Driving for 6 years, same car and the only accident I have been in was when someone backed up into me in a parking lot. But my car is also white, maybe thats why.

Plus I am Asian. So that is like 12 years of experience right? LOL

I drive a black Maxima I think I'm pretty decent driver lol. I'm surprised nobody said Honda civic in that list. About 90 percent of civics where I live are little 1.6 liters with Al Tezza lights and an exhaust, they all drive like they are on a track. I do love to shut them down with my family sedan though lol

That is hilarious, yet the pic of that old geezer isn't driving a Maxima, i can tell by the interior however problly a Buick or a Avalon. I wouldn't be surprise with drivers that drive Maxima, since lately I see owners are young, driving older Maxima. Well with me I bought my Maxima new when I was 25 and now here I am still have my Maxima and I'm in my *ahem* late 30's. Amazing how time really does flies

Lol very funny pic. I think there might be some truth to this though, I drive a black Maxima, and like to think of myself as a good driver and a good percentage of the time I see crazy drivers (aggresive,reckless) they're in a maxima... I don't know what it is... Hopefully it changes

Seriously I agree totally! What was even funnier was what one poster said about the Camry driver:

"It's gotta be the Camry. I always see them in the far left lane going five mph under the speed limit.

But it's got good qualities too. No car better articulates to the world that you have no driving skills, didn't do any research before you bought the car, and basically gave up on your dreams and being an interesting person a long time ago."

Live in Hawaii. You will loathe Mercedes within a day or two.

Everyone has them, yet I wonder if they actually got their license before the car.

HOLY CRAP!

My neighbor that just moved out, drove two Outbacks in the 8 months we were neighbors. And the newer one, was trashed after two months of having it.

I guess that's what you get with a surfer from Arkansas.


I don't really know the answer to that, but you rang a bell in my head!

Haha! It's me, actually, but not when I am driving my 4th gen. She's an ole lady now, I treat her with respect. No, it's when I'm in my Altima 3.5SE. I just cannot resist shutting down people in Mustangs or Dodge Chargers, even the 4.7 V8 Mustang is just neck and neck. I don't live in the US though, I wouldn't want to try that in Texas, they're gun-toting loonies over there. And I am an old age pensioner... don't assume that every old baldy drives like they're in a baby carriage

Yea, those loonies in Texas that enjoy their constitutional rights...

And you keep up with GT's in your Altima huh? Are these Stangs aware they're racing you?

Haven't seen enough Prius to be honest

Today for example during rush hour I was at a traffic light and at the far right (just next to the right turning lane like below).
... This Corolla driver, stereotypical color too, starts forcing the car into that tiny emerging lane until I moved the car a little bit to let it through. I'll see if the dashcam caught any of it

You have a dash cam? Did you just create this diagram?

Yes I hard wired it into the car so it can work in parking mode... Only issue is during extreme cold weather or long time with car (2 days) I can't start the car ... So I just unplug it when I'm leaving car alone for 8-9 hours (which is usually at home) or I set the dashcam to only capture certain things

Using a ITB-100HD

WTF? That's crazy! Cool, but crazy. Are you going on Judge Judy or something?

You just like to record random things?

Mazda 3 drivers take the cake on this one. I have never seen such consistently terrible driving in my life.

Definitely Chrysler Town and Country/ Dodge Caravan minivans. They always seem to be getting in the way of the passing lane :L

Those damn vans really upset me. They are always in the passing lane and going the slowest and when you start to pass them they want to speed up so you can't get in front of them. It's always a lady with the memory foam headrest and both hands on the wheel and a kid in the front looking at you like you're the uncool one. In Houston, I always get bad luck with them.

Oh I must add that older Maxima owners always drive a little kooky as well. I'm uncertain why but when I see 6th gens, they are always racing are darting in and out of lanes.

women in SUVs are the worst drivers, Bimmer drivers are the biggest ******, I also notice a lot of younger males try to speed around in their new Impala or older Cobalt
