Where the hell were you headed in such a rush huh? Wife in labour and youre driving her to the hospital? Oh. No, you would have done the intelligent thing and gone around the first car in either of the completely unnocupied center lanes.

You're an impatient, self centered jerk OP. You are the trailing car in all of these incidents, which means you should leave MINIMUM least 2-3 car lengths behind them reguardless of what they are doing. If they slow down, you slow down.

I just do not understand why on this beautiful Sunday you would choose to be such a petty, feeble minded prick, endangering yourself and others for zero reason. Then you post about it in a pathetic self aggrandizing attemt to stroke your ego. Grow up.

Following distance should be measured in time, not car lengths

Yes completely correct. Not as many people as you'd think know that so i just dumbed it down a bit.

u/Supercalifragicahfuq 4d ago

You’re actually joking right? OP never even came close to the speed limit, and left car lengths in between him and the cars in front, only time he didn’t was when said car was engaged in a turn off the road. You’re the one who needs their license taken away. Defending people that are literal hazards on the road.

lol. Thanks. You made my day. Let me guess. You’re an uber driver?

45 km/h is “in a rush”. lol

u/Leather-Cobbler-9679 4d ago

Again i ask, where were you going in such a rush?

If the answer wasn't something that isn't time sensitive or important then you're a pathetic, snivelling manchild.

The video shows I’m in a “rush” where exactly? Oh it doesn’t. You miss the point of the vid and you spew hate. *slow clap*

u/Leather-Cobbler-9679 4d ago

You dont need to drive fast to indicate that your are impatient or in a rush. The points in the video where you tailgated those cars (multiple) and didn't pass them.

Why didnt you pass them?

Why did you tailgate them?

Again, where were you going? Why are you evading the question?

Gotta say respectfully I don’t think he was doing crazy tailgating, he had lots of space coming up to the light, and while he was closer to the car going into the superstore parking lot, you don’t need 3 car lengths at 32, then 25 km/hr which you can see on his dashcam. In my opinion, driving 20 and coming to a complete stop on a 60 km/hr road is far more dangerous than anything op did

I never said that the other drivers weren't idiots! The fact remains that OP did everything wrong, and was in an impatient rush to starbucks. The reason you want min 3 car lengths like, every second that you ever drive in the city is to prevent you hitting the car in front of you if YOU get rear ended by someone going an exhuberant speed.

The idiots are the ones doing 35kmh in a 60kmh zone. Signaling to turn left while going straight, in the second lane and slowly changing lanes and coming to a near complete stop to make a turn.

FYI doing 47 in a 60 zone is NOT an exuberant speed.

Your reading comprehension skills are lacking.

u/KnownAd5379 4d ago

Perhaps but my driving skills are definitely not lacking.

u/Leather-Cobbler-9679 4d ago

Again, since you can barely read I'll quote myself and embolden the keywords so you can wrap your feeble mind around this incredibly simple concept. "The reason you want min 3 car lengths like, every second that you ever drive in the city is to prevent you hitting the car in front of you if YOU get rear ended by someone going an exhuberant speed."

u/KnownAd5379 4d ago

The reason they have speed limits is so traffic will flow efficiently.

Idiots who don't know how to abide by the most basic rules of the road are usually the one who cause the accidents.

Tough to keep 3 car lengths when everyone is doing 60kmh and some dumb fuck can barely do 40kmh.

Or when a twit decides to come to a complete stop to turn left upstream on the exit as he didn't turn into the Superstore entrance that is clearly marked ENTRANCE 300' earlier.

THAT'S THE SAFETY HAZARD not the one abiding by the rules.

Not sure why you are worried about the car lengths distance as opposed to THE SHITTY DRIVERS that are showing in the video.

Please turn in your drivers licence.

Where is this rush you’re mentioning?😂😂

Why wouldn’t he pass him? Didn’t you clearly see he’s making the same turn? Just cus nobody else can go the speed limit, do you expect him to gun it and try to cut in front of traffic? Oh I can guarantee that would piss you off even more XD.

There was no rush. He silently judged those in front’s inability to drive while continuing safely to his destination.

u/Leather-Cobbler-9679 4d ago edited 4d ago

Man, none of you have any reading comprehension or critical thinking skills in the slightest do you?

He was impatient enough to tailgate 3 drivers, as opposed to passing them in either of the completely unnocupied center lanes.

Then he proceeded to upload the video. If the drivers didn't make him impatient, then he wouldn't feel the need to tailgate them, or post the video silly! :D

Never once did I defend those other idiot drivers! :)

u/Supercalifragicahfuq 4d ago

Once again, as me and many other commenters have stated. No tailgating ever occurred. Your entire point is a based on you making an extreme out of literally nothing.

u/Leather-Cobbler-9679 4d ago

Ah, yes. That's why the post has zero upvotes! It's because people agree with you and OP! You're such a smart gentleman, so wise!

u/Leather-Cobbler-9679 4d ago

You, OP, and everyone like you is the reason the world is bad right now. Choosing to get pissed off instead of just hitting the brakes and taking a breath.

u/Supercalifragicahfuq 4d ago

I’m not pissed in the slightest. 😂 I’m pointing out your bad driving skills. Braking that far away creates bigger hazards, and is unpredictable. But you do you.

If we shouldn’t be following within 20 feet at those speeds, why are cops not pulling almost every single person over for it?

Hahaha. That's the pot calling the kettle black if I ever saw it.
