Just about everyone has probably seen it.\u00a0 Yet ironically, no appropriate images of it as an example really exist anywhere on the internet that I can find.\u00a0 The above image is the closest thing I can find that comes remotely near representing it.\u00a0 But not a day goes by where I don\u2019t see someone driving their car in this seemingly pose that I\u2019m wagering that anyone who looks around would also see on a very regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n The pose is almost always a male; right hand at the 10 o\u2019clock position on the steering wheel.\u00a0 Their left arm is resting on either their left thigh or the arm rest of the driver\u2019s side door, elbow bent, with their hand floating inches from their nose\/mouth, but not actually touching it.\u00a0 Fingers are curled.\u00a0 And almost always, the seat is reclined back beyond a typical angle, and it almost looks like the only thing keeping the driver upright is the fact that their right arm is gripping the steering wheel at an unorthodox angle.<\/span><\/p>\n If you can visualize this description, this is where it sinks in that you may or may not have noticed seeing people driving like this before, or like me, regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why do people drive like this?\u00a0 It\u2019s not the least bit comfortable, I\u2019ve tried sitting like that, to seek the answer to this inquiry myself, but I just can\u2019t do it.\u00a0 Just trying to keep upright would cause me to steer the wheel in unsafe directions at unsafe intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n And frankly, it looks stupid.\u00a0 It looks like the driver is hyper-aware that their breath must stink and they\u2019re always in a state of breathing into a partially cupped hand to examine for themselves.\u00a0 Or, they\u2019re habitual nail-biters who always want to have their fix just inches away at any given time.\u00a0 And the fact that the act of sitting like this often times leads to the driver hunched over to a hard left into the door, it looks like they\u2019re deliberately trying to minimize visibility of themselves, as if they were up to no good.\u00a0 Or, they\u2019re extremely worried that when they make right turns, they risk flipping, so they\u2019re always in a state of weight compensation on the left side like in\u00a0Speed<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n The worst part is if there actually is a passenger in the car with people that drive like this.\u00a0 In terms of body language, nothing say \u201cI want nothing more than to be as far as humanly possible from you\u201d than smashing your entire body against the driver\u2019s side door while you\u2019re driving.<\/span><\/p>\n I just don\u2019t get it, and would like some answers.\u00a0 It\u2019s not really necessarily one of those \u201coh danny, you such a racist<\/em>\u201d observations, because I\u2019ve seen wiggers and Hispanics that drive like this too.\u00a0 But in all seriousness, it\u2019s a seemingly very inefficient and less than safe way to be operating a motor vehicle, and I am legitimately curious to why just so many people do it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just about everyone has probably seen it.\u00a0 Yet ironically, no appropriate images of it as an example really exist anywhere on the internet that I can find.\u00a0 The above image is the closest thing I can find that comes remotely near representing it.\u00a0 But not a day goes by where I don\u2019t see someone driving … Continue reading Why do so many people in the hood drive like this?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[51,83,15,49],"class_list":["post-34995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cars","tag-observations","tag-og","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34995"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34997,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34995\/revisions\/34997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
