That's my new pet peeve. The thing is I don't remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone's brains way more than we realize.
Someone stopped in front of meβ¦ on an offramp. Luckily there was nobody behind me to hit me, but thatβs an insane place to stop. No hazard lights, no indication. Just stopped.
I once got caught behind someone who came to an abrupt stop in a roundabout so they could go to the next episode / video on their iPad that they had attached to their dashboard.
I once had someone do an emergency stop in front of me for no apparent reason in the fast lane of a not very busy motorway. I barely managed to stop in time from high speed.
Drag doesn't mind it, because it only inconveniences car drivers and not any important people.
