Having a car (and being able to drive one, of course) is excellent. It provides a tremendous amount of flexibility and independence in your life. But with great freedom comes great responsibility—to the car, yourself, and everyone on the road.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of the funniest and most relatable car memes we could find online to show you what it’s like to sit in front of the wheel. From dealing with BMW drivers to parallel parking, here’s what every driver goes through daily!

My car lowers the volume of the radio when I put it into reverse
Load More Replies...I only turn it down once I have missed my turn due to being too into a song. Occasionally I will miss a turn because I am having a heated discussion with myself...
When its raining, going a new route, traveling on unknown roads, snowing bad...music ALWAYS goes down!
The act reduces the load on the brain, freeing up more mental capacity for identifying landmarks and navigation. You'd find that songs with lyrics are more distracting than instrumental songs. Ambient sound recordings like whale songs and forest sounds consumes the least mental capacity.
I always told my kids to be quiet on particularly difficult areas. They didn't get it until they started to drive.
You ever get that "I dont remember the whole ride here" feeling?
And if you were supposed to stop and pick up something on the way to work... autopilot won't accommodate that... you pull into your parking spot and say "oh crap, I forgot again". I actually figured out a way to deal with that though. Before I go, I think very carefully about the intersection that I need to pull off at, I think about what is there, and what it looks like, and I keep saying "pull over" while thinking. Then when I drive by on autopilot, the imagery around the area triggers the memory.
Load More Replies...Every had autopilot while reading? I was reading a book out loud to my nephews and it was like I blanked out. I had to go back and read it again to see what had happened in the story. Went straight from my eyes to my mouth and bypassed my brain.
That's because your eyes have been doing the work, but your brain has checked out.
Load More Replies...Or when you can't remember if the last three lights you went through were actually green or everyone was just frozen in place shocked at your stupidity and watching out for your dumb a$$.
I've had that happen to me! I'm usually going through an intersection and about halfway through I get that 'Oh no!' feeling; 'Am I about to get broadsided by driver going the opposite way?!'
Load More Replies...Automatic pilot, especially when it's the same route you take every day.
Working late nights, waking up in my driveway, so glad the car knows it's way home.
This NEVER happens to me. Not anymore. When I was 16 or 17, I picked up my sister from college and drove her 5 hours home. On the way, I fell asleep for a second and almost ran off the road, potentially killing her. It shook me to my core and still upsets me decades later. The second I get in a car, adrenaline kicks in and I am as alert as a rabbit who saw a hawk.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Luckily nothing too bad happened, but still...
Load More Replies...I've never admitted this because I always thought it was just me - but every once in a while I will be driving a very common route and completely and totally friggin forget where I am. Like all of a sudden everything around me that I see almost daily looks totally foreign. Is that sh*t normal?? Lol.
It's only because nothing extraordinary happened, our brains get bored so easily..
A recent study of 2,000 American car owners found that as many as a quarter feel they take a risk each time they hit the road as their vehicle is currently in need of repair or no longer runs well.
The study asked people to reflect on the current state of their vehicle and tested their knowledge of car basics. Results showed an alarming number of drivers are rolling the dice on vehicles in need of work — 68 percent said their cars currently have at least one thing wrong with them.
This is a common one. This should be included in the driving lessons. lol
Here in Greece we have taken that to next level😂😂. We give a moutza!!😂 It's a gesture of insult when someone is extending all his fingers and presenting their palm towards someone , following a "na" (meaning take these)!! Our ancestors would have been very proud, lol 🤣🤣
Is this similar to “talk to the hand” here in the US?
Load More Replies...I like to do the wagging finger at idiot drivers- it is more annoying for them than being sworn at and even triggers the older generations.
One time I had a mustang pass me so fast and gave me the finger. Two miles further, the mustang broke down and there was smoke coming out of it. I gave him the finger when I passed him. One of the most memorable moments of my life.
This reminds me of that film office space. Really funny. It just makes them late for work...
No, actually when you're stuck behind a slow car on the left lane that passes the even slower trucks, have accepted your fate and don't care, but then some A-hole shows up from behind and drives close to your rear and gestures and flashes like a monkey with rabies and wants to force you to change to the right lane, so at the end you give up and move to the right and see how the A-hole is stuck now, behind that slow car that won't move anywhere.
That IS satisfying. Also, 'monkey with rabies' permission to plagiarise?
Load More Replies...And don't forget to remember we will aaaaall see each other again at the next traffic light
I just let people pass me when they want to pass me. It never occurred to me to take it as a personal offense.
Same here! And when they have to move into the oncoming lane to do so, I'll move over a bit and tap my brakes so they can pass more easily.
Load More Replies...I hate to admit this but when someone tries to pass me I usually speed up a little so that I'm going faster than the person in the other lane that was originally going faster than me. Just so I can watch he guy behind me in my rearview mirror hit his brakes and flip his signal on so he can get back into lane behind me. I know it's petty, but it's the little things in life, ya know?
With so many vehicles in need of love, Americans could stand to do a bit of brushing up on how to take care of their cars a little better. 36 percent of those studied confessed they don’t know the first thing about fixing a flat tire.
The survey, conducted by Cooper Tires, discovered that nearly half of American car owners think they couldn't change their car’s oil and almost 30 percent believe they couldn't even pick out the correct oil their car needs in the first place.
I know I also drive badly but they are getting in my way of driving badly faster.
Load More Replies...I commuted I95 in Maryland 80 miles a day for 33 years. I've seen a lot. In the last few years of me commuting it was causing anxiety because I couldn't stand to see otherwise regular people go crazy in the anonymity of their cars. Too many have the inability to drive safely, purposefully, and courteously. My commute now is 28 seconds.
I learnt swearing from my dad while driving with him when I was a child.
Until a cop is coming along. Then, I flash my lights at my fellow driver to alert them to the fact there is a cop coming.
My Dad used to say: "Let 'em by. They'll be out of your life in a second."
Lets face it, that is really the best attitude to have. Don't have to worry about them getting road rage and taking it out on you and probably keeps your blood pressure at sensible levels!!
Load More Replies...Ideally one should only be in the fast lane to pass. I see way too many self righteous people driving the same speed as those in the slow lane because they either don’t know any better, don’t care or are clueless as to their surroundings. Traffic would flow better and nobody would get bent out of shape because someone thinks they should dictate the speed of travel. And don’t get me started on slow drivers merging on to the freeway. Step on the damn gas and if you’re on the freeway make room for the person entering the freeway by moving over for them if possible, don’t slow down if you can avoid it.
if i am in the fast lane heading to work (san diego) and i see someone coming up on me fast i just move the hell over. maybe they need to go 90 today; not really my concern so i let them pass me then they get to be the cop bait.
It's the Jesus handle! Because when I and my sister learned to drive, mum and dad would grab it and shout "Jesus!" when we turned corners 😂
My Gran used to hang on to the handbrake when she was shotgun.

Don't you know what an "Oh Sh*t" handle is for? I mean..the name speaks for itself....
While going to a mechanic to get your car fixed is remains the main option for most, there's something about being able to make at least basic repairs by yourself. Working with your hands gives you pleasure. Not everyone's born a car-savvy genius, but we can always learn!
Nick Gerhardt points out in an article on Family Handyman, that you should start off with the smallest things and work your way up. For instance, you can kick things off by replacing your wiper blades or your air filter. Then, maybe try replacing the bulbs.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to sit in the middle so that I could see the the 'hyperdrive snow'!
I live in Arizona so you can imagine how much snow I've seen in my life since if you watch the news you know that it's June and already reaching 118 degrees and climbing. But a few years ago we had a freak snow storm that started just outside of Phoenix, and I was mesmerized because this is EXACTLY how it looks. I am SO glad I wasn't driving lol.
Yup. I especially dislike utes and SUV with LED lights brighter than the sun on all day, right at eye level. Switch them off or get them lowered you morons
I have been complaining about this issue for what seems like forever. Modern car headlights are designed to benefit the driver of that car ONLY. I honestly don't know how some of the headlights we have now are considered legal.
Put blinker on. Car behind you pulls up so close you can't reverse and park. That's the USA way
No no no, the USA way is to pull in nose first, then execute a 486 point turn until you're properly in the spot.
Load More Replies...There's a fantastic short tutorial on youtube. It describes the spatial relationship between your car and the car in front of the empty space, and tells you exactly when you should turn your wheel both times.
I have seen some mad parallel parking in the past. I find them quite funny. https://www.google.com/search?q=bad+parallel+parking&rlz=1C1GCEA_en&oq=bad+parralel&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i13l5j0i13i30l2j0i5i13i30l2.8005j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Not here in Virginia (USA). I got my license in 1998 and didn't have to do it.
Load More Replies...Senior tech editor at Jalopnik and owner of far too many Jeeps, David Tracy, shares this sentiment. If you want a crash course in wrenching, he suggests you buy yourself a junker. According to Tracy, it is the single best way to learn to fix cars. Especially if you're young and/or don't have much money, because you’ll be forced to do your own repairs.
"Coming out of high school, I hadn't turned a single wrench. I hadn't changed my oil, I hadn't changed spark plugs," Tracy writes. "Heck, I hadn’t even changed my air filter. I was a total noob. But then I got to college and bought a 215,000 mile 1992 Jeep Cherokee — a total pile of junk."
Also known as the New York second, the shortest period of time known to mankind.
Yep! When I drove to NYC a couple years ago, in a full size truck, I couldn't believe the honking! And the aggressiveness but no one was yelling, just cutting each other off. I learned quick and had fun! My mom was freaking out, but I was honking and driving like a maniac. Once at the hotel it was walking, Ubers and taxis though. The next month I went back with my husband. He was impressed! Oh, and the honking does not go over as well back in Ohio.😂

Yes I wait too. Because stupid people run traffic lights and I wait so I don't get hit by them.
Load More Replies...The pic... Wasn't that the same company that got their boat jammed up in the Panama canal a few months ago? Do they need to get new heavy machinery operators??
No, it was the Suez canal, but yes, the same company

I once see a punch up over this. I think the man behind upset some one who was having a bad day.
Yeah! It was like:" Did you just say somethin'?"
Load More Replies...My sister, an attorney, fell victim to this. She was stopped at a signal, noticed him behind her, and thought to herself "he better not mess with me! I'm not doing anything." Then she pulled out through the still red light.
This is just doing anything near a police officer. At school, driving, store, etc,
No, not a problem at all. In fact I overtook police cars on multiple occasions when they were driving below the speed limit. I'm not going to get stuck behind a fool who is just driving around for fun.
Police usually drive too slow so I'm always passing them while everyone else stays behind them. This happens on the highway and on city streets with 2 lanes same direction. I also pull in front of them in roundabouts while others wait. Oh, I'm a white female. YRMV
What is THE single most effective car safety device ever invented? Most people immediately answer: seat belts. Nope. It’s a rear view mirror - with a cop car in it.
It makes me cringe to see cyclists wearing headphones- I cycle daily. It is dangerous enough without being able to hear traffic.
I wear noice cancellation on-ears when I'm cycling - the microphones outside the on-ears transmit sounds like honking, sirens and the like when set to a certain cancellation level.
Load More Replies...My adult son who is on the spectrum. Driving with him one day on the freeway, he starts honking. No one in front of us. I say who are you honking at? He says, I want to change lanes. Me again, but who are you honking at? He says, the guy behind me, I want to change lanes. Me again, how is he suppose to know that? He is behind you! Doesn't do that anymore at least now with me in the car.
I loathe when radio commercials put sirens in their ads...
Funny, when I see a siren the first thought is; I have to free the road
Tracy's Jeep had rust holes in the rocker panels, a huge exhaust leak, a bad fuel pump, a bad power steering line, brakes that would seize when it got slightly warm outside, filthy brown transmission fluid, and leaky gaskets everywhere. But he wasn't discouraged by it. Tracy was intrigued. And he didn't really have another option.
"It was my only car and I spent all my money on textbooks, so I had no choice but to learn to fix it myself. I also had no garage, so most of my wrenching was done in parking garages or on the street side."
"With the help of some friends at a neighboring university, I learned the basics. They taught me to change plugs, replace my valve cover gasket, and change my oil. Just that little bit of guidance was all I needed to get the ball rolling," Tracy says.
Because you know how good your driving skills are, but they don’t. That’s why I drive more like a grandparent when someone else is in the car, than when it’s just me and I’m both familiar with the road and know what I’m capable of.
Agreed. When it’s just me I am more cavalier. When I have others in the car, I am responsible for their lives. I would rather be called “granny” and be able to hear that clearly, than hear “stay still, we are going to cut you out” clearly.
Load More Replies...German here. Normal reaction of passengers at 85 mph: „Why are you driving that slow? The road is clear, so floor it!“. Most of the german Autobahn has no speed limit and most of the people can handle it. my favorite speed is about 100 mph, which i can drive quite a while without getting exhausted. My personal (and legal) top speed was about 155 mph (with the car limited to that speed).
I forget to use a seat belt as a passenger but always use 1 as the driver.
When you are driving then do it your way. When i am driving shut the fk up!
This is what I’m yelling at the car in front of me, who has let 109 cars go by, all with huge enough gaps in between for 10 cars to merge.
Load More Replies...Get there faster on 4 wheels than 2 feet? Keep complaining and find out.
This is my mother when I was learning to drive. It was so scary. I got my sister to go one day and they ended up arguing "Go, go" "NO! are you kidding ? There's a truck right there." " She could have made it!" "No" "I could have made it." "You've been driving for 40 years!" They kept that up until there was an actual opening I felt comfortable pulling into.
One possibility - single track road and they clearly want to go faster than you so you pull over to let them go past. I've done that. I used to live in a very rural location and there were minimal passing places on a single track road.
Load More Replies..."That was the beginning of my love affair for wrenching. And now, with my new project, I’m learning quite a lot more. You can learn, too. Just go ahead and buy that Volkswagen Type III Squareback on Craigslist you’ve been salivating over."
If you do get your old VW Type III Squareback, you're gonna want to change the oil, go through the brakes, and do a basic tune-up. So go out and get some tools.
"The heart of any toolset is the socket set, so start there. My first set was a cheapo one from AutoZone. It worked okay for light-duty things, but then I had to take my bumper bolts off, and I ended up breaking ratchets and shearing extensions," Tracy explains. "You can get a pretty decent socket set from Wal-Mart for $60 or so."
How to be a villian: laugh hysterically at your enemy and call them a fool
When I see someone driving my same car make and model, I change lanes so there are two of the same car traveling together like a wolf pack. Sometimes the other driver keeps following me in a daze and almost takes my freeway exit by mistake. Other times, a third car joins the pack for a bit.
Many years ago I owned a red Fiat Uno. One day another red Fiat Uno parked outside the house opposite and was not moved for a couple of weeks. One day I went out to my car, before I got to it, the owner of the house opposite come out and started shouting at me to not park my car outside his house and to move it immediately (on the road and not blocking the driveway). So I unlocked my car and opened the door and just said "OK" His face was a picture when he realised it was not my car
Have definitely had that happen... surprising what you can contain if death is the other option.
Load More Replies...put your tongue on the roof of your mouth when you feel like you'll sneeze, it works
This works for me like 8 out of 10. Quite a nifty technique though.
Load More Replies...I found out I can sneeze with my eyes open while driving. It's weird as heck! I was going around a narrow blind corner near the bus garage where a lot of people go over the line. Suddenly I had to sneeze and couldn't stop and was terrified I would not be able to see. It was like opening your eyes in a pool. I could see but it was slightly cloudy and made me a little dizzy after words. I've done it about 4 times now so I'm no longer afraid of sneezing while driving.
Me too! As soon as I learned it was "impossible" to sneeze with your eyes open, I would train myself to do it when I was young. I can still do it.
Load More Replies...I sneeze 8-20 times while driving. You just get your bearings and make corrections between sneezes. Cleaning off the windshield, dashboard, and steering wheel are completely separate issues.
I ride a bike - I fee if I sneeze I will die - I also have seasonal allergies 🤪
Took my Dad to sound treatment and came back to my parents house to keep an eye on Mom,we had to keep the garage door down as she would sometimes wander. Reached up to hit the opened and touched something on the visor. Looked up and a snake looked back. Never got out of a car so fast. Can't believe I put it in park and didn't go through the door!
I once had a gigantic, and I mean f*****g gigantic, hornet in my car. Had my windows open cause it was soooo hot. I freaked, luckily I was driving in the country side and the road was empty. Gave me the chance to park in a sandy driveway next to trees and to jump out of my car in a very cartoon like panic mode. 😂
OK, let's say your car isn't that bad. Then what? Well, if your ride is (somewhat) decent and you just want to know how to change the brakes, YouTube has the answers.
"I can't tell you how many times I've gone to YouTube to learn how to fix something. In fact, I referenced a YouTube video to figure out how to pull the engine from my Jeep Cherokee," Tracy says.
"There's such a wealth of wrenching knowledge on YouTube, it should be one of your first resources for information on how to fix your car."
That being said, be careful and use some judgment. Anybody can post stuff on YouTube, so if some guy uploads a video and cuts his brake lines and tells you it will get you better gas mileage because of the decreased brake drag, you might want to turn your brain on and think about that for a second.
Or going to the same area in a city that has a lot of turns. I hate when this happens because I feel like I'm creeping out the person in front of me, but it's the fastest way to the store or whatever. Which is why they are driving that route as well.
Load More Replies...We basically have two ways to communicate in car: (1) brake lights (2) turn signals. Dude, you are riding around in approx. 2 tons of metal at high speeds. Communicate!
Piggybacking on this and I'm sure a lot of y'all will agree with me: the turn signal, in my opinion, is the vehicular way of saying please and thank you. If I'm driving and a person needs to get into my lane and they have their turn signal on, I'll let them in. But if you're just going to cut in, f**k off! And turning on the blinker whilst moving into my lane doesn't count!
How hard is it to use a turn signal??? You have to actually flick your left hand a fraction of an inch, you poor widdow ting? Suck it up and DO IT!
Or they left their signal on, don't get your constant light signals and stupid waving and pointing and you don't know if they will suddenly slam their brakes to turn left.
Sometimes you don't realize the traffic is going to come to a halt right at that second.
Load More Replies...This dog knew it would happen. But (s)he just had to get though the light.
Wait, staring? I was in my lane and waited after the light turned green so I knew there was room for me to clear the intersection and as I started, someone pulled in front of me from the other lane. Ended up in the box. Staring? How about calling me a F'ing idiot and blowing their horns when there was no place for me to go?
i...er. ten year old honda civic. i hope they don't just....move me...
Young drivers or just young people in general have an invincibility mentality. They think that just because a bad thing happened to one person doesn't mean it could happen to them. This is why so many young people die.
Someone I know lost her son around Christmas - 21 years old but thought racing another car would be fun.
Load More Replies...Judging by the pic I'm going to assume it's because they love paying the under 25, male insurance rate.
My ex (that I worked with) was talking about getting another motorbike after a decade of driving a car. He appeared at work pale and shaking and said "Now I know why you rode your bike the way you did" Always engage paranoia before starting the vehicle.
The next logical step would be to get a repair manual, a step-by-step guide on how to fix things. Get one. "You can get a Chilton or Haynes manual for about $25 at any car parts store, or, better yet, download or buy a hard copy of a factory service manual for your car. These books can save you tons of time and effort, especially when it comes to stuff like torque specs and fluid capacities," Tracy advises.
Follow these steps and you should at least build an even stronger bond with your car. If that's something you want, of course!
When my dad tells my son not to turn on the interior light while I’m driving because it will distract me I tell him, “No, he can have the light on. It doesn’t bother me at all and I don’t know why you and Mom always made a big deal out of it when I was a kid.” Sometimes being an adult is so satisfying.
I think part of this is generational. I have two cars, a 1994, and a 2002. The dome light in the 1994 is quite omnidirectional, and causes pretty significant reflections on the inside of the windows at night. The newer car has much more focused interior lights which don't cause that problem.

If anyone in New Jersey was actually nice like this and "let someone in" it would be so unexpected and throw off everyone's road rhythms and possibly rip a hole in the space/time continuum which is why we all drive like jerks. You know, to be courteous.
My sister lives in Atlanta and I always wondered why she never used her blinker when changing lanes. So I finally asked her and she said "watch and I'll show you."' She has plenty of room to change lanes, turns her blinker on, and the car in the other lane steps on it the second he saw that blinker so she couldn't get over in front of him. She laughed and said "you see now?!" Point taken.

A lot of courier services also plan their routes with as much right hand turns as they can, to avoid collisions and lengthy waits before they can make a left turn.

Years ago I was on the highway belting along with N*SYNC's "Tearin' Up My Heart" and a couple of blonde girls were all laughing at me; instead of *acting* like I wasn't singing, I kicked it up a notch and started singing to them--finger pointing and singing like we had just broken up or something: "...and no matter what I do, I feel the pain with or without yooooooou...." :)

"There's an unwritten rule that anyone driving faster than you is a maniac, and anyone driving slower than you is a moron." - The Real Life Peter Griffin
In parts of my state & surrounding states the speed limit it’s sometimes 75-80. This is ok but the problem is everyone goes 10-15 miles over the speed limit so this means 90 -95 & that is too fast. On the east coast most speed limits are about 65- 70 which means people go 75- 80 & that is ok (as long as weather is good).
When they're in front of you, they're idiots. When they're behind you, they're maniacs.
A friend and I calculaed how fast you have to go so you fly exactly over the bump and land smoothly on the descending part. We had a speed bump in a street that was, kind of, usless and therefore not used, so we could try it out safe, without posing danger to anyone not involved - worked, but we had to take suspension into account. Going like 90...100 kph will lift you up and let you land a lot smoother than any speed between 50 and 90. Either faster or slower - but that forbidden range is to be avoided!
Driving down a residential road with speed bumps every block. Kid in the hot car in front of us speeds up to a bump, slows way down and crawls over the side of the bump, immediately speeding up. About the 3rd time, my husband and I and cracking up. The kid finally notices and slows down for the entire block. LOL
i once saw a sign that said speed hump...and it cost me $2300 as i got a case of the f*****g giggles..
I was unfamilar with the term when, in a minor jam, my friend who was driving her convertable yelled; "I can't back up, I'm sitting on an elephant turd" Oh, so that's what they call those big concrete bumps on the roads in Florida.
It is courteous to let people cut in line but to constantly letting someone cut in is a bit too courteous.
Merge like a zip is the saying I've heard. Sadly this relies on people being nice to other people:(
Load More Replies...Why do some people do this? Are they afraid the brakes might suddenly have stopped working and they need to keep testing them? Followed one the other day and it drives me nuts, as you can't tell whether they actually braking this time or not, so you are covering your own brakes too just in case.
I didn’t know so I didn’t think and nobody would

I told them to be sure to be back when my shift was over, because I needed to get home, and that it should be as clean as they found it (I keep my car clean). Also, they didn’t need to return it full, but to please replace whatever gas they used. They agreed, and assured me everything would be perfect when they brought it back. They were an hour late returning my car, it was a pig sty, and the gas tank, which had been 3/4 full when I gave them the keys, was empty. I was royally pissed off. That was the first—-and LAST—-time I ever lent anyone my car. You can take the f*****g bus. Or walk.
Were they insured as well? Would probably have invalidated your insurance if they'd had an accident. Most people aren't insured to just randomly drive anyone else's car and most car owners don't have insurance that allows anyone else to drive their car bar named drivers.

That is called on road therapy. Let it out before you get home to the family after a crap day at work.
The car belongs to Eminem. He is calm and ready to drop bombs. It'll soon be vomit on his sweater. Mom's spaghetti.
it IS missing a pair of meatballs, you are correct :)

Load More Replies...Well I see who never took divers ed or saw an intersection or ever drove a car
Dad - "Dont worry about the pedestrians, they are always there. Let them wait. Dont worry about the red light, it turned red just before you passed it. Park there in that restricted area, no one else is using it." Officer - "You almost run down a pedestrian, passed a red light and parked in a restricted area." Dad - "AS USUAL MY KIDS NEVER LISTEN TO ME!!!"
I tell younger folks learning to drive (if they bring up the subject) that you need to assume two things and they'll serve you well. 1) Everyone on the road is an idiot, 2) they all want you dead. Drive with those assumptions and you'll keep a proper eye on traffic.
Yesterday a woman and walked in the crosswalk on my green she clearly knew what she was doing, stiffened and walked with more confidence, and the man stopped and threw himself back in surprise. There was a car in the intersection but at the turn area like maybe they made a mistake and wanted to get back to going straight, who knows, no turn signal. Kind of a s**t show. I play with fire and am not nice I will drive right up to you and honk...not so fast to hit someone. I doubt she cared pretty sure she had drugs in her system.
In the UK, a pedestrian crossing the road has right of way. Now the people who intentionally walk slowly (forcing me to slow to almost a stop) well, those people get a little scare :)
Bob you mad man. I hope they're not slow because they're in pain and going as fast as they can otherwise you're a bum hole

1997: I had to drive a 3-hour-ride with a than new colleague. He was a rather shy guy, always smiling, kind of insecure, exaggerated friendly, nearly submissive. When in his car and on the highway, he mutated into a psychopathic monster. He almost caused 2 accidents and didn’t care. For my way home I took the train.
One of the nicest things my husband ever said to me when we were dating is I asked him why he was driving slower than normal. He said "because you are in the car and you are precious to me." I don't care why he was driving slower, it was one of those moments I can pull out and use as an emotional pillow.
Or when your gas gauge is broken so you don't know if you have 10 gallons or 1, but you start doing an astrophysics version of mathematics to calculate if you can get to the gas station without having to walk for a gas can or be manually pushed the rest of the way.
Your low gas light comes on. It informs you "STOP AT THE NEAREST GAS STATION". Male driver/passenger to the female driver/passenger: Don't get all freaked. We've got enough to go another billion miles before we really need to fill up. (Sarcasm)
I disagree. I like to keep my gas tank full. Anything lesser than half a tank gives me anxiety, my wife on other hand will drive on empty tank till it's absolutely necessary. Every time I ride in her car I have to bug her to get gas first.

Before the pandemic I was paying over £100 a month for petrol. Now it is a lot less.
Load More Replies...Contradictory to what the government says, orange means speed up or you'll lose another 5 minutes of your life waiting for a red light while there's no traffic crossing the intersection.
And while you are looking at them the light turns green and they are gone.
I HATE when people look at me when we're both stopped at a light. Mind your own!!!
My luck is I'm in a hurry and the light turns red. I sit there waiting and waiting for the green and there's no one else on the road. Over and over. Oh, hey, there's no one around. Why not just sneak through. Suddenly a police car magically materializes. Oops.

It's a cautionary speed suggestion. During the construction of the ramp they determine the speed using a fully-loaded truck. 15mph in a heavy truck probably equates to 35 in a normal car.

Fun story. My wife drove an older 1988 Honda that someone had put a decent engine in. Two boy racers pulled up and start laughing at old Honda. Wife casually keeps up with both when lights change. Next set of lights, boy racer leaves big smoking trail of rubber, right past an unmarked police car....
Then your wife drove past laughing when they got pulled. : )

Load More Replies...You are missing the one whith the car in front of you not noticing the swing lane arrow has turned green on the signal, so you honk at him at the precise moment when he can correct the mistake, but it is too late for you to turn before it goes red again. The result is that the bastard did not pay for his mistake, but you did. Happens to me almost daily.
Or the light doesn't t change but they were oblivious for so long that the traffic gap is lost and you're both still sitting there but you honked and traffic folk are wondering what your deal is because to others out of the equation you just honked to be rude not to get the forward car alert and moving as horns were intended... Our towns have awful traffic planning and more cars(distraced drivers) on the road than ever...
Load More Replies...I hate it when someone is going 10 mph under the speed limit, and when there's a passing lane, they're suddenly going 30 over the speed limit.
I don't agree with the title of this, if you're stuck in traffic you should be paying attention, not looking at Bored Panda. On another note, I like the article :)
I loathe drivers with poor pedal control (or they're just stupid), so that when you are keeping a constant speed you overtake them, only for them to go past you and then slow down, leaving you to overtake again, before they sail past again... and on and on and on!
Are you from Utah? That's there motto up there. 10 under the speed limit when no one can pass. 30 over it to prevent them from passing. Biggest jerks in the US
Load More Replies...One time while I was driving to work I thought I forgot my keys at work. I was freaking out because turning around meant being late for work. As I was turning around I realized that I was driving, of course I have my keys. I felt really dumb lol. I have also stopped at stop signs and waited for them to turn green several times lol that seems to only happen in the early morning when I'm the only one on the road.
Thought I forgot my keys at home * I really hate the posting interface.

there were two dingbats me and my friend were in front of at a red light yesterday, and there were you blind people crossing the road, and they had the nerve to honk at us like wtf am I supposed to do bitch run them over?
It's sad that these memes were the funniest I've seen in like a month, but they made my day better and gave me a good laugh so thanks for compiling them :)
