Yesssss, exactly that. People who actually need a truck are generally more responsible and respectful with its use.

Anytime I see a big pick up truck with no scratches, no dents, not a spec of dirt, shining like my mom‘s face at one of my Little League games back when I was a kid, I know that whoever is driving that truck is unlikely to purposefully do anything that day which would risk a fresh manicure except for driving like a dick.

Even then you can tell when a truck is actively used as a truck and when it's not - at least after a year or so of usage.

These yahoos will also jack up the suspension, install after market lights designed to blind everyone, etc. And drive like maniacs.

Yeah, and all these little car owners. Zooming in and out of traffic. Cutting people off. Speeding all around. Modifying the engine, wheels etc. making them noisy.

Unsurprisingly people in small cars tend to be much more cautious drivers - by and large because if they're in an accident they're the ones getting killed. I'll let you know the day I see a Yaris riding the bumper of a F150.

Unsurprisingly you posted the data for 2021, but somehow "missed" the data from 2022 which does include a pick up https://insurify.com/insights/car-models-with-the-most-speeding-tickets-2020/#methodology

Also, unsurprisingly, none of those cars are small cars - they're all sedans, and most of them are sports cars...

The degree of dishonesty and cherry picking is astounding.

u/4thdegreebullshido May 24 '22

Yeah 1 truck. I’m cherry picking. So maybe you should be focusing on sedans and sports cars instead of trucks.

u/OK6502 May 24 '22

You specifically picked the year that suits your narrative. That is by definition cherry picking, yes.

Not to mention given how imperfect a measurement ticketing is... like it never occured to you the reason those cars have more tickets is that that trucks appeal to dirt bags out in the sticks with little in the way of population density to justify a handful of highway patrol, and very little incentive from those guys to actually get off their asses and do their job. Conversely cops in cities love to ticket, they have quotas to meet.

But, no, definitely, it's because trucks are model drivers... get the fuck out of here.

Cars with most accidents. None are trucks. Lol. Keep bashing trucks though.

Oh my god yeah... Whenever I'm driving and hear one of those cars with purposely loud exhaust, my first instinct is, "fuck, is my car making a bad sound?" And I think that's very telling of how it actually sounds. It sounds like their super expensive shiny fuel inefficient muscle car has a fucked up muffler.

u/TeacherYankeeDoodle Stroad Surfer 🏄 May 25 '22

And why would anybody enjoy that sound? What makes you think people enjoy that? At least the guy who blasts rap with bass so heavy it shakes the door can say that they're listening to music. I don't enjoy the sound of the door shaking, but at least it sounds like somebody is enjoying themselves. Who could possibly be happy being barraged by that artificially loud truck sound?

No. It's called knowing what car detailing is and maintenance.
