I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

    People who pull out of parking lots onto roads without stopping. Pedestrian deaths are on a steep incline and this recent behavior is absurdly impatient and unsafe.

    If I were a traffic cop, I would go fucking nuclear on this shit. I would exaggerate the fuck out of those tickets. I’d aim for you to never have a driver’s license again.

    Same with people who don’t properly use passing lanes, and same for people who tailgate.

    All of you are fucking ridiculous, and I hope you lose your privilege to drive an automobile over something small so it makes you as irrationally angry as your behaviors make me.

    Just to add, you should never have less than 1 full car length per 10mph you’re traveling between you and the car in front of you. Generally it should be like, double that.

      While I agree with your point, OP specified “silly inconvenient stuff”. I think behavior that can result in serious injury or death is a little bit outside the scope of the question.

      Can you please clarify what you mean? I just want a better understanding of what driving conditions we’re talking about. Are these parking lots where it’s like a strip mall with one row of parking spots directly in front of the building and you back directly into a road, or are we talking about people gunning it going forward without looking?

        Yeah, sure. Like, someone finished fueling up, and they are driving toward the gas station’s exit into the road which the gas station lives on.

        As they approach the exit, they realize that if they dont stop, they can beat the incoming traffic, so they high tail it out of the gas station to beat the incoming cars without stopping.

        You are required by law to stop before entering a motorway to ensure entry is safe. People are skipping the stop and making a judgement call as they approach the place the law requires them to stop, and are instead treating it like it’s a highway on ramp/yield.

        This has been the cause of a fuck ton of pedestrian injury and death (especially since ~2010 when Obama kinda by mistake made huge heavy cars the most appealing option for automakers when he was trying to force automakers to make more fuel efficient cars [thanks, Obama!]), as these impatient fucks are generally looking at the road and not the sidewalk.

        Doesnt have to be a gas station. Any similar circumstance.

          Yeah I’ve seen people do that and it’s terrifying. In the strip mall case tho I was gonna argue for better civil engineering and fewer blind spots in vehicles when backing. But nope you’re definitely talking about pure driving like you own the entire planet.

      Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it’s also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.

        No, it is your responsibility to get out of the passing lane once you have safely passed the traffic you are passing, provided the left lane is a passing lane. It is not a passing lane when there is a left exit ahead.

        The driver behind you should never have any bearing on the decisions you make as a driver unless they’ve got flashing lights.

          If you are passing a miles worth of traffic and someone behind you wants to pass that mile of traffic faster, move over temporarily to allow that person to pass rather than making them slow down to keep an appropriate distance.

            Nope. And if you begin to tailgate, then I will make sure to increase my safety by slowing down to a safer speed.

            You sound like an unsafe driver.

              What you are suggesting is actually illegal in many states. If you’re being overtaken while in the passing lane you are required to make way. People like you are why they had to make such laws. Quit fucking up traffic for everybody.

                Yes you did you illiterate dolt:

                Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it’s also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.

                Again, it sounds like you’re an unsafe driver, thinking normal and law abiding driving habits are “entitled.”

                Cheers. Maybe read a book.
