Prius Drivers Are Nuts
If you own a Prius then please take yourself to the nearest DMV and have them retest your driving skills. And, if they pass you, please ask them to test you again. I have spoken to numerous people, including my wife, and they have all said the same thing, Prius drivers are the worst they have seen. I am not sure what it is, but they are out of their minds. Maybe they are dreaming of a nice, calm place or maybe they feel they are entitled to do whatever they want on the roads. Whatever the case may be, I hope to never drive near one of them again. On the drive home from the Oakland airport tonight, the only car on the bridge driving with their brights on was a guy in a Prius. Then when exiting onto 9th St., some psycho woman in her blue Prius decided she would ignore the solid white line and the turn signals her Prius comes with, and make a left into my lane while we were passing her in it. For your health and those you love, steer clear of the Prius driver…you will be better off for it.

People Who Believe A Certain Type of Car Makes You A Poor Driver Are Nuts. For you safety and continued mental health stay clear of people who write about such absurd overgeneralizations.

Could be a few things.
1. They’re more worried about killing the planet than the people that live on it.
2. They went out shopping for a car, but came home with a toy. It’s wrong to expect them to be smart enough to drive.
3. They’re furious that they actually fell for the hype and now they’re taking it out on other drivers that were smart enough to buy real cars.
4. They’re suicidal. Why else would anyone drive one of those in traffic where you’re surrounded by metal? It’s like going over Niagara Falls on a boogie board.
5. They’re just mad because everyone liked the episode of South Park that made fun of hybrid owners.

I agree that most Prius drievers are pretty horrible, however my sister owns one, and i noticed the blind spot is the most rediculous thing i have ever seen.
I have also been cut off by a woman in a prius, however at the next light when we were next to each other, she very politely apologized to me.
I think priuses do good things for the world and our environment…the just need to be redesigned with no outrageous blind spots!

Thank you! I just did a Google search about this and I found this site. I thought it was just a coincidence and since I’m not one to generalize I let it go. But the other day, when I nearly got run off the road by a prius driver who did not use his blinker and whose idea of a lane change is more of a gradual drift I decided it is really true. Prius drivers are the worst out there, worse even than BMW drivers who are also quite bad, but for different reasons. At least a BMW driver who cuts you off KNOWS he did so. My boss owns a prius and I noticed he just doesn’t really pay attention to the road. I also noticed that the more political bumper stickers the prius has, the worse the driver. Perhaps these guys are just preoccupied with everything. Who knows but it is true.
