Well, I dislike a lot those driving SMART minicars.

For me, the name means smart-ass people driving them. I mean, there they go in those tiny cars speeding up at 100 miles per hour and don't give a shit about their and others safety.

How about they think they can park wherever they want, as when parking space is parallel to de road but they do it perpendicularly to it between two cars and half of it is in the sidewalk?
They think they can get away by owning a car sample.

I also have a grudge against drivers of those type of cars that are a malformed crossover between a SUV and a family van, such as BMW X3, the owners must have small penis syndrome to buy one of those terrible vehicles and they always drive 10cm from you rear just to tell you "get out of the way, my car is bigger".

It is just me or you can identify certain kind of morons with 99% accuracy by the cars they drive?

 

[POWERSPHERE]

4WDs in the city

 

[Shadybiz]

There is a "typical" Prius driver, I think. 50 mph in the passing lane.

Minivans. Every time I see one in a parking lot, I assume that the owner doesn't know how to drive, so I park away from them. It's wrong, I know, but it's just in my experience.

 

[NoRéN]

People in Hondas with ridiculous modifications.

Oh, and the cookie cutter Hispanic males with their shaved heads, snake skin belts and boots, bumping some narco glorifying bullshit in an escalade or other needlessly oversized SUV.

 

[BruiserBear]

If I'm being honest, pretty much anyone in a super powerful car. Be it muscle car, sports car, high end luxury car, etc.

The reason being that the roads and the laws that apply to them only allow for very limited speeds, so having an ultra powerful engine only leads to conflict between the driver having all this power at their hands, and the laws which really make that power useless.

It often results in those people with powerful cars driving like total douchebags and being highly annoying to those of us who actually wish to follow the laws and drive responsibly.



In recent times I've also begun to feel a certain level of disdain for those who drive massive SUVs. They're so common here in the U.S, and quite frankly they are so unnecessary, that is just bugs me on some level that people have convinced themselves they're actually necessary. I've literally heard mothers claim they need a massive SUV to drive their kid around. lol

 

[Feroce2]

Anyone in a Honda.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Toyota Prius drivers are always the fucking WORST. They are either too slow, too fast, on their cell phone, eating a turkey leg, or tailgating the fuck out of you.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Anyone with a personalized license plate. I don't know why, but every time I see one, it just makes me think they're snobbish.

I actually worked in the same building as this cringe-worthy shit right here:

 

[TCRS]

Mercedes drivers. They think they own the street. And any kind of Taxi driver.

 

[lil smoke]

Balding old fat men in their small red convertibles. Usually dating some pathetic young asian girl.

 

[Willectro]

I hate to say it, as I own one, but pickup trucks have moved away from that rural brotherly feeling to a douchebag contest. No one is impressed by all your off-road mods that have never even seen mud.

 

[pitcairn55]

My dad once told me, many years ago, that all BMW drivers were idiots.

It's genuinely remarkable how few exceptions I have noted to this rule.

Spoiler

If I had the cash I'd join their idiotic ranks without delay!

 

[TedNindo]

In Belgium it's pretty much people driving Audi's and BMW's tailgating or passing on your right. Or people with old modded vw golf's or seat ibiza's with a huge subwoofer in their trunk and a drainpipe underneath it.

The latter are pretty funny at times though. Because I often leave them behind me at a red light in a Nissan Micra lol. I don't care and often do it just for the fun of it. But you can tell it hurt their ego's.

 

[Dr Frasier Crane]

Audi, BMW and just Business-car-type Saloons in general. The biggest bunch of bastards on the road.

 

[SLV]

Y'all got some serious issues, apparently i am the worst enemy of some of you as i drive a Mercedes minivan xD

 

[RC]

People who drive better cars than me.

 

[ezrarh]

Just minivan drivers.

 

[Pedrito]

Anyone with a modified exhaust system. Your Honda Civic is not a F1. Stop trying to make it sound like one.

 

[IISANDERII]

I hate SUV drivers who drive extra slowly over speed bumps.

 

[Wes]

4WDs in the city

Absolutely. #1 on my list too.

I feel sorry for those cars. Probably never even seen a field.

 

[spadge]

And any kind of Taxi driver.

I'm a cyclist, and the taxi drivers here are the most arrogant pricks by far.

 

[kaioshade]

BMW drivers, without fail.

 

[SLV]

Absolutely. #1 on my list too.

Well with the type of "SUV's" that are made these days, who only are SUV's by name, they have no business leaving tarmac or a good quality dirt road anyway, not with stock factory tires and what not.

 

[snacknuts]

Mustangs and Camaros. They're pieces of shit, and the people who drive them think they have supercars.

 

[Mully]

Specifically, people from the NY Metropolitan area who drive Infiniti G35s. Those drivers constantly think they're in the Transporter as they cut people off and drive insanely fast only to see then stopped by the same red light you are at.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Minivans seems to be all driven by terrible drivers. At least in my area.

 

[DBT85]

4WDs in the city

You mean any vehicle with 4wd or just the SUV type cars like Land Rovers and Jeeps?

Plenty of those are 2wd too.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

This car, and the people that drive them:

And I have no idea why the fuck it bugs me so much.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Trucks with lift kits.

Always a redneck. Always an asshole.

 

[SLV]

Trucks with lift kits.

Always a redneck. Always an asshole.

Must be a US thing i guess, over here lifted 4x4 cars are exclusively meant for off-road racing. As they have all the other necessary equipment as well .

 

[str8-h4x]

As a young teen I would often seak and "egg" Ford Mustangs. Can't stand them, and the Douche Bag drivers are absolutely the worst.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

It is a US thing, particularly here in the south. Some may use them for "mudding" but most just do it because reasons.

 

[Alpende]

I dislike dickheads who DON'T USE THEIR TURN SIGNALS ON ROUNDABOUTS OR WHATEVER.

I hate them and I hope they crash against the nearest tree.

 

[Willectro]

I forgot about Mustangs, but you're right. Poor man's sports car, hard not to be a douche-mobile.

 

[SLV]

I see, i just don't get how people can drive them for a long time on tarmac, as they are quite prone to huge body sway, guess they are lifted and the suspensions is hard ? Which would entirely kill the reason to lift it in the first place. I got nothing.

 

[RSP]

Every driver in every car who is using the phone or even worse: texting.

 

[Goodacre0081]

That's the thing. There is no reason. No reason at all.

Well like I said, few that I've seen are intended to actually go off-road so they just put stiffer springs on it. It's just done for the height as far as I can tell.

 

[heliconsoul]

Audi, BMW and just Business-car-type Saloons in general. The biggest bunch of bastards on the road.

Fact. Always right up your backside, no matter how fast you're going.

I'd like to add middle class parents who think a Range Rover is an appropriate school run vehicle for two children. Usually parked right in front of the school in the no-parking zone.

I hate drivers like this. Why? Because they get into the passing lane and stay, going 5 to 10 miles under the speed limit. They hold up traffic, probably because they believe they're the savior of the freeway, protecting motorists from some sort of ghost riding speed demon, when all they're really doing is just making traffic much worse.

 

[SLV]

rap cars

AWww shit, third strike against me

 

[Bob Ross]

Minivan drivers are just terrible 99% of the time and PT Cruiser drivers are terrible 100% of the time.

 

[Anoregon]

BMW drivers, without fail.

This. I don't know if it's a chicken/egg thing. Does getting a BMW turn you into a selfish, irresponsible driver, or are selfish irresponsible drivers attracted to BMW's?

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Wrx drivers seem to always be aggressive assholes. Fuck them.

 

[SLV]

This minivan hating is really depressing

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Minivan drivers are just terrible 99% of the time and PT Cruiser drivers are terrible 100% of the time.

I saw a guy in a PT Cruiser throw a burger wrapper out of his window on the highway. I wanted to run him off the road.

It was a younger, hipster looking guy driving it, too. Who the fuck litters in this day and age?

This. I don't know if it's a chicken/egg thing. Does getting a BMW turn you into a selfish, irresponsible driver, or are selfish irresponsible drivers attracted to BMW's?

It's a little bit of both. Being in a nice car makes people think they have more privilege on the road and free-reign to bend the rules (I actually saw a study on this behavior), but self-centered people will probably be more attracted to cars that have a little bit of "look at me and my money" going on.

On the other hand, they're great driver's cars so they attract an enthusiast crowd as well, who are generally pretty friendly folks.

 

[soepje]

People with big ass 4WD suv´s who only drive in surburban areas/cities.
Note that i live in Europe, so our streets and parking areas are often just too small those things.

 

[Bob Ross]

Also, people that ride Harley's. They always have yo revv them and they're beyond loud. It's impossible to have a conversation with somebody while they're next to you.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Any non-business pickup truck. I give them a pass as they're generally being driven for work purposes, hauling lumber, tools, etc, and their drivers generally aren't too bad.

People who drive trucks for pleasure in the city, though...jesus. Not only do they barely seem aware of how much space their vehicle takes up on the road, they drive more aggressively than SUV drivers and tailgate like motherfuckers. God help you if you're a pedestrian near one of those.

Bonus points if they're jacked up and have oversize offroad tires that will likely never see actual dirt. Those ones are guaranteed to have an asshat behind the wheel.
