Saw an old lady getting out of a BMW X7 M60i (the high performance version). I asked her what made her choose the M60i and she just said “I dunno, the salesman said it was the best one they had”.

I often see people driving fast cars like Teslas as if gravity will instantly throw them off the road if they turn the car at faster speeds than 10 mph. They brake like 20 seconds before they are gonna turn, then go slowly slowly towards the street they want to turn in to, then they almost stop and turn the steering wheel.
Not frustrating at all to be behind one of those…
I think some people dont know how gravity works when they are in a car, so they act like they are controlling an oil tanker, just in case.
As a cyclist I honestly applaud this turning behavior ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
idk how you can be upset about people driving safely
Safe driving is conscious, fluid driving. If safe driving were just slow driving, we’d best all be going 30km/h everywhere.
Let people drive safely.
Slowing unnecessarily at every then is very dangerous. There is a difference between being cautious and being an obstruction on the road.
They dont drive safely for others. If I walk in front of you very slowly and you cant pass, you would be annoyed. Its the same in traffic.
Are you sure that you’re not one of them?
I know its not the right term for this, but… Yeah. :)
One thing to keep in mind is a feature of EVs is automatic braking when you take your foot off the gas. Mine has different settings on how hard you want it to brake. I think the idea is that it’s safer for something like an accident (which it is) and you gain some energy back into your battery.
I think that might be what you’re experiencing here.
No, its just people being afraid to drive at the speed limit and who think they need to break 20 seconds before they turn. Its because they have no feeling for their car so they are afraid.
Yeah that just seems incorrect — have you driven a Tesla? Because they absolutely have the feature I’m talking about.
Yeah I know they do, but if the driver doesnt take their foot off the gas pedal, it doesnt break.
Many electric cars, maybe all, have the same feature.
Its the driver taking the foot off the pedal too early that makes the car break too early.
You’re essentially asking them to accelerate towards a stop instead of temporarily incoveniencing you.
Pro tip: 3 seconds in between you and the car in front of you. That way this won’t ever inconvenience you again.
