If you see a person coming your way, sit your ass down and fucking WAIT until the car has passed you. Don't be a bloody imbecile. Just wait a second or two. Don't make me swerve and possibly hit another car you fucking impatient dick.
And to think the bullshit from yesterday was bad enough, someone goes and outdoes their stupidity. Well done, you worthless oaf.
Funnily enough, the reverse happened here: http://www.polkcountytoday.com/acc071512.html
I hate stupid drivers so goddamn much.

Are you the one who made that other thread? If people keep having "accidents" around you, maybe you're the one at fault.

you know what's funny, OP? The more stories you tell of harrowing roadway close-calls the more likely people are to think you're a terrible driver.
even if you insist the other guy was wrong people will still think, "jesus, this guy can't drive for shit! I never have as many problems as this guy when driving, it's obviously because he clumsily drives along thinking he has the right of way."

and, bro, if someone cut you off, boo fucking hoo. get mad about it, that always helps.
i predict at least one road rage wreck on your part before the year is out, nub driver.

Tell that to the pickup driver.

Why would they think that? I am inexperienced yes, but I'm not a terrible driver.

What the fuck? The traffic lane has the right of way. The person in the parking lot must YIELD, rather than narrowly avoid hitting someone on their way to work.

Honestly, I don't care about it unless they almost fuck over my day.

I'm a calm driver. I just like to tell Minichan about my encounters with the to4strs on the road.

Right. It's totally my fault as to why the idiot in the truck decided to lift off their brakes before the oncoming car passes.

Your insistence of following the rules to the letter no matter what and as a result charging into danger which you could easily have spotted and worked around if you weren't so stubborn is making the road more dangerous for everyone.

It doesn't matter if the person in the parking lot was supposed to yeald, what's important is that they didn't and you nearly hit them as a result of not adapting to the real-time information coming in through your windscreen.

I had my eye on the truck as I went past it. He stopped until I went near him and he just suddenly decided to go ahead and nearly hit me. I can't really say I didn't expect it, as I have a paranoid tendency to expect the worst things possible to happen on the road, but I was amazed that he followed through. And he didn't do it to go into my lane, oh no. He did it to go into the oncoming lane. He went straight towards me and my car almost got totaled.
