How to Be a Terrible Driver

Timothy Scheiman
Summer is upon us and more people will be hitting the roads. This article is a sarcastic view of what it takes to be a complete jerk behind the wheel. If you recognize yourself in this article I hope you will take some time to reflect on it.

Cut others off

When passing or moving around in traffic make sure you cut others off. When they honk at you give them some gesture that its their fault. After all they was in your way and you need to get no where fast. You will really anger them cutting them off. You should get good recognition of being a jerk driver with this one.

Lay on the horn

When someone is in your way or whatever make sure you lay on the horn for a good 5 seconds or more . This will anger them greatly. Everyone just hates someone using their horn like a weapon. If this doesn't get you the recognition of being a jerk driver nothing will. You might even be able to hear them call you a jerk if you have your windows down.

Use your brights at night

When people are approaching you in the opposite direction make sure you use your brights on them. This will blind them and get you one step close of being the all around jerk driver. If you time it right you might be able to blind them just enough they may almost hit something. Many drivers have night blindness and this will enhance the affect.

Follow very close to other drivers

This will definitely annoy other drivers to follow close on their bumper. If they ask you to pass or pull off the road you can slow down or speed by and pick up someone else. The choice is yours. If they slow down to make you angry just lay on the horn and yell obscenities out the window. You could also pass them and turn the tables on them.

When others are trying to pass speed up

If you get drivers trying to pass you on a single lane highway scare them by speeding up. You can totally become the biggest jerk driver around putting a drivers life on the line. I would not attempt this one if a cop is around.

Turn left from or right from the wrong lane

Getting in the wrong lane at a light really makes other drivers upset. Cause you can hold up the whole line of cars making your turn anyway. Why go around the block and get in the right lane when you can make others angry and make your turn now? To be a jerk driver you have to be selfish and hold others up.

If you want to be a jerk this article is for you. If you don't want to be jerk than don't follow any of these points I made here.
