BMW aggressive drivers lol

mapleleaf1773 · 07-18-2021, 09:22 AM

These articles crack me up. We are all categorized. Prius drivers, BMW and then everyone else BS???? Obviously the writer of this article hasn't driven a BMW or maybe not a fan of driving at all.

Their next article was a doozy too "don't buy a BMW X-5, buy a Subaru Forrester instead"

Everyone has an opinion.

Me, when I see a clench-jawed soccer mom in a minivan bearing down on me I just GTFO. Anything else I can reason with or outrun.

And to go on a brief wonky side note - this article completely disregards more than 70 years of behavioral science research that pretty convincingly shows that these social behaviors are most strongly affected by situation specifics, not personality traits or 'character'. My personal favorite was one where they got seminary students to literally hop over a faux homeless guy having a seizure rather than help him, because they were late for an important class. So yes, Karen, it IS because we are driving the ultimate driving machines that are tremendously rewarding to drive fast, and if you were in a BMW its likely you would also do the same damn thing.

Seems like an aggressive response to an OP article . . .

Must be some shred of truth.

I don't drive aggressively, I drive efficiently.

Got to be one of the dumbest articles I've ever read…

This honestly makes me WANT to drive like an asshole because of asshats like this.

Exactly. I'm up the ass of the car in front because they keep braking excessively.

Then they go hoofing off at 40 in a 30 zone, etc, but somehow I'm the bad guy...

And recently the same type of asshat I got by driving too slow proceeds to blow a red light. You tell me who's more dangerous.

Hilarious!

bosstones · 07-19-2021, 09:03 AM

I passed a Forester on a 2 lane road this past Saturday. Nevermind that they had been doing 35-40mph in a 55mph zone for a few miles on a Northbound road and slowing the line behind them (of which I was originally at the back of).

We both turned off onto an Eastbound, 2 lane road. I was the car behind them and it quickly became apparent who the pokey driver on the previous road was. About 2 miles in, I was quick to pass them by doing the actual speed limit.

Of the 2 cars that passed them in the passing zone and the 1 that passed outside the zone, I was the only one to signal a lane change/overtake (via turn signal, not middle finger).

I was in the Moupe and first to pass so, of the 4 vehicles, I'm sure I was the idiot...

No one drives more aggressively than the person who could only afford the V6 version of their "muscle" car.

Subaru WRX owners are a close second.

TiMSport · 07-19-2021, 08:56 PM

Don't forget the asshole Camry drivers everywhere. You know the ones, the fake quad tipped ones with lots of black trim options.

erickonphoenix · 07-19-2021, 09:24 PM

In Texas, lifted trucks seem to the most aggressive drivers on the road. They come equipped from the factory with bull bars and LED floods lights. Wounded egos optional.

It's not just Texas mate. If you come across one of these tools, chances are they are jacked-up with flared arches, massive spotlightlights, and every possible off-road accessory known to man bolted on to the side. The paintwork will be factory perfect because these monstrosities have never been off the bitumen. And they will be driving 6 inches off your back bumper.
