broooooooce Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 This is going to get me flamed. The worst drivers fall into the following categories: Red vehicles Dodge Rams All Buicks Extremely Expensive Cars Extremely Junker Cars Teenagers Over 50 years old Suburbans (of course, the more of these groups one is involved with, the worse the driver) But all of those pale in comparison to the worst two of all: The handicaped plate/sticker/hangtag And the worst of all, the Jesus Fish. Now I don't claim to be predjudice towards any of these groups, these are just observations not based on humor or any preconceived stereotypes over the last decade of my life, during which I have driven approximately 150,000 miles. Just watch and see... you see a Jesus Fish on a car, watch out... they'll do something stupid right before your eyes... I am so serious--Flame me now, but watch anyway and I'll be right. The best drivers, in my arrogant opinion, tend to drive slightly used imports from the lower mid price range and be in their late 20s and early 30s. [edit: oh, and of course the cell phone people suck... but that's more from lack of good judgement than lack of ability] Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 meh, bruce, my mum's got a mitsu 3000gt... with a jesus fish!!! she's had all sorts of cars... range rover, vauxhall cavalier, some sort of plastic car (i dunno, it's american and it's got plastic body panels that you can kick and they pop out and the headlights are dead near each other.... saturn i think, some sorta really small, low, saturn, like a sporty go-kart ) she's been driving like 25 years or something and has a completely clean license, no accidents, no speeding, no nothing... bit slow at parking, but she CAN park... wouldn't want her to drive me anywhere in a hurry, but she's safe, not slow... my dad's got a jesus fish... heh, i think he has a new intrepid these days... he's got a lotus europa back here in the uk, and has had a lotus esprit s2 (the same model that's sub-aqua in james bond)... ALL with jesus fish on! and me and my dad drive pretty much the same ... so yeah, maybe not 100% legal, i think he's got a speeding ticket too... but still safe... don't knock the jesus fish! (cell phones are illegal in cars now in uk - unless you don't touch your phone - ie, bluetooth earpiece with answer button or car audio cell-phone thingy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasterdly Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Adding to the list of vehicles that bad drivers drive Lexus - Just watch any Lexus for a short period of time and you will quickly realize that normal traffic laws don't apply to them.

ClayMeow Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 (edited) also to the list: Any SUV. especially those driven by soccer moms or japs. EDIT: by "japs" i mean "Jewish American Princesses" (i'm on long island, there's plenty of them....if you're in cali, think valley girls), and not japanese. Just wanted to clear that up, cause i didn't want to appear racist. Edited July 8, 2004 by ClayMeow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broooooooce Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 A keen observation, Dasterdly. The Lexus almost made my list, but they just aren't quite as bad as the buicks and I wanted to try and keep it compressed--but very true! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 Umm.. forget SUVs, how about modded civics with a teenager behind the wheel. I think by the time we finish 'generalizing' ther won't be anybody left. Please define "Jewish American Princesses" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
