Phoenix Drivers (price, law, license plates)

EDIT - What do you mean intentions? I just find that Phoenix drivers are worse than most citys.

Couldn't agree more Karma or whatever your other name was. Mind you most of the people driving on the road are probably not Arizona born.

Right...

Do you think you're special or something?

Sorry I ruffled your feathers <-- apology.

No need to apologize.

But you’re already a stereotype for driving 1 of those stupid trucks. Get mad all you want, but it’s true. Tuff beans, Get used to it.

Have a nice day.

Not all truck drivers are stupid, but this is something we deal with, truck drivers have a bad rep.

Trend-slaves in their crossover SUVs are lowest form of motoring life.

Aye...if you drive a truck and use it for off-roading and for hauling stuff (either recreational or for work), cool. Those are the intended uses for trucks.

What gets me are people who drive a gargantuan SUV or jacked-up truck from their house to the Fry's two minutes down the street and back, and are typically the only person in the vehicle. Just seems like an incredible waste of gas, but what do I know? I've never felt compelled to drive a vehicle that sits higher than everyone else's just for the sake of doing so. Hell, I drive a car that has little-to-no chance of surviving a head-on or t-bone collision with a Ford Focus.

Those guys are douche bags, we call them mall crawlers, as opposed to rock crawlers.

Ha, "mall crawlers"

I'd reckon it could also (in some cases) be "small peepee syndrome." You get the same thing from some people who own sports or custom cars

That's not to say I don't appreciate the automobiles or trucks themselves, but their owners sometimes leave a lot to be desired...

I have noticed that many men under 5'10 are insecure about their height, most of them drive these type of trucks.

I wouldn't say the same for custom cars, those are a passion for some, not to make them look good.

There is always someone who thinks they should get to drive whatever speed they like, everyone else is stupid and a horrid driver, and the fast lane is theirs only.

Your last line here is interesting, as it applies to YOU in spades.

The fast lane is for faster drivers -- period. Slower drivers keep to the right. That's the law, and it's also common courtesy. You are not the police, and it is NOT your job to enforce traffic speeds. You do not get dictate to the people behind how fast they should be driving. How totally arrogant it is to try and enforce some arbitrary speed picked by you. If people want to go 74 MPH in a 65 zone or faster, let them. YOU are creating road-rage and interfering with traffic patterns by causing people to pass you on the right. You should think long and hard about your approach to driving and your interactions with other human beings, as your current behavior is sociopathic.
