beating out of my chest. I live in a big city and when people ride up on me because they want to go 20 over the speed limit, and their bright lights are blinding me, it causes me a lot of anxiety.
>>
>>24535883

You'd think that, but we let old people drive here, and we have more black people so anytime there is 0.000001mm of ice or snow on the roads it becomes a crash derby. I don't understand how someone could be stupid enough to wreck in winter road conditions when our winter barely qualifies as winter but they do it anyway. I don't even have snowtires on my car yet I get by just fine. Maybe I have to go 50mph instead of my usual 85, but these retards either going 15mph or 90mph, and think braking on bridges and curves improves traction. It's kind of funny. I got to see a couple wrecks happen in slow motion last year. It's like they don't know what ice is.

Fug no. I live near Atlanta and nobody ever pays attention to what's going on. It's a daily occurrence to have to slam on my brakes or jerk out of the way because some soccer mom has rolled through a light and didn't even realize it. Worst part is the standard "sorry, ahaha!" or little shrug they give you every time they come liter inches from maiming you because they were texting or applying makeup.

I'm fine with stop and go traffic, but highways make me anxious after a while. Constantly moving in a box of death. And then it begins to feel suffocating. In the summer I can at least open my windows, but I start to hyperventilate in the winter when I can't open then. Trapped in a box of death.

>>24535944

I found a secret to stop that. First I brake check them a couple times. Usually it pisses them off but they back off and wait until they can pass. If they continue I just go really slow when I know they can't pass, pull in my side mirror, and flip up my rearview mirror. No inconvenience to me but it pisses them right the fuck off. Especially when you floor it when you get to a passing area and then slow down again once they can't pass anymore.

I'm usually easy going but if someone is going to be an asshole and I have nothing important to do then god help them it's taking them 5 minutes longer to reach their destination, minimum.

I actually love driving
Especially at night
Hit like 100 on the express toll highway
No cops
No traffic
Feel like I'm in GTA
Street lamps fly by
No normies or honking
I can pullover and have a snack and continue
>>
I have a license but only drove alone like two times

You don't forget how to do it over time just like bicycling, r-right?

GET OFF MY FUCKING BOARD

shit isn't hard honey. you jack up the car enough to get the flat tire off the ground, take it off and put the spare on. put the jack under the car frame.

otherwise, driving at night and/or in roads I know well is pretty nice

I'm 19 and know how to do nothing for myself. I'm pretty much a kid in an adult body. The worst part though is that I'm still in the mindframe that the world around me is in perfect order and operates by itself without any input from me. So naturally, driving is hard because I finally realized the whole process isn't as on-the-rails as I thought as a kid.

I usually like driving. It requires most of my focus so it distracts me from all of my problems and how much I hate myself
>>
>>24534486

I don't really like it. I live in Central London, so I'm usually stuck in busy traffic, and even though I've sort of gotten used to it over the years, I still get nervous around large roundabouts and stuff in heavy traffic.

Those roundabouts with 6-7 exits coming on/off the motorway in heavy traffic still make me nervous too.
