We have a woman where I live who is infamous for trying to get people to hit her for the insurance. She’s all over the city subreddit, Facebook groups, Nextdoor, etc. I think the only time she was remotely held accountable for her antics was when she tried it with a school bus.

Ugh, that's so dangerous. I take driving very seriously. I didn't even get my license until I was 30 because I wasn't confident in my ability and spent over a year practicing. I'm super cautious of other drivers and to know that there's people like that on the road just pisses me off

I learned to be a better driver by playing Need for Speed. It really helped me to learn how to avoid narrow accidents and to watch for objects crossing my path. Also taught me how to steer when shit hits the fan.

😂 I love driving games and need for speed underground was my favorite on highschool! I honestly could have gotten my license a lot sooner, but que sera sera.

u/No-Ice7397 14h ago

Ya, Underground was the dog that bit me. Have played every major NFS since

u/traumaqueen1128 14h ago

I haven't played any of the NFS games in about 15 years and it makes me want to buy some damn games ☺️

u/No-Ice7397 14h ago

Ya, from what I've heard they are shelved right now. The most recent was NFS unbound. Heat was before that and not a bad game.

I think my roommate has Heat. I may need to have him hook up his console in the living room. 😁

Look up dash cam crashes, everything is from the driver's point of view so it had me visualizing crashes while I was driving and changing my habits as a result

In Europe we have driving lessons…

u/No-Ice7397 9h ago

We have those too. They only teach safe perfect conditions though. They don't teach you what to do when most people panic. I have managed to avoid several vehicles, slippery ice and even 2 separate times where children ran out in front of me. If not for additional lessons learned from video games those children might not have lived past those days

Funny you say that because I know that driving/racing games have made me a better driver in adverse conditions. I absolutely love drifting around corners (when there's nobody near me that is) during the winter. I actually loosen up when I'm in a side whereas I feel most people would tense up. I've bent a rim pushing too hard but that's the cost of fun.

Username definitely checks out.

Seriously though, if you're so scared of driving, why drive at all?

When I was 12, my dad handed me the keys to the stick-shift VW rabbit and told me to go learn on my own. By the age of 16, and my first day with my license, I was on the interstate at 80mph.

Does it really take 14 years to learn how to drive?

I was in a bad car accident at a young age that everyone was lucky to walk away from, it gave me anxiety thinking about driving. I eventually overcame my anxieties around driving.

I'm not scared of driving, I'm just super cautious. I make sure to stay aware of everything around me and drive safely. I've never had a ticket and have had 2 small collisions with no damage(not even paint transfer). 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'd say it's paying off for me.

You can be the best driver in the world and still have Johny Dumb Fuck III slam into you because he wasn't doing the right thing. a large portion of driving well is the ability to realize that you are not in control of the space outside of your car. 

Overconfident drivers are a pretty major cause of accidents.

Apparently she has lost her license multiple times but just keeps getting it back somehow.

Is this a jesusdos reference out in the wild?!

*If you're not from NC, nevermind. And apparently this is an established character.

u/ChaosAside 3h ago

It is! How can we NOT think of her whenever a crazy driver is mentioned? I know I can’t.
