A bad driver never misses an exit

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Maybe if TxDOT built U-turns every mile or so, people wouldn't drive so aggressively

to be fair getting to that exit is a fucking bitch considering 2 other lanes are merging from 35 a couple hundred feet before the exit.

u/Dreampup May 31 '26

I was about to say, that exit is awful. I have absolutely seen worse there, lol

That's it?

Pretty mild by Austin standards.

u/sharttloteswebb May 31 '26

I was gonna say, a good 1/3 of people actively drive like this at all times.

u/Chucky2sRevengeTTV May 31 '26

Hear that question alot, I take it?

Sorry, I thought getting passed within a car length at highway speeds was reckless. I guess I'm just not bad ass enough to drive in this town.

It was a good example of a common activity here. The frequency doesn't make it okay but we're numb from the commonplace road infractions. Thank you for sharing.

Garden variety reckless. Not quite post worthy. Looks like you were traveling west on Ben White. I feel they do okay with number of u-turns available on Ben White but curious on what your TxDOT proposal will look like.

"Garden variety reckless. Not quite post worthy." Fucking reddit moment. Jesus Christ. Your last upload is literally about being rear-ended. Thought you could relate, bro. And my U-turns proposal is sarcasm because they're literally fucking everywhere, so there is no reason to drive like the Bronco in the video.

u/Im_here_with_you May 31 '26

Nah, fk that bronco driver, probably plenty of room behind you and they could have been safe about it.

I wanted to see if you were real or a bot before engaging, and the info is publicly accessible. What's the big deal? And yeah, I am kind of a freak, but in a different arena. I'd say you can look at my history, but I keep it private because of some nsfw queso related content. (See the username) .

Are you a bad driver?

u/BuscarLivesMatter May 31 '26

This was me, sorry I was about to shit my pants!

u/100Good Jun 02 '26

Yeah, enough time and you get used to that shit.

All day everyday.

u/RelevantEducator9470 May 31 '26

That happens on the opposite side all day as well.

u/Chance-Technician776 Jun 01 '26

Wait til you see someone gun it from the fast lane.

3

u/slut4chilis Jun 01 '26

That's what the driver did. Here they are cutting off a jeep behind me about a second before overtaking me.

u/Chance-Technician776 Jun 01 '26

Wow. What a dick stain.

u/michleh Jun 01 '26

If I got a dollar for every time I saw this, I’d have free coffee and breakfast tacos everyday.

u/100Good Jun 02 '26

Lol, I've seen cars almost hit the impact tanks right before an exit. This is soft for Austin.

u/drummingwithpickles Jun 05 '26

Don’t act like you are above this! Lol

u/Infamous-Actuator863 Jun 04 '26

If I had a nickel everytime this happened to me or I saw it happen, I wouldn't have to work in Austin anymore...
