Saw an old lady getting out of a BMW X7 M60i (the high performance version). I asked her what made her choose the M60i and she just said “I dunno, the salesman said it was the best one they had”.

    I often see people driving fast cars like Teslas as if gravity will instantly throw them off the road if they turn the car at faster speeds than 10 mph. They brake like 20 seconds before they are gonna turn, then go slowly slowly towards the street they want to turn in to, then they almost stop and turn the steering wheel.

    Not frustrating at all to be behind one of those…

    I think some people dont know how gravity works when they are in a car, so they act like they are controlling an oil tanker, just in case.

            If your speed differs drastically from the traffic flow, you’re a hazard. If you’re unable to adjust your speed to your surroundings, you shouldn’t be driving.

      As a cyclist I honestly applaud this turning behavior ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
