They are subjectively the worst drivers on the road
And the most dui’s as well
When you consider that the root cause of both problems (owning a Dodge RAM truck and driving drunk) is absolutely terrible judgement, this correlation becomes rather self evident.
Dodge Ram: the official truck of married incels.
The truck that coined the phrase “rust free”
Was literally thinking of looking this up last night. God knows the demographics line up.
It’s was one of my conspiracy theories until it was proven
I have another one that we made people as a whole more stupid due to some man made reason, and then this was posted!

I’m 2 for 2
Also every new vehicle with the ultra bright LED headlights anywhere that hills or bumps exist because the beam cutoff is a millimeter below retina burning height I swear.
As someone with a car from '07 it basically makes it impossible to drive safely at night, especially on really dark nights. There are points where you just straight up can't see because you're being blinded by someone coming towards you, not to mention your eyes just don't adjust to the dark anymore since it's happening more and more often.
Even new sedans have a bad time with all the SUVs and pickup trucks. There's not much you can do when the headlight is higher than the highest part of your vehicle.
It's a shame because I don't need the space, don't want to spend the extra money for gas + purchase price, but am risking my safety by not driving one of those monstrosities.
My general solution is to just not drive at night. Why do we subsidize these SUVs and pickup trucks by exempting them from emissions regulations?
I drive a mid 10s subcompact and I love the crap out of the car but yeah it’s terrible for this
Yeah, I can't count the amount of times where I assumed someone was flashing their lights at me, askesd myself what the fuck that fucker wanted just to notice that they were going over miniscule bumps in the road.... And I can only assume that my vehicle has done the same to soo many people as well...
If I recall correctly that was the reason why care manufacturers had standardized headlights for most of the past centurie where it all started as a quality control until lights started to be really good and the reason we kept using the standard round lights was to prevent people from having lights that would blind other drivers maybe we should bring that back onto trucks at least like of your headlights are going to be eye level they shouldn't be retna burning
I would like to buy a F150 Lightning if I could ever afford one, but changing out the lights would be an absolute necessity.
What do you mean by "12 over"? The sound barrier I presume? Greeting from Germany
I thought the rule was, "Don't break the sound barrier, survival is optional."
That's what they tell you in driving school, so... More of a suggestion.
Its my main reason I drive with sunglasses on at night. People think I'm weird or stupid but then change their minds when a truck with lights brighter than the sun glare at them.....

12 over not goot enough?
Well congrats. Your lights, tailgating, and just the fact that I don't like the average pickup driver just earned you 2 under.
I like to play a game where I stop pressing the gas and coast to see how slow I can get before they go around me. My record is 25mph on a 65mph freeway where the cars around us were going closer to 75 or 80. I was honestly shocked.
Patrick that's 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔄𝔰𝔥𝔟𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯
I ended up buying a ram, it was cheaper (family employee discount). I'm giant, 6' 7" I tried a lot of vehicles but the first time I sat in it, I was just immediately comfortable. Every vehicle I've been in since my big boat of a Deville became too expensive to fix has been tight and uncomfortable.
I bought the ecodiesel, because at that time (pre-carbon tax) diesel was much cheaper. No 5.7L Hemi, no 6.2L Hellcat. When cold I can barely accelerate, when the turbo heats up it's a powerful engine designed to tow things. I get passed by these guys all day, and I get weird looks. I test drove a hemi, you don't need to try to go fast. It's actually harder to drive slow in that vehicle. My wife calls me grandpa because I drive so slow, behind the wheel of that hemi ram... I was a different person. None of this surprises me
Should probably go 12 mph under if you want them to pass
Then they'll brake check you after to punish you for being in their way
They don't have the patience to brake check someone going 12mph under the speed limit, thankfully.
Or it ends up being a really slow boring, almost cordial, brake check. I had it happen once, it was funny. I didn't realize he wasn't turning until he sped off even madder.
It's moments like that that makes me wish I had a beater car
My car's rear view mirror is a camera. Really reduces the eye ball singe, wouldn't buy a car without it now

Every time. Also it is going to be a white one and the dude driving has at least one DUI.
