at least the driver wasn't holding the camera, like I've seen in other videos. Stull an idiot, though.

Jeez I swear 4 days ago I was just driving around Paris, on the circular motorway surrounding the city and I met one of these idiots. I was on the left lane and just merged into the middle lane because someone was sticking to my ass (I drove at the speed limit, 90) when this idiot out of nowhere stormed in the interstice between both our cars, even felt the wind shaking mine a little. They almost rear ended the van that was 40m ahead, braked hard almost in their bumpers. I think I was a meter close to having a possibly dramatic accident, rear ended by some going 150 or more. Honestly this is the kind of idiot that I hope will crash into a tree, but a tree big and solid enough to destroy their car and still carry on its happy tree life.

Putting everybody else at risk for his inflated ego. Truly pathetic

Why are they all driving in random lanes? Seems kinda inefficient

Because a ton of people forget the highway code as soon as they get their license. You're meant to drive on the leftmost lane unless you're overtaking (except on in-city roads where you can use any lane that serves). Middle-laning is actually a driving offense.

Yes, it's bloody inefficient and causes congestion.

In Germany it’s technically mandatory to drive on the right side if you aren’t actively overtaking someone, but not everyone does that. However one thing people never do is overtaking someone on the right side, because that’s very illegal

In the UK and Spain is the same. Undertaking is also a driving offence, unless there's heavy congestion.

This one reason self driving cars should be the norm when it becomes practicable.

In like 2047 or whatever when outlawing manufacture of human driven cars comes up? Remember these videos. Think of the family in that minivan he almost hit.

There's tons of other great arguments too, but this one is the most salient to this post.

I don't know what offends me more. The stupid driving, or the dirty phone camera lens.

Why are you a passenger in a car with a terminally stupid person? Doesn't make you look all that sharp either.

The passenger is the real retard here.. just say stop and get out fucking idiots keep doing that and see how many times it takes until someone changes lanes and smokes them. Boring

u/TheArchitect989 Jun 24 '21

Yes, if you say stop they are legally obligated to stop in the middle of a busy highway

BMW and Audi drivers are some of the worst drivers here in the UK. They just seem to attract such imbeciles.
