They're in Canada, too.

I'm conflicted by this because the other day, I saw one of these with LGBTQ+ flags and not the typical American, Mexican, Rattlesnake or Trump 2024 flags.

Still, it was on a giant truck clearly not for working on a farm or hauling anything but ass and those giant flags are obnoxious no matter what they are signalling.

Anyone with a truck that doesn't own a farm or is a contractor.

Lifted Dodge Ram. They are more likely to be drunk too.

My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can't fit in my wife's sedan.

I'm a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y'know?

My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he's like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said "if she's gonna ride a bike in the street, she's gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn't see me"

TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

Living in Australia where US trucks really don't go on our roads well, I can attest to Ram drivers being the most dreadful drivers here. As we've come to call it, Emotional Support Vehicles.

Among Truck drivers, Rams are usually the objectively worst vehicle for doing trucking activities on a per yearly model basis. So it kinda makes sense the dumbest people with trucks aren't the ones who know anything about truck capabilities either.

It's got nothing to do with any weird animal symbolism bro. Thing is, dodge will finance absolutely anybody. And dodge makes a fun vehicle until it breaks down.

Tesla model 3 to be exact.

Ram trucks are the official vehicle of domestic abuse.

I'm surprised to see Lexus on that list.

And what's more there is no model associated with not being driven by an asshole. And no one can prove me wrong 😄

To quote George Carlin "ever notice how anyone driving slowly than you is an idiot? And ever notice how anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC? It's a wonder how we can get anywhere at all with all these idiots and maniacs driving around. "

If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it's 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane

I'm only up voting you for your user name.

Rubicons especially

Or do you have a genuine reason that makes them advantageous?

I have an SUV because:

• my mother in law has mobility issues and struggles to get in/out of a saloon.
• my wife has neck issues and the higher driving position is better for her
• I like it (ok, that could make me an arsehole)

Truth is that mine (BMW X1) is at most 5cm bigger in any dimension, if at all, than the car on which it is based (Mini Cooper). The extra size is an optical illusion.

We look at those people the same in the US too tbf lol

For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called "taking primary".

If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.

This is such a strange perspective. I'm not a bike rider, but never understand people's issues with bikers, joggers, or anything on the road besides cars. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but nearly every biker? That has not been even close to my experience, and I mostly see cars/trucks being unnecessarily aggressive towards bikers and runners.
