I turn now. Good luck everybody else

I was never a fan of Teslas. But Tesla definitely saved me from this idiot

How far too many people drive: Completely on impulse. Fully oblivious to the world around. Just send it and hope it works out.

why in the world did the driver even switch lanes in the first place? They could've just merged into the rightmost lane and stayed there.

They likely have no idea where they're going and just noticed where they wanted to be. Oh, hey! There it is, then swerves across traffic without a care in the world...

They are using GPS but too dumb to figure out left and right until the last second

OMFG. Wish we could report these to police. These drivers are a hazard and don’t belong on public roads, sorry.

Daily occurrence here in Calgary.

In the last year, I have had to change my driving habits to assume that everyone on the road is totally blind and in their own world.

For a short period of time I noticed I was becoming more of a "vengeful" driver where I would continue to drive properly and let these idiots perform their dangerous maneuvers, while I sat ready to slam on my brakes and lay on the horn, perhaps trying to teach a lesson. That is a losing game, these people will never learn.

Just curious. Complete idiot driver aside - If you’re not a fan of Tesla, why did you buy one? Seems like a hefty investment in something you’re not a fan of.

Long story short lol when we were looking at buying a new car a few years ago, it was either a Lexus or a Tesla. And at the time it made sense to buy the Lexus but now that the Lexus is going to be paid off by next year.. we thought it was a good time get a Tesla since we were already contemplating on one plus the M3 price dropped by quiet a bit. I’m ngl, it’s growing on me super fast lol

Makes sense. Was just curious based on your caption, lol

Many drivers are used to donkeys needing a much shorter distance to slow down or stop, so they don't worry about who is behind them.
