The official real anecdotal automobile stereotype thread

Stopped at an intesection, in left turn lane, watched a toyota truck collide with a Prius, right in the kisser.
One was turning left and other going straight, and I assume the light just went red. Conditions overcast.
Prius was grey, middle-age lady driver, airbag deployed, looked ok.
The approx 1988 truck was black, tall kid driving wearing camo pants, two big dogs in the back. He was rubbing his left shoulder.
It seemed the dogs saw the what was going to happen before the driver, and braced for impact, and seemed to be fine.

Fact is dogs probably have better vision.
I think it's very rude of these citizens to paint their cars dark colors and drive in overcast conditions without lights on, because it is very annoying when they block up the intersections by colliding.

This ^^ is awesome!

I think my latest anecdotal examples come not from specific auto makers' drivers, but their proximity to a Dutch Bros. Coffee Drivethru.

For those in inferior parts of the country- Dutch Bros.Coffee, based in Medford, OR with locales only around the NW- spanks the whole milk out of Starbucks. To be a respected regular is akin to Knighthood, But I digress.

People on a mission for their morning fix anywhere near a Dutch Bros. have become the most self-serving and ignorant group of drivers. And are mostly populated by distracted morons with no knowledge of the spatial requirements of their vehicles. These drivers block the sidewalks, stop in line blocking adjacent roads and leave a couple car lengths of space ahead of themselves. They leave their headlights on and shower all in front of them with LED gamma rays. They take out the drive-up serving window ledge and curb themselves over active sprinklers. The folks at DB get a kick out of these clownshoes- they provide the entertainment for the morning shift.

Tractor trailer jockies that from the slow lane notices you in the passing lane passing and as you come up on him decides to make sure no one will exceed the speed limit so he pulls out in front of you to box you in behind.
I suppose if you spend your day grinding along at 65 you need to entertain yourself, but what a dick way to do so.

x2 for a Coffee thread. I've always drank Folgers/Yuban etc black. Wifey bought a new Keurig & all the coffees are too strong to drink black? I've taken to adding Irish Cream to make them drinkable. I'm finishing off boxes of San Francisco Bay french roast & Kirkland Pacific Bold dark roast. We're gonna try a milder breakfast blend next box to see if I can drink it black. Mocha coffee is good for a treat!

Back on topic , worst drivers are those Canadian cyclists who feel that single file on state roads only applies to U.S. citizens.

To add to the 'people who don't think about anyone but themselves category: people who sit at the curb at night, facing the wrong way, with their headlights on. How hard is it to just leave the parking lights on?
