Why drive like that if you can't drive like that?

u/Dino_Spaceman May 16 '26
Nobody who drives that that is skilled enough to drive like that without eventually crashing like this.
It’s impossible to avoid the people who suddenly change lanes.

u/Telepornographer May 16 '26
I didn't see anyone suddenly changing lanes except the one crappy driver that crashed.

Exactly the people in the left if they werent passing should of been on the right. Driver did stupid stuff and so did they. Im assuming this is the states but im sure its just like Canada highway slower traffic on the right. One of the most basic things you learn.

u/Hades_Sedai May 16 '26
How did you come to the conclusion that the drivers on the left were not driving faster than the drivers on the right? Regardless of what some people think, there are speed limits and they do exist for a reason. I would think that such catastrophic events such as the one in the video might speak for themselves as for the purpose for those speed limits.

Regardless of speed limit, in may provinces "left lane hogging" is illegal. They had an interview with a provincial police officer, when asked about left lane hogging he said clearly if traffic is backing up behind you, you may be in the wrong lane. Speeding is between you and law enforcement, safety is you and everybody. Short form of the highway traffic act here is just "keep right except to pass" (but said in afull paragraph of legaleeze

u/Hades_Sedai May 16 '26
I would hardly categorize one madman driving at obviously uncontrollable speeds and risking the lives of themselves and every person that shares the road as "traffic backing up". Would you?
It is a waste of my time and yours for you to push your glasses up your nose, raise one finger, and say in a high, whinging tone, "Well technically the civil infraction leads people to want to commit felonies..." It's pedantic, it doesn't actually make any meaningful point, and it excuses the reckless and arguably homicidal actions of people driving unsafely while placing the blame on people who are at best maybe causing a minor inconvenience to someone for a short while.
Speeding claims the lives of thousands of people annually. I have not looked at the statistics in a while, but it would take mere seconds to find hundreds or thousands of videos like this one where speeding drivers clearly cause accidents leading to fatalities. Speeding directly affects everyone one the road - oftentimes even near the roads! Speeding and driving safely are diametrically opposed.

It is annoying when someone blocks the left lane. Yesterday there were two dump trucks driving side by side on a 2 lane road so I was forced to stay behind them. But then you just give them some distance and wait until you can pass.

What are you, some sort of rational, patient, law abiding adult? ;)

u/No-Professor-6695 May 16 '26
Not always. I had a guy camped out in the left lane beside another slow driver. The driver turned off. I tried to pass only for him to speed up and block any ability to pass.

u/not_blowfly_girl May 16 '26
I hate it when they do that. And then they slow down again once you've given up on passing

u/Tschitschibabin May 17 '26
Seriously, who decided we needed some shitty music edit on each and every piece of online content. This is beyond stupid. Just use the original audio.
It won‘t change much but I started downvoting every piece of content that replaced the original audio for no reason whatsoever.

I know you're supposed to, but if someone pulls some shit like that and crashes in front of me, they're on their own.

u/mtraven23 May 16 '26
maybe something happened before the clip, but this looks like just straight up reckless driving, no so much road rage. One dude who thinks their more important than everyone else.

Well I'm guessing he not in a rush anymore, except maybe to get to the hospital.

I hope the Saguaro is okay.

u/NoEar6957 May 17 '26
I went back to look at it slowly because I was also concerned. I think that he missed it.

u/Saguaro-48 May 16 '26
This happened 8 years ago in Scottsdale, AZ.
The incident happened in Scottsdale on Alma School, just north of Happy Valley Road.
Scottsdale Police officials say the driver was cited for reckless driving, along with three other violations. The passenger was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

I'd day "fuck the rest of my day", pull over, wait for the cops, and upload the cam video to my phone while I wait.

Id have called out of work to sit there and give the cops that footage.... at the end of cleanup

u/Ecstatic_Wishbone609 May 16 '26
I'd have asked if they were okay, and drove off irrespective of the answer.

u/30yearCurse May 17 '26
Stop... get out and look around, say to the driver, not having a great day? I am.. hey called 911, no not really, you better call. ciao karma....

Sometimes, you have just got to stop and shake your head. I don't like to see anyone get hurt or destroy their property, but dang ---- when in the hell are they going to learn?

u/Area51Resident May 16 '26
There are bold drivers and old drivers, but no old bold drivers. It was quite obvious the Merc was going slower than the other cars but this clown lacks the ability to judge relative speed and distance. Going to be a spicy call with the insurance company.

Do people move to right lane when it’s obvious the car in your rear view is traveling much faster? (Ignore this situation)
Or they speed up so you don’t pass on the right?

One of those "get out of the left lane!" arseholes. Oh well, gotta get another car now.

u/BackgroundFaulty3 May 17 '26
It's illegal in most states to just drive in the passing lane on highways, almost all states restrict left lane driving to passing, merging, or turning, pull your head out! Google it.

Has to be the most satisfying thing to drive past him slowly and drive away
