Honestly, looking at the amount of US police videos on YouTube where people are driving without a license, it wouldn’t surprise me that it’s on the rise.

Here in the Netherlands, the cost of getting a license also skyrocketed the past decade. The past few years more people got caught driving without one.

People should be punished severely for that, as well as traffic infractions in general.

I failed my first driving test for not having both hands on the wheel the entire time. Other than that, my driving was flawless.

Not that I disagree with your hypothesis, but it certainly isn't true for every exam proctor.

I drove for about an hour today. On my way I met two drivers who broke excessively. Like every slight bend, they were on the breaks. And this wasnt even on the same road. Two completely separate and unrelated drivers, driving like pricks at 30 miles an hour in a 60 road. Also, assholes who dont give a fuck about lanes. They start of in one lane, hit a turn or a roundabout, and all of sudden they are taking turns like F1 drivers. About 4 of these types of dicks. And last but not least, on my way home, some little boy racer prick in a ford fiesta with go faster fart noises coming out of a gaped exhaust that looked like an only fans chicks arsehole. He was on the motorway, hogging the fuck out of the outside lane. After so many arseholes, I just said fuck it, and drove right up his arse to force to get the fuck out of the way(I know, dont care). And the wee prick had the cheek to look at me like I was the asshole I booted past him.

Honestly, the sheer amount of terrible driving, obliviousness to other road users, and lane hogging is enough to drive you mad. No cunt knows how to zipper, no cunt knows how to indicate BEFORE they start their manoeuvre. No one keeps a 2 second distance. Everyone is just out there, being a fucking arsehole. I exaggerate, of course. The majority of drivers are fine. But theres just so many cunts, it feels like youre driving the fury road most days.

There's also the people who will be driving along the road at the speed limit, and will suddenly slam on the brakes start turning, and then indicate because they've got to their road.

Usually they are in Range Rovers, who's closest they have ever been to off-road is when they have to park in a field that one time in a national trust overflow car park.

I often just want to see their stupid fucking face

Imagine that, but on a motorbike, without indicating or looking, and veering directly infront of you. Then yelling at you for hitting him as you bandage him and your buddy.

I now give a little chirp any time I pass someone if its not super congested.

It makes sense in NL, they can ride a bike or take public transit, but in America, not driving isnt a realistic option.

I used to think i was the cringiest person on reddit. Used to...

"while not realizing that I'm probably not driving any better very often"

to be clear this was meant to be a joke

My "favorite" Houston freeway experience was driving in the right lane in bumper-to-bumper traffic going 95 mph - and getting passed by ten cars on my right, all driving on the shoulder (and Houston shoulders are closer to outright garbage dumps than clear paved lanes).

That's good.
I personally still don't love these comments even as satire but i admit it's not the same thing.

Sadly here in the US it isn’t the cost of obtaining a license. Most offenders aren’t allowed one for criminal violations but continue to drive anyways. It’s mostly DUI offenders.

People: Why care about driving stupid. Who cares if you can not pay for your car insurance?

Do not worry, car insurance will pay for risky behavior.

It's a small thing, and irrelevant to your comment, and I'm sorry for any embarrassment I may cause you. You're using the wrong word. When a car actively decelerates it is braking https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/brake-or-break-difference

Other than that, I do agree with you, I put about 50k km (30k miles) on the odometer each year, and the amount of shitty drivers out there is astounding. The other day I saw an elderly couple trying to enter a roundabout. It was a busy section of road during rush hour. Driver was looking both right and left, instead of just looking left like you're supposed to. They had a clear left, but oh no car is entering the two lane roundabout to our right, we better yield ... Generally roundabouts, it's like people didn't hear about them when training for their license.

They usually just look old.

Radio: "Watch out, there's a wrong way driver on the highway!"

Listener: "One? I see hundreds!"

and drove right up his arse to force to get the fuck out of the way

Sometimes the one complaining about asshole drivers might be one themselves.

Congrats on the reading comprehension, matey. Youll go far in social media land...

Them fuck are you talking about???
