Friends: 3 | Re: Stupid Prius Driver I'm not sure if this video was staged or not, but I have seen A LOT of stupid Prius drivers on the roads, just like any other vehicle. With any vehicle that has sold millions, there are going to be some stupid people that drive them. Just last week, I was accelerating slowly in the right lane, being tailgated by a Prius, the driver "floors" it and goes around me and cuts me off and keeps accelerating (no brake lights from them, thank God). As I am slowly accelerating, I notice the Prius driver has become stuck behind cars up ahead, and I soon catch up. The road diverges and the other cars go to the left, while the Prius and I go to the right. Oddly as heck, the Prius driver takes the outside lane on the freeway clover that goes to the right. Without trying to, with my car being in the inside lane, I slowly pass the Prius. As the curve ends and the road straightens out, sure enough, the Prius driver is on my bumper again. Same thing happens again... the Prius shoots around me when there is clearly thick traffic ahead, and then the Prius is blocked by traffic and I'm soon driving side-by-side them again.

Friends: 37 | Re: Stupid Prius Driver That video's been floating around for a long time and the general assumption is that it was faked. Nobody's come up with any news reports/stories, no reliable source, nada. |

Friends: 3 | Re: Stupid Prius Driver Perhaps Obama could launch a new program where people trade in SUVs for small cars, the SUVs are parked on a train track with a retired locomotive plowing through them in a safe location (where locomotive crash tests are carried out), and the program could be called "Crash the Clunkers" It looks like SUV drivers win the stupid award: http://sf.streetsblog.org/wp-content...ket_crash3.jpg .
