I also am irked by the drivers that slam hard on their brakes the instant they see the brake lights of the vehicle ahead of them go on. There are a lot of drivers that don't seem to understand the rate of closure will naturally slow as you coast and you don't need to slam full brakes every time if you have been keeping the proper number of car lengths between your vehicle and the one in front as you should. It's wasteful of gas to drive around slamming the brakes and accelerating hard to get back up to speed all the time.
 
Okay, for real now: people who (over) use high beams.

I personally don't believe they're necessary as often as I see people using them.

As long as I can see the white outward line and the yellow inward line, I'm usually in good shape.

Also, people who don't fucking shut them off when they're coming close to you on the other side. Thanks for blinding me, asshole.

True but then there are people who are absolutely fucking retarded when it comes to driving. My favorite ones are the Sovereign Citizen folks who get pulled over by not having tags or a license plate. Those are so satisfying to watch the vids inevitably end with a broken window, a tazing, and cuffs when all it would have ended with was a lecture and a ticket from a cop.

especially nowadays, the new cars' regular headlights are so powerful. They must be some kind of super LEDs or super halogen or something. Unless it is bad visibility from weather, high beam is redundant.

That was my first SovCit video ever. Sucks that Talisman World was taken down. I usd to literally make popcorn and watch those long ass compilations. Better than anything on cable. Hearing someone yell "I do not consent" when the cops are hauling them out of a car over a minor traffic ticket because they couldn't do the normal thing and just hand over proper documents and get a ticket or probably even a warning is oddly satisfying.

You don't need high beams at all now that you can have multiple high-intensity LED light bars!

I think it's illegal to use them on the road now but that doesn't stop idiots. I've seen the things mounted in so many stupid places and on vehicles where they're completely unnecessary.

The things are blinding when there's one on the roof, one on the bumper, and two small ones where the running lights should be, and they're coming your way at night with all those plus the headlights blazing.

My buddy is a mechanic and he used to do state inspections at this one shop he worked at. This guy had Christmas lights, yes, white Christmas lights all over the top of and along the sides of the bed of his retarded lifted Dodge. In the state of Texas, EVERY light that is mounted or used by the vehicle must work. He failed inspection because quite a few were out. Wouldn't accept it and they just told him he needs to either remove the lights or fix them. I just don't get why he wanted Christmas lights on his vehicle but it was..yeah...just hilarious to hear how it's how the state inspection rules are listed. That and his horn wasn't working either. He simply didn't get the state requires a working horn to pass inspection.
 
Here's one I spotted in the wild:

You can tell he's a serious offroader because of the custom spraypainted wheels and the lightbar stuck right to the hood. Lots of guys here grab up anything with the Jeep name on it and just go nuts because Jeeps are unstoppable. There are no inspections either, so they're all falling apart. They beat these grocery getter Jeeps off road all weekend then drive them around town with parts falling off.

Also, I saw something the other day I thought was just made up for those distracted driving ads. It was about midnight and I was driving in town, lots of cars everwhere. I see the car ahead and in the lane to my right weaving back and forth and a bright light flashing inside.

The light turns red and I end up beside them, it's a girl using a full size iPad as she's driving. Using both hands to text or whatever, wrists at the top of the wheel to steer, max brightness, face about an inch from it. I really wish there'd been a cop around.

I used to know a guy I'll call Al that belonged to the same social group as I did until he got married.

When driving, Al had a habit of being a bit too literal when people said, "Follow me," to get to a destination. To explain, if Al was following behind you and you changed lanes to pass a slower vehicle, Al would instinctively try to move over with you and he usually didn't check to see if there was a car along side of him. I witnessed at least one close call, and I'm not sure how Al never managed to get into a major accident as the close calls never seemed to convince him to check the traffic around him before changing lanes.

Once, our group needed multiple drivers to get to an annual event. Instead of having me drive as usual, our leader instead asked me to ride with Al. Given his aforementioned driving habits, I made it clear I wouldn't ride with him and the reason why. The leader quickly came up with a way to have me be one of the drivers for the event. (And yes, Al still got to be one of the drivers.)

Edited for clarity.

My numbers differ somewhat, I find a lot of people in expensive Krautmobiles seem to think they own the road.

At least they tend to drive fast and no more than ten miles above the speed limit, myself included. ;)
 
Any californian that comes up here. Seems none of them actually know how to drive in the rain and from fall through spring we get heavy, vision obscuring storms. The fuckers will still tailgate you in that weather. Fuck them.

That's not a thing where I'm from, but it sounds like a neat way to get your ass kicked.
 
I like when people are blatantly DUI swerving all around the road and switching from 10-15 under the speed limit to 10-15 over the speed limit. Kind of like old person drivers with a bit more swerving around. It's great to have to follow them on a road with no passing for a good 15 minutes of travel time.

My favorite are the "country boys" who pretend they're hardworking farmers, but really they're just spoiled brats whose daddy bought them a brand new Chevy Duramax that they drive around blowing smoke on things and listening to Jason Aldean and chewing Grizzly. That and driving through actual farmer's fields and doing donuts in yards.

These trucks are typically made totally useless by installing 24" rims, and a 10" chrome exhaust stack coming up through the middle of the box so they can't even haul anything there.

Those trucks are jokes and so are the people who drive them.

Ah, the people who use high beams right after sunset on a road with a decent amount of streetlights.

When I saw them listed in FHM magazine, I realized that I had matured past the point of that magazine....at the age of 16. They had some jackass nobody celeb guy squatting over his truck's tailgate with them in a photo. I just stared down at the page and realized that "Huh, this magazine is fucking infantile as shit..."

It was an odd day.

Oh the videos usually end that way. The kicker is the jackasses are the ones doing the recording to show people "police brutality". My favorite one is of P. Barnes tazing this idiot kid in Idaho because he tried to push past him to get back into court. He was told he can't record the court proceedings and refused to cooperate.
