No such thing as a non douchebag Lexus driver
 
Just an observation with a large daily sample size.

So true. They are just more entitled Camry drivers...

I wonder what they think of bmw or porsche drivers zipping around them and breaking their zoned out meditative states and making them pay actual attention.

They probably think "oh, the irony".

Not untrue.

But usually there’s more Lexus drivers than others.

Meh. Drivers are pretty much universally terrible and inconsiderate. If you ever want to experience this, simply drive a truck towing a trailer. It's almost as though your turn signals are flashing "please speed up and pull along side me so I can't merge." I've taken to putting on the signal when there's a hole and just moving over. If someone really wants to speed up and sideswipe my trailer, they can play that game :)

my buddy just got back from a several week roadtrip in his motorhome and was ranting about how people are aholes to him.

That's because no one wants to be behind you ... I try very hard not to be behind a trailer because the rocks that get kicked up from the trailer ALWAYS hit my car. Yes it's better if the trailer is not empty because it doesn't bounce around as much but it still happens.

Also I never want to be behind a pickup truck either ... they pick up rocks and literally throw them at my car. Is there someone hidden in the pick up bed with a stash of rocks doing this :dunno::D

I just took a bit of a road trip in my daughters A4 and the trailers kicked up quite a bit of road debris ...

BTW great car for a road trip :thumbup:

So true. I towed the Lemons race car+gear to NHIS in the LR4 and people suck.

Today I was behind a classic zombie driver. Doing 35 on a 45 and then 35 on a 25 as the road approach a thickly settled area.:rolleyes: Oh, and hands at the 11 an d12 positions. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Then don't follow so closely?

I don't like being behind trailers either. But it's a dick move to speed up specifically to block someone from merging.
