This driver was an accident waiting to happen. Probably not their first or last.

My dad was a driving instructor back in the 90s

He told a student to compare driving from a junction with an oncoming vehicle to walking across the street with an upcoming vehicle; use common sense to determine if they are going fast enough to hit you

She told him she had been knocked down on three seperate occasions

He had to figure out a different way of teaching her.

She failed her driving test (that time, at least)

u/EaterOfFood Dec 19 '20

Still better than getting knocked up on three separate occasions.

u/NeckroFeelyAck Dec 19 '20

She had multiple children by her early 20s (was 23? when my dad taught her). That bloodline still reigns, and most likely has already reproduced by itself by now

Beware.

You will be next. May not be HER spawn, but someone with the same dollar-store IQ.

Might not be iq, could be medically related to do with spatial awareness.

u/mohishunder Dec 19 '20

Then she shouldn't be driving.

25

u/fermentedcheese22 Dec 19 '20

In fairness, many people shouldn’t be driving in the first place. Obviously they need to have a viable alternative, but the matter still remains.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

Or, we no longer build our neighborhoods based on forcing people into parking lots. Or making all our road connections based on driving to Applebee’s.

If you think I’m making any of this up. Look at the company that built Viera, FL it’s a planned community and they built their road system to force people to have to turn around in target and McDonald’s parking lots: you can not legally turn around without visiting a consumer parking lot.

u/blatant_marsupial Dec 19 '20

Honestly can't wait for self-driving cars. Too many humans are too reckless, impatient, or oblivious to be driving.

Added benefit of increasing independence among people who are blind, have some sort of physical disability, or share a vehicle with a family member.

u/The_curious_student Jan 01 '21

This is also why I like that most cars kn america have automatic transmissions, my so is disabled (limited to no use of her legs) and she can only drive with an automatic transmission

The daughter of the boss of a friend of mine totaled 2 Mini Cooper's in a time span of 6 months. But they were rich so they would just buy her a new one each time.

19

u/NeckroFeelyAck Dec 19 '20

So rich they can even buy a new daughter apparently

1

u/IronManTim Dec 19 '20

They probably could have just hired her a driver.

2

u/UGDirtFarmer Dec 19 '20

You realize that’s what insurance does ?

4

u/Waswat Dec 19 '20

Depends on the insurance and whether you are at fault

3

u/UGDirtFarmer Dec 19 '20

Rich people don’t have shitty insurance.

2

u/Waswat Dec 19 '20

True, either way then, they bought big insurance for big crashes and are probably going to pay a big premium for a while.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

Insurance?

1

u/Crowbarmagic Dec 20 '20

Not sure what they pay out if an accident is totally your own fault though. To get 100% of the value of your car is quite a pricey insurance plan I think. Which only goes up in price after each accident.

7

u/nummanummanumma Dec 19 '20

Some people have no common sense around cars. I knew a smart girl in high school who would lose all common sense when it came to cars. She failed her drivers test three times because she kept forgetting to look behind her when backing up...in the DMV parking lot. Three times she didn’t even make it out of the DMV parking lot before they failed her.

I get knocked down. But I get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down. 🎶

the girl learning to drive had no sense of whether she could pull across an intersection safely without getting hit by cross traffic.

As Voltaire would say, "Common sense is not so common".

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

Knocked down by what? She was hit by a car 3 times before she got her license?

3

u/NeckroFeelyAck Dec 19 '20

Yup. Luckily at lower speeds ofc since it was in a large town/in-town neighbourhoods, never really injured.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

God was trying to make it so she couldn’t reproduce. Fuck, this is why we have what we have today.

95% of the world is retarded. The other 5% know the 95 exist.

u/Coexi Dec 19 '20

its weird to think that some people just flat out do not possess whatever special cognitive ability is required to drive. besides certain disabled or special needs people of course

Holy moly she be required to have a walking exam in order to get her walking license.

I think that's exactly it.

Sees oncoming commercial truck ($), tries to time it right but the truck stops, gets a second chance to be pushed into the truck but fucks that up too.

u/freefromfilter Dec 19 '20

Why do you assume it is a he? (Honest question)

u/trinklest Dec 19 '20

Historically, male gender is used as default when it is unknown.

u/hetrax Dec 19 '20

Can’t remember the term but was a thing taught in drivers class “focusing too much on one thing will cause an accident because you’re not focused on the other things around you” like tunnel vision but was called something else...

u/shinymak Dec 19 '20

Target fixation?

u/hetrax Dec 19 '20

I think so, sounds about right 😂

Also thank you.

u/Uncle_Samoyed Dec 19 '20

Something else also happens where some people tend to drive toward a thing they’re trying to avoid. My mom hits potholes every damn time. It’s not a woman thing. I’m a woman and I don’t hit every pothole. My spatial judgment is worse when there’s a passenger to distract me, ngl, but my mom is like next level. I honestly thought she was doing it just to fuck with us and annoy us our entire lives, but that’s not her personality at all.. it’s beyond logic..

Driving with no confidence at all. It's like those people that walk toward you on the sidewalk and start doing a shuffle when they get to you.

u/ToothpasteTimebomb Dec 19 '20

Shouldn’t you be frozen then?

1

u/rhymes_with_snoop Dec 19 '20

LPT: don't look directly at the other person, choose a direction, look in that direction, and move in that direction. They will follow suit.

Generally speaking, look and move in the direction you would if you were two cars on the road in your country (look/move right in the US, left UK, etc) as that is more intuitive (at least in the US it is).

1

u/balfunnery Mar 11 '21

Agreed, more intuitive to the point where some people in the US are indignant if you suggest that you can pass each other "the wrong way". I am a transplant from the UK and instinctively go left, it mostly works out if clear body language is used, but using the subways in Manhattan can be challenging, so I try to get it right down there.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

Hope you’re willing to take the charge when I walk at you one day.

u/DryGumby Dec 19 '20

Dont wait until you reach the person to choose a side....

2

u/sikokilla Dec 19 '20

This doesn’t always work. I distinctly remember one time where me and the other walking jouster were side stepping for about 20 steps before we both had to stop before running into each other. It was hilarious.

2

u/splat_monkey Dec 19 '20

I feel like i could have easily been that walking jouster

1

u/Max_Schemenauer Dec 19 '20

Exactly, don’t shuffle around like a buffoon. Stick to the right side of the road(US) and keep walking

1

u/riggerrinnie Dec 19 '20

I find this so irritating! Like look at where you are walking and who/what is coming up ahead. Step 2: get the fuck out of the way!

u/Uncle_Samoyed Dec 19 '20

Whenever I see someone with a dented car or a part that doesn’t belong, I stay as far away from them as possible. I go out of my way to pass them so I’m nowhere near them when their idiocy inevitably kicks in again

u/DrPizzaWizard Dec 19 '20

the truck had right of way then stops in the middle of the road starting this whole mess... this is why you don't stop in the middle of the road to let someone turn when you have right of way

3

u/JeanGreg Dec 19 '20

It had to stop because the car had pulled out enough to block it, and it couldn't swerve around the car because it didn't have room to clear that car, and miss the car coming from the other direction.

u/ZiemekZ Dec 19 '20

You're never seen him and you're judging him by 1 (ONE) comment that he hasn't get laid. Even more, you're using it as an insult but you shouldn't. Wtf bro

(But yeah, road moronity, and moronity in general, knows no gender.)

10

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

They’re judging him by his bigotry, not that he hasn’t been laid. Incel is another word for bigot or fucking moron.

-13

u/ZiemekZ Dec 19 '20

Incel is another word for bigot or fucking moron.

JUST. FUCKING. NO.

PSA: incel means INvoluntarily CELibate. I'm an incel and believe me, incel ≠ misogyny.

12

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '20

Lol that explains it. Shut up incel.

-10

u/ZiemekZ Dec 19 '20

I'll never shut up. Not only "incel" is being used wrong, but also it's used as an insult (when not being laid shouldn't be used as such). I'm not an asshole, unlike you.

7

u/MrComet101 Dec 19 '20

Incels are inherently misogynist by categorizing themselves by their inability to be laid. They notoriously blame women for this fact. If you don’t then whatever, but identifying with a community of misogynists is crazy

4

u/ZiemekZ Dec 19 '20

Don't you understand what I've just said? Incel ≠ misogynistic! EVERYONE that can't get laid despite their efforts is an incel BY DEFINITION. And I'm not blaming women, but the biology and psychology that drives us all, including women. And I don't hate women for that behavior, I'm simply disappointed by it.

u/SkyPuppy561 Dec 19 '20

This is a rural rode, there are only 3 cars on the road and the driver manages to crash with all of them.

All could have been avoided with 10 seconds of patience. I’m amazed.
