Time: 13:00
I have noticed many times when on the roads. The absolute incompetence and lack of skill and ability. Most drives have. It genuinely is disheartening. It annoys me so much when people waste gas or make extra ware on their systems.
Truthfully my opinion. They need to slowly integrate advanced driving courses. To learn probability, physics and overall predictive driving theory or spacecraft techniques.
A few examples that made me so annoyed
1: I am driving up to a red light. I see two lanes. The middle lane has 6-7 cars piled up. The right lane has 3 cars.
I notice I am driving about 45-50 mph. The light has been red for enough time. We can predict. It turns green within seconds.
I am also turning right in three lights. So I switch to the right lane. As soon as I do. The light turns green. I begin slightly slowing. I begin to roll up on the cars at 25-30 mph and as soon as I reach half a car's length away from the last car. We all begin to move perfectly.
Though the car behind me has to stop nearly fully and restart their acceleration. Leading to wasting fuel and causing extra stress to their systems.
2: NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS. I SWEAR!!! 😭😭😭😤
When I am on the highway. I normally stay in the far left lane. To signal. I am going extra fast, passing everyone.
I came up on this decent curve going 85 mph. And slowed down just enough for the weight of my car to grab the side I’m turning into and then hard acceleration. Quickly and release.
I then allow the pull of the weight and speed to launch me around the long curve without wasting any excess gas.
3: Another example of what most people can’t do which is like how!!! How!!! The fuck 🤬😨
I came to this stop sign. To turn into major roads leads across towns. 55-60 mph. I saw on car coming far enough I could launch with no probabilistic worry. Though I missed a variable. Reading the car driving in the lane I was turning into. It’s speed.
So it was coming about 25% quicker than I assumed. So when I hit 60 already I launched up to 75. Clearing a perfect gap. Reducing the probability of a collision by 100% when before it was an unknown of 15-20%.
4th: Ok when PEOPLE FUCKING SEE A CAR that is going faster near lead car speed on the left far lane. If they pull over and slow down for a construction site. Omg follow them. Ahhhhh I get so pissed off by this. I noticed every speed trap and informed every single driver about the speed traps, but they did not listen. It’s like they don’t recognize the universal symbols. Such as flashing brights for cops. I don't do that a lot because I don’t have to worry about that. I've already passed them though I flashed my hazards very rapidly to warn where the specific speed traps were.
5th: If you are going to speed know how to do it! Yes I speed at 80-115 mph but I can safely control it and I don’t tailgate!! Also if I see a cop. In the right lane most times they are. I pull up next to a semi and partially slow down until out of site.
If you have such a low opinion of other drivers on the road, why would you believe that this is a good idea? These speeds don't give you much time to react to someone else's unpredictable or unwise descisions. You are going to get yourself or someone else hurt. Slow down.
When I’m driving so fast. It still seems like to me. I’m seeing at 30-40? That’s why I do it. My processing runs so fast. I’ve literally asked police stations many times if they have test drivers for their new vehicles.
I mean, I guess also if like the military needed a psycho helicopter driver, I could do that too. Like you know that clip from I believe either battlefield or Halo where they quickly swoop in I could 100% do that with no doubt. I’ve been training for that since I was young. Any thing such as racing battlefield, anything of that nature, my body inputs that into my brain, and then simulates that in the most realistic Possibilities can using that as a teaching moment for my brain.
And even upcoming due to scientific modification to my brain. I will be able to in seconds picture thousands of replications of different things. Predict every outcome perfectly better than I do now. Almost like a chessboard as soon as I see a new factor, it just starts running
It's not just about reaction times and prediction skills. It's about dissipating all that excess kinetic energy when things go wrong. Vehicle stopping distances necessarily get longer as velocity increases. One inattentive driver's sudden lane change, or a child's quick dart into the roadway, and you'll be wishing you had an extra 50 feet of stopping distance instead of those sharp reflexes.
I mean you do realize. I only speed that fast on the highways? And anything 60 and under. I can nearly stop instantly and on main roads. I only drive 5-8 over how everyone does. Most roads around me are 30 to 40 max sometimes 50-55. Children aren’t an issue. Also stopping at 100-80. Isn’t really that hard. It’s quite easy. I’ve had sudden lane changes and quickly slow down or speed up depending on what’s needed. I noticed all that. The slightest colour change that resembles a car catches my instant attention.
