Passenger stories thread. I'll start. >Driving on highway

>>14235890
You need to get new passengers.

Or better yet, none at all.

>>14235890
Did you kick them out?

>>14235906
>Tell them sorry for not handling the exit better.
>Say it wasn't acceptable to grab steering wheel, I was still under control of my vehicle, and I know what it can do.
>Reach destination.
>Tell friend who grabbed wheel to sit in back and switch places with other friend.

>>14235890
That is extremely dangerous and stupid
Passengers should never interfiere with the wheel, as a driver you could have counter steer instinctively and crash
I feel your anger bro

>Driving with my mom as a passenger
>Everything is perfectly fine
>She makes a terrible gasping noise as though we're going to crash and die
>Her:"I think I left my Kleenex package at home"
>>Feel my dead father's annoyance, and anger

>>14236008
>yfw passenger says something like that, and you think you're about to crash, or another car is going to hit you that you can't see.
>yfw it's completely unrelated.


always gets my goat

I ended up cutting all ties with my mother after this.

come on dude, the worst thing that would have happened is me rear ending him at 10mph, and it didn't happen because I'm not retarded

>>14236050
Yeah, I was screwing around in the winter with friends in the car, and they're like, "you weren't in control"........that's like your opinion bro

lol Florida

>>14236102

You've done the right thing, son.

>>14236102
Now I look back and truly see how batshit insane she was when I was growing up. I guess I wasn't exposed to her craziness all too often, but it certainly came out in full-force over that week. I didn't expect things to go the way they did, but honestly I don't care. She was a psychopath, I didn't want her around my son, and now I feel free.

She took simple requests like "stop changing the music" or "would you please get off the phone" to a level of unprecedented butthurt. Like I put a gypsy curse on her or something.

>>14236102
>She manages to get one long key scrape on my car


for FUCKS sakes

>>14236122
Thankfully it only penetrated the clear coat and paint, and I was able to buff it out with acetone.

>>14236113
She's from New York if it makes any difference. Her car's transmission failed for reasons I never bothered to ask, and she was driving down to Key West for holiday.

oh shit and i thought my mum was bad at least she just shuts her eyes and cries.

Good on ya mum

except for the one time she accidentally reversed over me and i fell on her boot and dented the shit out of it and then jumped on it to get her to stop.

That was a werid day

>buddy has a weird complex about his car driving skills compared to mine
>I started taking lessons about a year before him, passed the test first go, and got my provisional license for about 6 months before he started learning.

Fuck man. He's my friend, but he's a hypocritical cunt when it comes to driving. He either complains about me driving too slow, or says he's scared of my driving.

>>14235890
>Allowing someone to touch any of your controls.

I'd have made them walk back home, fucking fags.

>>14236008
My fucking mom does this every single day.

I once thought my sister was dying or suffocating on something and got up freaked out to check what's wrong, because she suddenly yelp/gasp/screeched at something completely unimportant.

Women have no control over their emotions, and have been brainwashed from childhood into abusing others and coercing them emotionally to their own advantage.

The most passive-aggressive thing one should do when being passenger and not feeling safe is grab the handle above you. My dad, may god rest his soul, used to do this every fucking time when he was uncomfortable with my driving. Back then it was really annoying, but it sure taught me how to drive so that my passengers don't feel unsafe.

>>14236806
I do this because it's comfy

>>14236736
I can feel.his reasons though
I.usually dislike.other.people driving if they have a.different style than.i do

Jusr cant anticipate the breaking and no control when you feel.unsafe as a passenger.

He doesnt have to.be a dick about it though

>>14235915
No, they could've killed you.

I would pull them the fuck over beat the shit out of them and make them walk home.

>>14235890
>be on early driving lesson
>be in leftmost right-turn only lane
>turning right
>the instructor grabs my wheel and puts me back in the correct line because I started drifting right.
Based
The reason I did it is because I have never before been anywhere but the rightmost lane so when this time I was turning right I forgot that I was just in the left lane and went back to the default setting.
At least this happened while someone qualified was sitting in the passenger seat and I learned to stay in my lane before I was let roam free

>>14236044
>>14236102
Isn't this a copypasta?

>driving somewhere with my mom
>traffic ahead of me slows abruptly
>I get on the brakes hard as well
>mom starts going on about how shitty a driver I am and how I nearly killed her blablabla

Would you have preferred me to rear end the guy in front of me you dumb cunt?

>>14236940
Trick is to release the brake when you get close to a full stop, and gently brake afterwards.
Passengers that get thrown around less are less likely to bitch about your driving.

I have one from me being a passenger and one from me being a driver.

>Driving dads drinking buddies to the boozer at night
>Route takes me some good driving roads so I'm driving a pace, but not fast.
>Taking corners 10-20mph slower than I would if I was pushing it
>Overtake some oldies going 50mph on a mile long straightaway
>"Slow down son no need to go to fast" as I'm doing 65 in a 60, to overtake a 50
>tempted to put it around the corners at a decent speed but decide against it in a shitbox carrying 400kg extra in middle aged men
>trying to not tell him to stfu when I went doing toegays on the roads at night every day for years after I got my first car

I don't even understand why he's so cautious, he speeds like fuck himself although he's extremely cautious on the revs.. He even got me doing carting for years, I think he's just salty I didn't go further into racing even though I'm interested in it now.

>>14235890
>Passenger
>grabs steering

HELL FUCKING NO!!!!!!! beat them to death

>>14235890
>passengers grabbing the wheel while I'm driving
That's a good way to get your ass kicked.

>>14237081
got told pretty much this by my driving instructor who used to be a bus driver

>>14237253
He just cares about you anon.

>>14236008

My wife did this once. I chewed her ass so bad.

>about to pull out into intersection
>nose out
>gasps and screams as if the dog had just be ran over coming from wife in passenger seat
>I tense up
>start scanning parameter, waiting for immanent crash
>life flashes before my eyes
>seconds feel like hours, heart racing
>slowly start to calm down
>wtf no one is coming, nothing is wrong here
>she says "oh i left my phone at the gas station can we go back"
>BITCH IF YOU EVER

>>14237253
Forgot to add that those roads were awesome, always end up going out around 9-11pm every night and getting it to the limit on the harsh corners. Roasted some much faster cars on the tighter sections.

Myself as a passenger story.

>Driving down dual carriageway in mums car, like 11 at this point
>She's literally the death of any car, she never does maintenance, doesn't use gears properly, I used to do her turn signals for her as she forgot.
>Massive horrendous noise in the car, awful vibration
>Mum gets angry and yells at me"Shut that damn window son its too loud"
>Other drivers on the road are making mad signals with their hands to pull over
>Mum finally realizes something isn't right and pulls over
>rear right tire is completely destroyed, we were driving on the hubs, no idea how she never noticed it
>I'm massively late to school, i just said I was in a traffic jam then the teacher asked me what kind of jam so I said raspberry
>Teacher was massively camp dude

other shit my mum did

>Exhaust on her honda civic dropped off so she got it temporarily fixed with a cola can bracket by roadside rescue, never bothered to fully fix it and left the coke exhaust on
>Only uses 1st, 3rd and 5th gears, does block shifts from 1-3 and 3-5 when revs get high - in a diesel.
>Permanently runs on low fuel and only puts 10-20 quid in the tank at a time, never understood why anyone would do that.
>Doesn't check mirrors often

I don't get the stories about people changing the radio, that's the most triggering shit ever. I put up with some awful music in peoples cars because that shit is the drivers say.

Toegaying around the countryside tracks was sick though, managed to roast cars quite a bit faster on the tighter sections.

>>14236860
Fucking savage

Awesome passenger stories?

>years ago, have cutie gril friend
>in muh turbo car
>on low traffic interstate
>she says "wow i thought this car was fast" and winks at me
>I push it
>tire sequels for a second
>she yells woo
>get it up to 165mph on a long stretch
>fingerbang her that night after a couple beers
>then she moved to dallas like 2 days later and never saw her again

>>14237344
>then I woke up

>>14236736
The only solution to people who think you're taking corners too fast, is to take the corners even faster. It'll either scare them into shutting up, show you can handle the car, or they'll start bitching, in which case they can just walk.

>>14237081
So much this.

>>14236736
lol apart from the jdm fag i am literally that friend.

except
>crashed couple of times so know my limit
>only hoon when nobody is around
your mate is a cunt ai

>>14237291
>>Permanently runs on low fuel and only puts 10-20 quid in the tank at a time, never understood why anyone would do that.
Semi-permanent weight reduction which can increase MPG - if you're a serious hypermiler.

>>14236044
That based 417 late night drive tho 2-4 am on weeknights

>>14237935
>crashed a couple of times so I know my limit

I don't get this meme, unless you are going a decent way over 'the limit' of your car most situations should be recoverable unless you're willingly going full ham on a dangerous part of road.

As for adverse conditions there's no real excuse for that either, only push the limits on a road you've hit before.

I get why people do go to the limit on unknown roads, it's fun. How did you end up crashing.

>>14235890
my rules are as follows
>if i need directions, i will ask you
>if i need advice, i will ask you
>if you touch my radio, i will slap you
>if you touch my steering wheel, i will kick the fuck out of you.
god bless you

Lol @ both of you. You got told retards.

First guy admits he wasn't paying attention and second guy probably wasn't in control and thinks he's a good driver because he watched an anime about it.

Your friends know idiots when they see it. Good on them.

>>14237253
You're retarded. People don't like being a passenger in a fucking childs initial D fantasy.

if you want to drive fast do it without other people in the car OR people that don't mind going fast.

christ, grow up.

dude stop typing in memes. i could barely get through your story.

>>14239444
>5mph over the limit
>fast
Not him but are you clinically retarded

>>14239495
You said you were going around corners. The speed limit doesn't apply to corners. You're a retarded child who thinks he's a race car driver. If your passengers are uncomfortable then you should slow down. It's pretty much that simple. Like I said, grow up.

>>14239495
I hope you realize that just because a speed limit is 50mph doesn't mean you can take the slowest corners on the road at the speed limit
