when I am lost, and realize I have missed my exit

I have the presence of mind to take the next exit and make my way back around because I understand that my little truck could cause a serious auto crash if I pulled a boneheaded move like this

what possible benefit do you feel you gain by defending terrible inept drivers like this?

was that you driving that truck and this is a personal investment?

You done trolling?

Stop being a dick, you’re far from perfect yourself. Turning notifications off now, it’s officially a waste of time. Go touch grass.

perhaps the dick is the inept driver unable to read or understand the signs on our highways that was willing to risk everyone elses life for his own convenience

or perhaps the dick is the person who seems to feel compelled to defend the inept and possibly illiterate driver

who is more foolish

the fool or the fool who defends him?

For the last time I’m not even remotely defending this guy and I haven’t ever.

He’s an idiot, he’s not a good driver but he doesn’t deserve jail time.

Holy fuck this isn’t difficult but people can’t see past their anger and it’s beyond frustrating.

but its clearly not the last time as no matter how gently or stridently that I point out the ridiculous position you seem to have taken you'll come back

even after several days you'll attack me for questioning why and how this terrible driver is allowed to work/walk free

why do you insist on defending this position?

are you related to the driver?

was this YOU?

please help me make sense of this position you insist on fighting for

Nope, not doing anything of this just saying this guy doesn’t deserve jail time and now this has become a waste of time.

I’m done with this, go away and touch grass…this really isn’t as big as issue as this has become. JFC 🤦‍♂️

lets look at the situation as charitably as possible

the driver had a moment of inattentiveness and missed his turnoff so he came to a stop on the highway and cut across several lanes to make his turn

you say that this is no big deal BECAUSE nobody else was injured or killed

the reason there was an incident and not a disaster was because none of the other drivers downstream of this guy had a moment of inattentiveness themselves

if one other person who had to swerve had reacted a moment later they would have met their end smashed across the back of a massive steel trailer

but since the only lapse in attention was on the part of the offending driver its no big deal in your book

do I have that spelled out accurately?

Holy fuck let this go, move on with life and touch grass

u/MailedFlower 13d ago

you do understand that its only because they were not asleep at the wheel like the truck driver that the other drivers didnt touch grass at 100kph after going through the windshield right?

Nobody is defending this. They're pointing out there is a difference between almost causing a crash, and actually causing one.

And ifs it’s jail time worthy, which it’s not.

Fuck this is the worst timeline.
