So you drive dangerously because you don't like them over the countless other insane vehicles like minivans. Definitely the sane things to do!
If you think overtaking is dangerous, perhaps you should have your mega-ute taken away
They are the ones implying being antagonizing 🤷♂️
Zero issues with passing.
Lol, found the guy with self-esteem issues
Lol says the pitchfork crowd who have based their identity hating trucks.
I'm deeply sorry for thinking automatically being an asshole to trucks is childish and pointless.
Oh, I am not the danger. I assure you.
If you're being an asshole passing or whatever you mean by 'not courteous' then yes you are.
In my experience, it's the large trucks that are speeding and overtaking dangerously, not to mention driving much faster than the conditions would dictate. A rear-wheel drive vehicle with nothing in the back on an icy road is a recipe for disaster, but I see it all the time.
I've seen cars mostly driving like assholes. Altimas from hell and all.
