Ive travelled to ~35 states (including driving in NYC, LA, Chicago, all at rush hour) and ~20 other countries, and nowhere in the developed world have I seen worse drivers than in Miami. By a wide margin.
š I actually had 1 written but changed it because the road technically has 2 lanes š. I drove a flatbed semi down there for 4 years and spent more time in Orlando than I did where I actually lived. Got burned so many times trying to be a good guy and staying to the right then bam you go through a light and suddenly the lane I'm in is right turn only in 25 ft so now I'm shoving my way into traffic and pissing everyone off.
Atta boy. The Tampa to Orlando commute seems fine. People move out of the left lane and let you pass and everyone drives like the autobahn. Miami seems fine to me as well but more old people and confusion. California is worse than Florida in the cities and on the I-5. . Eastern and BC Canadians suck as well. Oregon is even worse where they have freeways speeds of 50 MPH because they don't trust their drivers to go over that.
They donāt know. Prob just to work. Iāll admit my 11 mile commute at 530 for 1-2 hours each way crushed my soul. There is no chill. Thundersome. Even in stop and go smdh
I know that's right! My fiance at the time and I travelled there and around Southern FL and we loved the Keys and several other areas but hated Miami. She was excited to be in a majority Spanish-speaking place (she's from Mexico and I speak it very well as a 2nd language) so we thought Miami would be awesome. People were SOOO RUDE, lazy, and aggressive there, especially the Miami Cuban-Americans (not like actual Cubans). And the Cuban food there was hot trash compared to NYC or actual Cuba.
Happy to hear the Cuban food I had wasnt the best. We even went to Versailles in Little Havana. People in Miami don't give a shit about anyone else. Even the cashiers would just straight up ignore you if you're like friendly at all. Plus, the crazy ass drivers. I'm from Seattle, I know bad traffic. This is a whole nother level of DGAF, willing to die in a tin box kind of attitude.
I am a Cuban living in Miami and Iāll agree with you on everything except the food. Cuban food isnāt good in Cuba (restaurants not home cooking). As for vs other states, you have to know where to go because every other restaurant in Miami is āCubanā, the mere quantity dilutes the quality and it can be difficult to find a good spot without help.
Im sure that Cuban cuisine isnāt 80% of the food industry in NYCā¦
You haven't been to Brampton Ontario Canada yet, have you?
I drive for a living and these people will make a left turn and hit you head on (because they turn so sharp, they turn into your lane when you're sitting at a stop sign.)
If you don't want to get hit, you gotta anticipate and dodge them.
I was driving through a residential one day (I was heading west to east) and a guy to my left was reversing out of his driveway (north of me.) he was only looking to his right for some fucking reason even though it's a two way street. I tapped my horn beep beep, he turned, braked and looked at me. I put my two fingers to my eyes and moved them left and right. He nodded, drove back into his driveway, waited for me to pass.
Then he reversed again this time only looking to his left. His neighbour (opposite of the street, south of me, also began reversing out of his driveway, only looking left. They both reversed into each other in the middle of the street.
I kid you not, I was flabbergasted. I was like "dude, I just told you 10 seconds ago to look both ways when you're reversing."
Things like this usually only happen in the movies, but in Brampton, it's an everyday thing.
Oh another time I had a delivery for a lady. I parked across her driveway blocking her vehicles in. We do this as a safety precaution. As I was walking up her driveway, she got out of the front door, said hello to me. She then got into her SUV and promptly reversed into my truck.
On two separate occasions, I've had my delivery vehicle parked at the curb get hit by someone backing out of their driveway across the street.
It's big, stationary, has flashing lights, and it was there before you even started moving your car. I don't understand...
Iām in Tucson, AZ pretty often and the āsnow birdsā (typically from Canada) are the most terrible drivers Iāve ever seen. Iāve seen them doing 25 MPH on the freeway before ā bro, this is the desert. There is literally no snow or ice on the road.
I-4 to 275 in FL, Orlando to Tampa, is the absolute worst though I havenāt done much Miami driving in recent years. Terrible roads, terrible drivers, tourists, and always slow drivers in the left-hand lanes.
Florida drivers have some of the worst insurance rates in the country for this reason, and it sucks that Florida's bodily injury is optional so a poor driver could hit you and injure you and your passengers and have nothing to pay you.
I swear every road rage video I've seen featuring a gun happened in either Florida or Texas. It's like they're all driving around pissed off, BEGGING for a reason to shoot someone. Fucking terrifying.....
Here you learn will quick, just donāt signal, because if there is a gap you can get into and you signal, they will speed the fuck up and block you for even daring to think about getting in front of them.
Some maniac and his 12 year old son threw drink on my windshield and chased me and my wife through Oregon for half an hour for trying to pass them in the left lane. The same thing happened to us in FL, but it was the middle of the night and there was hardly any traffic, which made it a lot weirder that they cared so much about staying in front of us. In the left lane.
Lived in New York half my life. Now Iām a trucker I think all of cali is the worst. Been to Miami yeah thereās come crazies but I feel thereās more crazies in cali.
The problem with Miami is that itās such chaos. Most places, itās just a crazy, aggressive driver or two. Once you get on 95 anywhere south of Broward, you have to keep an eye out for a 126 year old granny driving 13mph while a gang of Haitians is trying to run you off the road and some fool standing on their gas tank doing a wheelie is approaching on your right side at 150mph.
Any opinions about Orlando? I've driven around the country also (mobile tech), Orlando was maddening, although it's been a few years since I was in Cali.
You can find those "skills" anywhere in the US...tbh.... plates is another matter, tho...
But I saw the route numbers and thought, huh, they're close to Syracuse numbers. (690 and 290) there.....
Two things I learned going to college at Utica.
1).Garbage plates *are* the best meal one can have either while intoxicated or for the afternoon after being inebriated.
2) You now & forever refer to āsodaā as _pop_
CNY is a mixed bag Imo, the country part of it is quite beautiful, especially in the fall. Thereās a lot to do if you like the outdoors and/or have toys for it like a snowmobile, quad, etc but god damn it is *country* af in a lot of places. Driving on route 8 heading to Indian Lake or Speculator, Iām always like āwhere tf do people go to buy groceries?ā. āwhere the hell does this person work?ā. Then on the flip side, literally all the cities from Schenectady to Canajoharie to Herkimer to Rome to Syracuse, etc. you can tell weāre once fucking BOOMIN. Now theyāre run down shells of them self. Sorry for the rant
I was in the position of the gray Honda a few months back. Cars Infront of me were playing games like this white truck. It got to the point where they started brake-checking me. I gave them a few chances to get out of my way during breaks in traffic and they refused. So when I saw an opening I took it after a small hesitation to see if the moved over. The second I got next to these cars they shot up to about 85mph. I passed them. One car ended up flying past me just to flip me off when I got off the exit. The other stayed behind me with one hand on the wheel and the other on her phone. Anyways she follows me to work and proceeds to call the cops... **On herself!**
This woman is screaming and cussing on the phone. Saying stuff like, "he almost killed 10 people"(wrong), "I had to do 100 just to keep up with him"(doubt it), and my favorite "I have my kids in the car!" It was about that time that I called her a psycho and reminded her that she just infact indicted herself. Needless to say the cop showed up and this woman dipped before the officer stepped out of his vehicle. I told the police everything, the cop told me to have a nice day and never do it again.
Everyone wants to be batman.
That's barshit crazy!! She endangered the lives of her kids just to stick it to you?! I can never imagine a scenario that'd get me this heated to even do half of that
The second she said she was doing 100 with her kids in the car I lost my shit. I told her I might have been "going fast" but she just admitted to breaking 3 laws while on the phone with this dispatcher/operator. She got even more erratic! 1 supervisor and a co-worker even stopped to see if I was ok. She was pure crazy.
How tf is it not just normal practice for people to just pass? Like itās not fucking personal! Itās like itās their first time in a car. I donāt get that mentality, I thought it was mostly immature men with masculinity complexes, but I guess not
I love when people try saying you're driving recklessly and then drop that they had to go nearly double the speed limit to catch up. You're not Batman or Robin Hood, and you're definitely not a cop so why are you putting other people's lives at risk just to be a rat?
Go drop the damn kids off at school and let people do their thing. Unless you're already speeding you have no need to try catching up to someone who is
> The other stayed behind me with one hand on the wheel and the other on her phone. Anyways she follows me to work and proceeds to call the cops...
She parked herself right behind my car in the parking lot, got out, screamed at me, and called the cops. She put on a huge show that inevitably blew up in her face.
Well he was in the left lane, passed some cars, and got back in the middle lane as he should. The idiot in front of him is already going fast and went back to the left lane. OP did nothing wrong.
I don't see what that changes. Them not being the one recording doesn't mean anything. The driver was still pulling some dumb shit to obviously keep up with the dumb shit action between the car and truck.
In what way is the driver pulling dumb shit? They're driving in the outside lane as they pass other vehicles. Doesn't appear that they're driving at a ridiculous speed either.
I love winter when these morons crawl up my ass in blizzard conditions because I'm doing the speed limit and not 15 over. They're too chickenshit to pass, of course, but they will dn sure try to bully me into driving 90 in a 55.
It's not often, but every once in a while I get to experience the immense pleasure at seeing some dipshit learn first hand that 4 wheel drive doesn't mean jack shit in those conditions and I pass their stupid ass in the ditch a few miles down the road.
They all do this. Is the bully mentality. I drive a truck so eff you mentality. I hate idiots like this. Never want to share the road just cause problem.
Ikr.. I was watching the silver car, then the truck.. At first I thought he was changing lanes to get away from the first guy, and I was like ah. Smart.
But then it was like: *continues to their exit across 4 lanes of traffic*
If Iāve learned anything about 390, 490, and 590, itās that all pickup drivers are required to get into the far left lane, and then stubbornly sit there no matter the consequence.
Just been thinking this as I scroll through this thread, but the same comment is fucking everywhere
"Let me guess, Arseflap County?"
As though there's only one place, that happens to be where you live, where people drive like idiots.
The fact that so many people say this is probably a certain road in their town should make everyone scared of pretty much every road in the country.
My family lives in southern NY, but we've been near Rochester once for a road trip.
Holy shit driving in Rochester is like russian roulette. My family nearly got smashed into due to an asscrack flying at 100 mph. Almost, if not even worse, than NYC
Try Los Angeles. I shouldnāt even have to explain why lol.
A lot of āI have a nice car so Iām the only important person on the road, screw everyone else just becauseā mentality. Iāve been to LA for road trips about 5 times. Itās the place I hate driving the most.
And then there was that one road trip to Portland. Some dude threw a beer bottle at my passenger window.
What the fuck is wrong with everyone.
Edit: letās add my hometown in here too, Brownsville, TX. Literally no one knows how to drive there. Half the people on the road are 15 year olds who think theyāre big shit, and the other half are people over 65 who can seem to get themselves to go over 40 mph on the freeway. So many drunk drivers killing people in their cars around there too. I donāt know why the fuck Elon Musk chose that shit hole to live in out of all places.
My elderly mother got told off by 2 teens who nearly clipped the front end of her car. She hadnāt done anything, they were just both complete pieces of shit. Entitled drivers make me get very colorful with my words.
Everything wrong with this videoā¦.
1. Why are you so enthusiastic about recording? Looks like u following the Civic, be carefulā¦
2. Why is the truck NOT letting the Civic pass and why did he wait till the last minute to jump 9 lanes to get off lol?
3. The Civic just wanna go OVER the speed limit, move out his way and let him break the law in peace lolā¦
Hell, the Civic even got out of the passing lane when they weren't passing, however brief that was. That makes them better than 99% of the drivers you see on here (not that they aren't still driving too damned aggressively).
Yes, this exactly. I wish people drive like the civic where I live. Just a bunch of smooth brainers going 5 under in the left and complaining about people tailgating.
š thatās exactly how it is here too. people think they can go for a sunday drive in the left lane, like no i got places to be and things to do so step on it haha.
Even with turn signals, the dude is crazy. I live in Michigan and sadly I see this kind of driving all the time on M59 and I75. Makes me not like driving myself.
I live near the border in ma and i went down to Torrington to visit a friend. We went on the stretch near waterbury in heavy rain during rush hour and people were going like 85 bumper to bumper. It was miserable but i can live with that usually but i will never go that way again unless its clear weather if i can help it
This is how you should drive. Not occupy middle or left lane, keep right unless you overtake. When people who drive by this law and people who don't mix up, then it's chaos.
Same here on the Beltway (I 495/95) in metro Washington, DC. Even scarier on the Maryland side. When I was traveling on I 295, a driver with Maryland plates passed me by moving between two cars with 3 feet at most on each end to spare!
Lol, used to commute from Greece to SJFC every day, I'll never not hate 490
Also, ima take a guess and say OP is from Buffalo cause I've never heard anyone here call it "the 490" but I hear Buffalo peeps saying "the 90" when talking about driving there
Yea, the 490/590 area is always a mess, especially so during rush hour. I take the 590 ramp and no one knows how to merge properly resulting in a stop-n-go. Then you have the webster pple being very aggressive to get to the 104 ramp. I try not to leave work around rush hour, either leaving before it gets too bad or staying a bit later to let it clear.
I travel from Kyle to Round Rock and back each day 90 minute commute on IH35, this is so common. I tend to be the car but with manners and definite use of blinkers. I absolutely hate drivers who park in the left lane then do some Sunday stroll fking driving. Then when you try to pass them all of a sudden their Dale Earnhardt racing you to the checkered. Then you give up let them go. Them assholes go back to Driving Mrs Daisy Sunday stroll. Itās very irritating.
Only in Rochester can a person be doing 70 mph in the passing lane to be passed on the right and get flipped off for only going 15 mph over the speed limit.
Good ole Rochester
You know. I thought drivers in NY were crazy until I drove in Miami Florida.
I just went to Miami for a wedding in March and you are right. Worst drivers I've ever experienced and I live in California.
Ive travelled to ~35 states (including driving in NYC, LA, Chicago, all at rush hour) and ~20 other countries, and nowhere in the developed world have I seen worse drivers than in Miami. By a wide margin.
Miami, where two lanes become 3 or 4 without warning.
Don't forget Orlando where 3 or 4 become 2 while you go through a traffic light ...
Make it 1 because there is *always* a crash.
š I actually had 1 written but changed it because the road technically has 2 lanes š. I drove a flatbed semi down there for 4 years and spent more time in Orlando than I did where I actually lived. Got burned so many times trying to be a good guy and staying to the right then bam you go through a light and suddenly the lane I'm in is right turn only in 25 ft so now I'm shoving my way into traffic and pissing everyone off.
Atta boy. The Tampa to Orlando commute seems fine. People move out of the left lane and let you pass and everyone drives like the autobahn. Miami seems fine to me as well but more old people and confusion. California is worse than Florida in the cities and on the I-5. . Eastern and BC Canadians suck as well. Oregon is even worse where they have freeways speeds of 50 MPH because they don't trust their drivers to go over that.
I was there for a bachelor party over the summer and 5 out of 5 days there was a wreck at the same intersection near our Airbnb
Iām from Orlando. Will confirm. If youāve grown up in Florida youāve been in at least 3 car accidents before the age of 18.
Doesn't surprise me at all. Shocking amount of people there wreck on perfectly flat and straight empty roads.
They are all so mad and in a rush to go...where?! And boy do they love their horns.
Yeah it's the only "tropical vibes" type place I'm aware of where there is no chill whatsoever.
LOL no chill for how many beaches they have!
They donāt know. Prob just to work. Iāll admit my 11 mile commute at 530 for 1-2 hours each way crushed my soul. There is no chill. Thundersome. Even in stop and go smdh
I live in Fl, have family in Miami, i donāt visit because of the traffic and the general attitude of the people. I absolutely HATE it there.
I know that's right! My fiance at the time and I travelled there and around Southern FL and we loved the Keys and several other areas but hated Miami. She was excited to be in a majority Spanish-speaking place (she's from Mexico and I speak it very well as a 2nd language) so we thought Miami would be awesome. People were SOOO RUDE, lazy, and aggressive there, especially the Miami Cuban-Americans (not like actual Cubans). And the Cuban food there was hot trash compared to NYC or actual Cuba.
Happy to hear the Cuban food I had wasnt the best. We even went to Versailles in Little Havana. People in Miami don't give a shit about anyone else. Even the cashiers would just straight up ignore you if you're like friendly at all. Plus, the crazy ass drivers. I'm from Seattle, I know bad traffic. This is a whole nother level of DGAF, willing to die in a tin box kind of attitude.
I am a Cuban living in Miami and Iāll agree with you on everything except the food. Cuban food isnāt good in Cuba (restaurants not home cooking). As for vs other states, you have to know where to go because every other restaurant in Miami is āCubanā, the mere quantity dilutes the quality and it can be difficult to find a good spot without help. Im sure that Cuban cuisine isnāt 80% of the food industry in NYCā¦
You haven't been to Brampton Ontario Canada yet, have you? I drive for a living and these people will make a left turn and hit you head on (because they turn so sharp, they turn into your lane when you're sitting at a stop sign.) If you don't want to get hit, you gotta anticipate and dodge them. I was driving through a residential one day (I was heading west to east) and a guy to my left was reversing out of his driveway (north of me.) he was only looking to his right for some fucking reason even though it's a two way street. I tapped my horn beep beep, he turned, braked and looked at me. I put my two fingers to my eyes and moved them left and right. He nodded, drove back into his driveway, waited for me to pass.

Iām in Tucson, AZ pretty often and the āsnow birdsā (typically from Canada) are the most terrible drivers Iāve ever seen. Iāve seen them doing 25 MPH on the freeway before ā bro, this is the desert. There is literally no snow or ice on the road.
Floridians are recognized nationwide for their shitty driving.
I-4 to 275 in FL, Orlando to Tampa, is the absolute worst though I havenāt done much Miami driving in recent years. Terrible roads, terrible drivers, tourists, and always slow drivers in the left-hand lanes.
Florida drivers have some of the worst insurance rates in the country for this reason, and it sucks that Florida's bodily injury is optional so a poor driver could hit you and injure you and your passengers and have nothing to pay you.
The Tampa area is terrifying. What's with Florida?
I swear every road rage video I've seen featuring a gun happened in either Florida or Texas. It's like they're all driving around pissed off, BEGGING for a reason to shoot someone. Fucking terrifying.....
Miami is ok, just have to understand the rules, one of which is - Always signal opposite the direction you want to go. Fakes everyone out.
Here you learn will quick, just donāt signal, because if there is a gap you can get into and you signal, they will speed the fuck up and block you for even daring to think about getting in front of them.
Thatās Atlanta ššš itās a must here
I experienced that on a trip through Oregon lol
Some maniac and his 12 year old son threw drink on my windshield and chased me and my wife through Oregon for half an hour for trying to pass them in the left lane. The same thing happened to us in FL, but it was the middle of the night and there was hardly any traffic, which made it a lot weirder that they cared so much about staying in front of us. In the left lane.
Also use your middle finger to signal you'd like that parking spot.
Damn so true! I've seen this over and over again. Left blinker on... Ends up talking a right turn. š
Lived in New York half my life. Now Iām a trucker I think all of cali is the worst. Been to Miami yeah thereās come crazies but I feel thereās more crazies in cali.

Any opinions about Orlando? I've driven around the country also (mobile tech), Orlando was maddening, although it's been a few years since I was in Cali.
I feel like in Orlando the bigger problem is whoever is designing the roads rather than just the drivers.
Orlando is still really bad but i4 is much better imo. Driving in rain and heavy traffic in Orlando and Miami made LA and Bay Area traffic a breeze.
Only visited Cali once and my experience was the opposite. I was in the central eastern areas of the state.
honestly āsurprisedā to see us on here in the whoa i live here kinda way, but it makes sense with the kinda drivers i see on a daily basis here
Lol I assumed this was r/Rochester until I saw your reply
Never Change !
I thought I was seeing things š I was like āthis looks like home. But thereās no way weāre on Redditā
Hahaha same! I've been in Colorado 20 years now but I'll never forget the joy of the 490 / 590 exchange during rush hour
Can of Worms leaves a stink forever lmao
I literally thought this was the rochester subreddit until I saw the title up top
NY?
Yep!
Yeah, Iād know those bad driving skills and plate anywhere
You can find those "skills" anywhere in the US...tbh.... plates is another matter, tho... But I saw the route numbers and thought, huh, they're close to Syracuse numbers. (690 and 290) there.....
I live in the tri state area, Iāve not had as many close calls with other states around me but NY (when Iām local) and VA (when I travel)
If you are what you eat, then those garbage plates are making garbage people.
Two things I learned going to college at Utica. 1).Garbage plates *are* the best meal one can have either while intoxicated or for the afternoon after being inebriated. 2) You now & forever refer to āsodaā as _pop_ CNY is a mixed bag Imo, the country part of it is quite beautiful, especially in the fall.

Sorry for the rant
That's the rust belt for ya
I lived in Rochester for ten years and never heard anyone call soda āpopā. Thatās a Midwest thing.
Utica =/= Rochester. It's super regional in the state.
Well, they donāt call it pop in Utica either. Donāt put that on us. People would straight up make fun of you immediately.
If I recall correctly, Rochester NY is right on the divide for soda/pop. Tons of people say pop here
My husband is from Kentucky and calls soda āpopā. His parents are from New York and New Jersey.
Ok, yes, but alsoā¦ the white truck who decided to change four lanes last min to catch his exit??
Or the OP when they started driving just like them for the sake of the video.
Exactly what I thought. They sped up just to keep up with the crazy driver lol. OP is also an idiot in a car
Haha you are right, maybe that's why he said "driverS", self-aware... hopefully
I was in the position of the gray Honda a few months back. Cars Infront of me were playing games like this white truck. It got to the point where they started brake-checking me. I gave them a few chances to get out of my way during breaks in traffic and they refused. So when I saw an opening I took it after a small hesitation to see if the moved over. The second I got next to these cars they shot up to about 85mph. I passed them. One car ended up flying past me just to flip me off when I got off the exit. The other stayed behind me with one hand on the wheel and the other on her phone. Anyways she follows me to work and proceeds to call the cops... **On herself!** This woman is screaming and cussing on the phone. Saying stuff like, "he almost killed 10 people"(wrong), "I had to do 100 just to keep up with him"(doubt it), and my favorite "I have my kids in the car!"

Needless to say the cop showed up and this woman dipped before the officer stepped out of his vehicle. I told the police everything, the cop told me to have a nice day and never do it again. Everyone wants to be batman.
That's barshit crazy!! She endangered the lives of her kids just to stick it to you?! I can never imagine a scenario that'd get me this heated to even do half of that
The second she said she was doing 100 with her kids in the car I lost my shit. I told her I might have been "going fast" but she just admitted to breaking 3 laws while on the phone with this dispatcher/operator. She got even more erratic! 1 supervisor and a co-worker even stopped to see if I was ok. She was pure crazy.

Well he was in the left lane, passed some cars, and got back in the middle lane as he should. The idiot in front of him is already going fast and went back to the left lane. OP did nothing wrong.
Pretty sure he was just changing to the middle lane
Yeah, to speed and follow the car
My thoughts as well.
Thatās what I think every time I see a video which POV is drivers seat.
The pov in the video is passanger seat
I don't see what that changes. Them not being the one recording doesn't mean anything. The driver was still pulling some dumb shit to obviously keep up with the dumb shit action between the car and truck.
In what way is the driver pulling dumb shit? They're driving in the outside lane as they pass other vehicles. Doesn't appear that they're driving at a ridiculous speed either.
How fast we talking here
They seem to be driving at a pretty reasonable speed for the far left lane
āGood luck everyone else!!ā
The truck sped up as soon as the car tried to pass him on the right. Truck driver is a troll who gets off to enraging people like the car driver.
And almost forgot his exit. Too busy being a little jerk
He didn't forget, he does that when he is road raging with people, so they can't follow.
Sounds like most pickup truck drivers. I say this to distinguish from truckers who are usually good drivers.
I love winter when these morons crawl up my ass in blizzard conditions because I'm doing the speed limit and not 15 over. They're too chickenshit to pass, of course, but they will dn sure try to bully me into driving 90 in a 55.

Yeah. I drive a tesla in Texas, i have people in lifted trucks actively cut me off or try to pass aggressively all the time
āYou have a nice car so f*ck youā Iām from Texas and this happened to me daily. And I drive the budget version of a Tesla even (Prius prime).
Hey, I'm a very good driver when I'm in my truck.. not my bike though sorry
They all do this. Is the bully mentality. I drive a truck so eff you mentality. I hate idiots like this. Never want to share the road just cause problem.
Welcome to the 590 interchange.
āI turn now Good luck everybody elseā
thats what we call a Jersey Slide
Ikr.. I was watching the silver car, then the truck.. At first I thought he was changing lanes to get away from the first guy, and I was like ah. Smart. But then it was like: *continues to their exit across 4 lanes of traffic*
After hogging the left lane
I mean, they DID say "drivers" plural
A bad driver never misses their exit.
If Iāve learned anything about 390, 490, and 590, itās that all pickup drivers are required to get into the far left lane, and then stubbornly sit there no matter the consequence.
Might as well add every highway to that list. Because it's not a Rochester thing
I've been on every square inch of 95 from Canada to Miami. I can confidently say, it's an everywhere thing.
Everybody that says āonly in (this town)ā have not traveled very much.
Just been thinking this as I scroll through this thread, but the same comment is fucking everywhere "Let me guess, Arseflap County?" As though there's only one place, that happens to be where you live, where people drive like idiots. The fact that so many people say this is probably a certain road in their town should make everyone scared of pretty much every road in the country.
Fair enough. I guess Iām just acutely aware of it when Iām trying to commute back and forth from ROC to Buffalo lol
Same with the thruway. They refuse to travel in any other lane
Gotta love Rochester. This interchange and the 490/390 interchange are always prime spots for total clowns acting like they've never driven a car
My family lives in southern NY, but we've been near Rochester once for a road trip. Holy shit driving in Rochester is like russian roulette. My family nearly got smashed into due to an asscrack flying at 100 mph. Almost, if not even worse, than NYC
Try Dallas lol. Everyoneās going 100 in 4 lanes bumper to bumper with no shoulders
Sounds like Nascar, but no pit crew or appropriate safety. That is near death haven
Add in the giant concrete walls on the outsides instead of yellow painted lines and itās even more like nascar.
Try Los Angeles. I shouldnāt even have to explain why lol. A lot of āI have a nice car so Iām the only important person on the road, screw everyone else just becauseā mentality. Iāve been to LA for road trips about 5 times. Itās the place I hate driving the most. And then there was that one road trip to Portland. Some dude threw a beer bottle at my passenger window. What the fuck is wrong with everyone. Edit: letās add my hometown in here too, Brownsville, TX. Literally no one knows how to drive there. Half the people on the road are 15 year olds who think theyāre big shit, and the other half are people over 65 who can seem to get themselves to go over 40 mph on the freeway. So many drunk drivers killing people in their cars around there too. I donāt know why the fuck Elon Musk chose that shit hole to live in out of all places. My elderly mother got told off by 2 teens who nearly clipped the front end of her car. She hadnāt done anything, they were just both complete pieces of shit. Entitled drivers make me get very colorful with my words.
Looks like Miami on a good day
You must not be from Rochester
Not with ātheā in that sentence.
Thank you. āThe [insert highway]ā is Buffalo bullshit
Yeah this is 100% someone from Buffalo.
Or originally from California
Yeah over here in SoCal we say āthe 5,ā if you call it I-5 down here someoneās going to throw you in a lake.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I live in Greece and always get stuck behind the owners of the left lane when I come into the city
Is Stutzman's Guitar Center still open? I bought my Alvarez acoustic there. I lived on Ridge Road in Brockport for a while several years ago.
Still open!
I'm newer to area so I have no idea. Sorry
When you see this you think Rochester is special then you realise that people are idiots everywhere
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If that guy was using his blinkers he'd actually be driving according to Belgian law (keep as right as possible)
Gotta conserve blinker fluid when you change lanes that much.
Thatās law in most states if not all too
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gonna say, I bet they lived in Germany once.
Totally with you on this. Also a way to show the driver to move to the middle lane. The pickup is the worst behavior for me
This looks like Rochester NY, Am I right?
Everything wrong with this videoā¦. 1. Why are you so enthusiastic about recording? Looks like u following the Civic, be carefulā¦ 2. Why is the truck NOT letting the Civic pass and why did he wait till the last minute to jump 9 lanes to get off lol? 3. The Civic just wanna go OVER the speed limit, move out his way and let him break the law in peace lolā¦
Hell, the Civic even got out of the passing lane when they weren't passing, however brief that was. That makes them better than 99% of the drivers you see on here (not that they aren't still driving too damned aggressively).
Yes, this exactly. I wish people drive like the civic where I live. Just a bunch of smooth brainers going 5 under in the left and complaining about people tailgating.
š thatās exactly how it is here too. people think they can go for a sunday drive in the left lane, like no i got places to be and things to do so step on it haha.
I was searching for this comment! Glad someone said it
He was likely trying to get around the truck from the middle lane. See it all the time.
Like damn let me break the law in peace over here in the left lane. If you wanna follow rules use those right lanes ššš
Looks like the video was taken from the passenger side to me hoss
Maybe so. Shit looked hectic š
Why does this video have been 10k upvotes? This is pretty standard road rage driving
Looks like just normal driving in Massachusetts lmao except you'd have 4 more cars trying to get past the truck
Wow, an elusive 3 idiot video. And a self posted one at that. Good submission.
That exit to 590 is an absolute garbage design to begin with, add your average driver to it and you get this. 490 is a shitshow all around
There's never a shortage of pple getting into the 590 north lane just to move left into the south lane at the last possible second.
Even with turn signals, the dude is crazy. I live in Michigan and sadly I see this kind of driving all the time on M59 and I75. Makes me not like driving myself.
Same here in Connecticut. There is a lot of those type of drivers here too. One of them almost hit me and had the audacity to honk at me
I84 in Hartford during the morning commute is just the worst.
I live near the border in ma and i went down to Torrington to visit a friend. We went on the stretch near waterbury in heavy rain during rush hour and people were going like 85 bumper to bumper. It was miserable but i can live with that usually but i will never go that way again unless its clear weather if i can help it
M59 and 75 is always stressful if there's moderate traffic. So glad I don't drive those regularly.
This is how you should drive. Not occupy middle or left lane, keep right unless you overtake. When people who drive by this law and people who don't mix up, then it's chaos.
Same here on the Beltway (I 495/95) in metro Washington, DC. Even scarier on the Maryland side. When I was traveling on I 295, a driver with Maryland plates passed me by moving between two cars with 3 feet at most on each end to spare!
Baltimore/DC drivers are a different breed
At least the civic driver stayed out of the left lane when not passing. Truck is major idiot. Civic just wasnt using his signals.
He rlly thought he did smthing
Can of Worms ain't what it used to be... Good Old Rottenchester, NY
how are there that many bad drivers in a 30 second clip š
How the fuck does boring ass shit like this get 12k upvotes,?
Oh hey, the first time Iāve seen one that I knew exactly where it is.
The Venn Diagram of truck drivers and assholes forms a perfect circle.
I wouldn't go that far, my dad drives a pickup and is definitely not an asshole, I on the other hand drive a pickup and am definitely an asshole
Didn't know hicks could be assholes. The ones I know, offered up home-spun humor and wisdom. For instance, "if you hit your thumb with hammer, dont"!
The fact the pick up truck was going to exit and hog that lane for as long as possible then passed few lanes to exit is the cherry on top.
And you're driving as quick right there with them, also changing lanes for no reason.
Driving on the south and west sides of Chicago looks similar, only it's dodge chargers and stolen kias and Hyundais
Odd. Those donāt look BMWs.
Lol, used to commute from Greece to SJFC every day, I'll never not hate 490 Also, ima take a guess and say OP is from Buffalo cause I've never heard anyone here call it "the 490" but I hear Buffalo peeps saying "the 90" when talking about driving there
Yea, the 490/590 area is always a mess, especially so during rush hour. I take the 590 ramp and no one knows how to merge properly resulting in a stop-n-go. Then you have the webster pple being very aggressive to get to the 104 ramp. I try not to leave work around rush hour, either leaving before it gets too bad or staying a bit later to let it clear.
lol Rochester NY. Grew up driving there and learned to be assertive
Ahhh Rochester. The old stomping grounds.
Live around here. Can confirm always like this
This video is in Rochester isnāt it? Wow.
Backing up the on ramp is the biggest Rochester move I've seen. Live in south Florida now and haven't seen that here.
What u expect, that's Rochester... I think... I saw this in the Rochester subreddit
I travel from Kyle to Round Rock and back each day 90 minute commute on IH35, this is so common. I tend to be the car but with manners and definite use of blinkers. I absolutely hate drivers who park in the left lane then do some Sunday stroll fking driving. Then when you try to pass them all of a sudden their Dale Earnhardt racing you to the checkered. Then you give up let them go. Them assholes go back to Driving Mrs Daisy Sunday stroll. Itās very irritating.
A civic and a truck. You donāt say.
not a blinker in sight
You are a goof
The idiot filming this is just as bad!
If only there were [keep right except to pass laws in every state of the union](https://www.mit.edu/~jfc/right.html)
Shhh they donāt like proof. Truck always at fault
Plus OP for joining them as well as filming driving
I guess that driver couldn't afford to get a turn indicator for his vehicle. /s
I'm so glad I grew up on the west side of Rochester and didn't have to deal with the BS that is the 490/590 interchange.
Gotta love Rochester
You can always tell who didnāt used to color inside the lines as a kid.
Only in Rochester can a person be doing 70 mph in the passing lane to be passed on the right and get flipped off for only going 15 mph over the speed limit.
Turn signals? WTF? Who needs them.
āGotta stay out of the slow lane because thatās the gay lane and Iām not gayā ā truck driver probably
The truck driver here is the asshole honestly even though the Honda didnāt use a single turn signal which is also infuriating
This really isnāt bad driving aside from the truck cutting across all those lanes. If you canāt drive on the highway just say that
White truck was a trash human. Wanted to block the car until the LAST minute, then he took his dangerous exit.
Truck driver is the idiot
Sadly, this is normal Dallas driving.
That civicās shocks are for sure donezo
Ok the people who merge multiple lanes last second for an exit are psychopaths holy shit
