Could it be that the the majority of bad drivers are just unintelligent and ignorant?

Question

What else could explain this:

1) At at signal light, why do some people steer their cars to the far right, so that others wanting to make a "right on red" cannot go around them to do so?

2) On the highway, why do some people ride in the left lane-- going "neck to neck" with the right lane drivers so that others cannot pass them?

3) While merging onto the highway, why do some people just poke along on the entrance ramp (not trying to pick up speed), and then hit their brakes and actually STOP if there is oncoming traffic?

4) Why do some people go so under the speed limit and NOT at least pull over and let other pass?

I say that these people are either downright ignorant (stupid), or they are entirely narcissistic, or just plain spiteful.

Do these drivers not realize that if they were not so inconsiderate, that there would be far less backed up traffic? Do they also not realize that normal drivers look at them and think, "Man... what an stupid ignorant moron you are"!

Answer 1

100% stupid people. To operate any vehicle is a huge responsability. Only a stupid does not undestand this fact.

Answer 2

I lost all interest in your question halfway through your first point because it appears as though you are complaining about every single thing that happens to you on the road. You are in fact my worst nightmare. You are the person who regales everyone with story after story, play-by-play, about your commute to work. You will bore everyone with every illegal lane change, every tailgater, every speeder, every person who moves in front of you to take the space that you have so patiently and lovingly crafted for yourself, who drives a tick slower than you, or blablablablablablablablablabla. You are the person who has a life that revolves exclusively around you. You firmly believe that everyone who does not drive like you is a lesser person. I can guarantee you that you have done everything on your list that you are whining about, and no doubt several of them this week alone. My advice to you is to be quiet and drive. Keep your eyes on your own paper. Protect yourself, your vehicle, and your passengers. Don't kill or hurt anyone. And most importantly, get over yourself.

Answer 3

well good drivers are patient so in this case you arent one :)  my only problem with drivers are old drivers! you should see them changing lanes! what a nightmareee!!!  and lets hope no one catches them coming out of the ihop parking lot, cause i dont think they look before mergeing into traffic!!

Answer 4

No. I think it's more a matter of they just don't care about the way they drive. (The bad ones.)

Answer 5

I think they are just oblivious.

Answer 6

sorry, i didnt read all that but... it seems to me u don't care for an answer. u just want to tell us what happened

Answer 7

Nah, I think the majority of bad drivers are impatient.

Answer 8

They may be unintelligent or ignorant, but mainly they just don't care.

Answer 9

Bad driving day? I get it, I have one everyday!

You can't go anywhere anymore, it is way to easy to get a driving license.

Answer 10

Welcome to World of nuts and road ragers

just women drivers

had one pull in front of me today while I was backing out and and then she backed up 2 feet at a 45 degree angle and sat there looking at me???

I looked back at her shaking my head waiting for her to move.

then I just turned my wheels hard right and squealed my tires alittle as I came about 3 inches from her bumper.

why oh why?

Answer 11

they dont have presence of mind

Answer 12

What can you do?

Answer 13

You sound like someone who has a lot of road rage. Those same drivers might be asking

1) Why is someone trying to pass me on the right when there is no lane?

2) Why would I do the person a favor behind me if they are riding too close?

3) Why arent people getting over so I can merge on, not everyone rides on the highway everyday!



4) Why is everyone going over the speed limit when it only saves them 5-10 seconds in the entire trip?

Answer 14

Ask any trucker - they can tell you about all the dumb stuff they've seen four wheelers (people in cars) doing.
