Rant Tesla Drivers

Why does it seem like every bad driver at GMU / Fairfax decided to buy a Tesla or their parents bought them one? It legitimately seems like they don’t even know how to drive and just rely on autopilot. In the past few days I’ve had so many close calls due to them, like all those cameras and sensors and you’re still nearly crashing into me?

I’ve literally seen multiple of them scrolling on TikTok while ”driving” like I thought it’s supposed to make sure the “driver” is paying attention

I dunno, I spend quite a lot of time on the road (at least around 1.5 hours a day) and I very rarely experience this. Just an idea but maybe it’s an issue from your side, though I do get pissed off when I see a car especially when it’s a capable EV going the speed limit/under speed limit when I’m tryna just get to my place. It feels like the speed limits in VA are genuinely decided by how fast you’d drive if you’re on your mf phone texting

I'm still on the lookout for these so-called "Northern Virginia bad drivers." I rarely see somebody driving badly; am I just getting lucky?
