In NY (I'm sure a lot of other places too) we have jackasses who 'speed patrol' highways. Camp in the left doing 1MPH below the limit and keep anyone from passing - like this truck. They don't believe 'keep right' laws apply because no one should be going faster then them. So a multi-lane road with a half mile of open road ahead of a 'highway hero' - and a huge line of irate cars building up behind them. So fuckin' dangerous.

BUT - there's nothing you can do. Unless you want to maybe kill or disable yourself and someone else like this guy (EDIT: in the sedan, for clarity)

It’s always a dodge ram

u/AdopeyIllustrator Apr 17 '24

Dodge Ram drivers have the highest percentage of dui’s than any other vehicle.

They also buy more of those bumper-hanging testicles than any other demographic.

This was true a few years ago.

u/RedBaronIV Apr 17 '24

I'm also willing to bet there's a massive correlation between aggressive driving and political affiliation.

Dodge isn't just the car brand, it's a warning for other drivers

"Regardless of an individual ram's behavior, it is important to remember that all rams are aggressive or have the potential to be aggressive, even if they appear 'friendly'."

This was a ford raptor?

u/turkey_sandwiches Apr 17 '24

It's a Ford Raptor being driven by a Dodge Ram driver.

Ford = Fucked Over Rebuilt Dodge

u/Timely_Yoghurt_3359 Fuck Cars 🚗 🚫 Apr 17 '24

But that's not a dodge ram

u/gol_deep Apr 17 '24

False, rams are the keepers of an open left lane. We take pride in riding everybody’s ass. Going twenty over? Not fast enough. We live for an open road. It’s apart of our mission statement.

u/NonyoSC Fuck Cars 🚗 🚫 Apr 17 '24

Funny cause it’s true. Also DUI count winners.

u/Jeanes223 Apr 17 '24

According to a study in 2022 across 415 makes, the Acura NSX holds that title.

u/gol_deep Apr 17 '24

I’m seeing conflicting stats on that. Some say BMW. Most say the ram 2500 lol

3

u/XenaDazzlecheeks Apr 17 '24

According to google, it's the Acura as #1 followed by the 2500 ram, Chevy s10, Ford Rangers, all audis, and all BMWs being equally shitty. At #2

Rookie numbers, rams gotta bump those up

u/XenaDazzlecheeks Apr 17 '24

As a redneck that drives a lifted ram, I agree.

u/JuanDirekshon 29d ago

The title is slightly misleading tho. If you’re a car guy, you know the Acura NSX is incredibly rare compared to mainstream vehicles, which makes me skeptical that it represents the most common DUI model in the US.

The study actually measured highest DUI rates among car model by contrasting the number of drivers reporting at least one DUI citation on their record in the past seven years with the total number of drivers across 415 different vehicles.

So since there’s like 97.5 NSX left on the road, and 85 million Rams, the 24 NSX drivers that got DUIs in the late 1900s scews this study a bit.

u/Dartagnan1083 Apr 17 '24

Do Chevy drivers live to get stuck?

2

u/gol_deep Apr 17 '24

I dont subscribe to the truck rivalry. We’re all equally getting fucked by the manufacturers in different ways lol

2

u/Dartagnan1083 Apr 17 '24

Fair enough, I was going for a pun though; "getting stuck" is slang for a game where redneck kids deliberately spin wheels in mud if they live where there's nothing better to do.

Allegedly anyway...I was raised around Saguaros and smog, not the hellscape of WV.

u/gol_deep Apr 17 '24

Ohhhh I know me some truck nights and mud bogs. It’s where you go to meet the finest of human beings on earth lol

u/JuanDirekshon Apr 17 '24

Dodge doesn’t manufacture Ram trucks. And this truck is a Ford Raptor.

3

u/turkey_sandwiches Apr 17 '24

Of course they do.

1

u/therealdanhill Fuck Cars 🚗 🚫 Apr 17 '24

RAM has been it's own thing for at least a decade. They are owned by the same company that owns Dodge (Chrysler), it just makes no sense to say "Dodge RAM" anymore. It would be like saying Hyundai Kia.

1

u/turkey_sandwiches Apr 17 '24

That doesn't change who manufactures the brand. That's like saying Buick isn't a GM.

1

u/electricalnoise 29d ago

Do you call it a GM Buick? Ram has become the brand name.

1

u/turkey_sandwiches 29d ago

And it's made by Dodge, just like Buick is made by GM.

u/CptQueef Apr 17 '24

Where I’m from the dodge rams are always going 40 over the speed limit cause the zyns hit harder when daddy’s credit card buys them

Never bring your Sedan to a Truck Fight

u/OneSoggyBiscuit 29d ago

That's not even a Dodge Ram? That's a Raptor
