    I have seen more drivers not just using their phones, but holding them up in front of their faces, in dumb giant trucks more than all other vehicle types combined.

    It’s the standard duality of stupid conservatives that also makes them susceptible to fascist politics, like the thing where the enemy is both weak and strong.

    They have to drive the biggest, most intimidating vehicle possible because of all the druggie minorities who are going to crash into them. But their Dunning-Kruger confidence in their flawless senses plus being in their rolling fortress “safe space” combine to make them some of the worst fucking drivers. And that’s when they aren’t carelessly driving drunk!

      Holding them up is arguably better than staring at the floor trying to be sneaky. Either way it’s fucking stupid though. No message is that important, if it is they’d call.
