I’ve noticed this happening a lot too. People don’t realize how quickly lights change.

Can’t help themselves.

Social media has shredded peoples minds so much that they can't wait at a red light without needing to distract themselves.

Protip: leave a car length gap in front of you so you can drive around them.

the funny thing is how you can always spot drivers on their cellphones. they're the ones going 5-miles-per-hour slower than the traffic in front of them while leaving a wide berth for their inattentiveness, and it's always some kid-looking dude who still dresses like he's trying to impress his friends from high school.

idk I've been seeing a lot of older people who should know better doing it as well.

Couple years ago at my old job, I was talking to a coworker about how we don't touch our phones while driving. He was worrying about his daughter doing it when a old lady piped up and said "We all do it, don't kid yourselves".

its funny, all the offenders i see are on the older side. which surprised me because i expected younger people to do it more, but the number of times ill see some soccer mom or middle aged guy watching a show or straight looking down into their lap is disconcerting

Someone else doing something wrong is not an excuse for you to endanger other drivers. Honk your horn, flip them off, tell them they should have been a blowjob, but don't drive like a shitstain just because someone else is driving like a shitstain

For the love of God, don't do this. People leave too big of a gap as it is and it ends up blocking access to turn lanes when you're further back. Super annoying if you manage to get past it and see people leaving spaces between cars that you could safely parallel park in.
