Why are drivers so crazy?

Question

I was just driving home when a guy drove up to 90 MPH just to get in front of me, I got so upset at that guy. Why in the world do people speed up like crazy just to go in front of you, it doesnt make any sense.

Answer 1

I'm amazed that you're shocked by somebody driving 90mph.

We have Cadillac Escalade driving soccer moms on cell phones doing that all day long on Californian roads.

Answer 2

I've a few theories on this.

If they're in a rush , the only potentially valid excuses is that they are rushing to the hospital for some personal reasons, they are late for the first day of an important new job or the cops are chasing them. - believe what you will.

And one must remember, a motorist usually gets their license at under 20 years of age, and unless they make any major traffic violations, they don't get retested for a looong time. Who's to say that they don't start to forget some of the things they were taught or start to relax the rules a bit, over the passing of the years.

And let's not forget my other theory.

Since driving/being inside a car is not always much fun (and at times quite boring), some motorists might want get the journey over as quick as they can.

Their mindset might be - the quicker I drive, the sooner I get out of this "thing".

In that case, a little bit of pity for their situation, wouldn't go amiss.

Still, there are others ways to make the commuting experience a bit less unenjoyable, so speeding is not the best way to approach the situation.

Answer 4

Not crazy just dumb. Or trying to be bad ***.

Answer 5

i know what you mean.. even on side streets where the speed limit is like 30 people go like 50 or 60... it is just crazy and there is no reason to do it... some drivers are so stupid... they turn in front of you and everything... many people on the road are accidents just waiting to happen

Answer 6

How bout, coming back to work from lunch, driving in the parking lot, come around a corner and a guy is on my side of the lane READING a paper. He then has the nerve to look at me like I was in the wrong!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

It was stupid. There is never going to be no stupid. Get used to it and thank your stars  you aren't one of them. You can become one, though, by letting them get on your nerves so much. It's normal to be a little upset, but it doesn't help to go down to their level. Let them go ahead of you and they'll get to the junk yard before you.

People aren't learning how to drive from people who really know how to drive. Idiots are teaching idiots.

If you think this is crazy, watch how they walk down the sidewalk. Now, that's a subject.

Answer 8

You probably did something to make him mad, but don't worry, he's crazy after all, and when you have crazy people mad at you, you know youre doing something right

Answer 9

It seems like 80% of drivers on the road today have a s***w loose and I seem to get in front of them all the time.
