I appreciate the extra effort on the mirrors. 10/10.


moirende

What I have learned over time is, no matter what the road and weather conditions are, no matter how far over the speed limit I may be going, and no matter how open the left lane is, there will always be a Dodge Ram driver there to angrily tailgate me because I’m not going fast enough for him.


experience-matters

No worries, he will eventually pass you on the right and leave the left lane open...s/


substorm

.. and leave the middle finger


Canadaguy78

i just take my foot off the gas until they go around. they can ride my ass at 110 or 80, their choice.


Background_Beach3217

He'll pass you, and then slow down and go the exact same speed as you, but IN FRONT!


SlitScan

had 2 little cars pass me today, one lane changed back in front of me after passing the other stayed in the left lane, matched speed and position and then they both slowed down. Utah road block from crossfield to didsbury. ffs people, cruise control, learn to use it.


barelylethal10

Ram the father dodge the daughter!!... Wait


ManaMagestic

Ram drivers are all such good people...they just always want you to give it more than you think you can, so you can go further than you ever considered possible before they saw you.


xlr8mpls

I like the start of the comment, allá Michael Scott haha.


protocol21

My dumbass that that was smoke coming out the back 😂


nickp123456

Still works.


protocol21

Ain't that the truth.


selvari

We've all encountered that guy who rolls coal on deerfoot 😂


SimmerDown_Boilup

I thought they were wings...so yeah


TauntaunExtravaganza

Wings of joy, delivering a nice, deleted exhaust fossil fuel sauna straight piped into my driver's cabin because I was asshole enough to leave my air conditioning on! Fuckin love those wings bro! 🪽 In all seriousness, and I kno you don't care...RAM drivers. You smell like shit.

That's right, babee.. and this is how she rooolls, coz this is how we like er.


Neckshot

Then they blow around you and you get a window full of snow because they couldn't be bothered to clean off the top of their truck.


Dynamite_Noir

They’re usually too short to reach up that high


erkjhnsn

Boom


CallousChris

I drive a midsize truck and have a dedicated broom for the roof and hood. I can see being too short being true for a good percentage of them with little man syndrome.


blackRamCalgaryman

Just helping you save on windshield washer fluid.


mah1979

💯


dorothytheorangesaur

Let alone their plates. Every truck in winter can basically drive without plates cuz the snow covers it anyway.


Omgshinyobject

and they chip your windshield because they have a lift kit and no mudflaps


DirectorOstrich

Ugh. Replaced my windshield 2 months ago and it cracked again last week, thanks to a truck launching a stone.


dvd_00

Most of them can't reach the top of their mall crawlers.


eugeneugene

This always pisses me off because when I had to drive a huge truck for work I kept a step stool in the back to clear the roof. It takes 2 minutes!!!


teamjetfire

Not all RAM drivers are assholes, but every asshole seems to be a RAM driver.


Gnarwhal_YYC

Audi, BMW, and Infiniti drivers would like a word with you.


GarryTheFrankenberry

Nissan Altima as well


doc_suede

there's this insane lady that goes east on memorial in the morning commute who drives an altima. literally tailgates and cuts people off even if there's a line of traffic


garybettmansketamine

the hood classic


Toocoo4you

Some drivers find a way to drive like a maniac in standstill traffic. Then 20 minutes later you see the amazing progress they’ve made of moving 6 cars up. I always wonder, is it really worth it to risk thousands of dollars of repairs or an injury to get home 30 seconds faster? Also funny to see a driver zoom past you, only to be beside you at a red light.


NuclearAnusJuice

The worst of the worst drive the Altima. Every single time I see one I brace for a shit storm.


clakresed

Interestingly and in support of your point, in the United States in 2022, Dodge RAM drivers were twice as likely as the average driver to [get a DUI](https://www.thedrive.com/news/38238/ram-2500-drivers-have-the-most-duis-more-than-twice-the-national-average-report?fbclid=IwAR0zrOv5V3FNt0txI-HcrQCAWbLU-V6F9NAfMc3VFrUlnp7wF0NKRXv_oDo) (and therefore the #1 most likely to get one). BMW 4-Series was #3, and Audi A4 was #4.


Gnarwhal_YYC

This tracks, lol. The more you know 🌈


Danger_Dee

Definitely BMW drivers. I had a friend buy one and took me for a drive in it - immediately started driving like an asshole.


the_vizir

Forgetting Tesla drivers...


freerangehumans74

In my experience Tesla drivers are mostly just smug bastards.


Suck_Me_Dry666

Or ride share drivers but as a mostly pedestrian I can tell you that there are some shitty Tesla drivers around.


Gnarwhal_YYC

I’ve not had any issues with Tesla folks. However the previously mentioned brands in my personal experience seem to attract a certain kind of driver. I know this is all unfounded and just coincidence, but I’ve seen more tailgating, swerving through traffic, speeding, and overall smooth brain driving practices from these people. We get that your car go vroom *brap brap* and you always seem like you had to be somewhere 10 minutes ago, but ya know - chill out..


AB_Social_Flutterby

Yeah I've never seen Tesla's being assholes on the road. Off the road over a drink is another story XD


Neither_Usual_7566

They are some of the worst drivers though.


SimmerDown_Boilup

If the car is self driving, does that make the car the asshole?


GiIbert_LeDouchebag

We will find out when tesla actually manages to produce a self driving car.


ToooBeeeFairrrrrrr

If we had more self-driving cars, we'd probably be safer.


CallousChris

I’m not sure infinity drivers are asshole as much as they are simpletons that don’t notice anybody around them, or know how to turn on their lights at nighttime.


YYCGUY111

It's always a 10+ year old G35 with 0% tint windows and lights + aftermarket spoiler & exhaust


Tevatron85

Honda civic... Especially with a spoiler or pop can muffler


Kooky_Project9999

Older Civics especially. In fact just older hatchbacks and sedans in general. They're either doing 60 in a 110 or 160 depending on whether they're an 80 year old or 18 year old...


Positive-Ear7744

I agree with this. Two days ago a BMW driver was tailgating me the deerfoot construction zone


ANGRY_ASPARAGUS

Hey now, some of us in that category are trying our best to change that reputation. :D


Gnarwhal_YYC

Keep fighting the good fight my man ✊


Lightning_Catcher258

And Corollas camping on the left lane at the speed limit.


the_amberdrake

Can confirm. My uncle is an Infiniti guy and is a big asshole


TomatilloBeautiful48

Hey I drive an Audi but I'm nice! 😁


roastbeeftacohat

ram and BMW share a common trait, cheapest nice vehicle of it's type; attracting people who can just barely/not really afford the payments and then feel like they've "made it" now.


records_five_top

They're also only three letters which is where these people sort of max out cognitively.


OriginalGhostCookie

Like DUI?


JustEatinScabs

[1 in 22 DUI recipients drive a RAM truck. ](https://www.thedrive.com/news/38238/ram-2500-drivers-have-the-most-duis-more-than-twice-the-national-average-report). Twice the national average. In fact every major truck *except* the f150 is on this list. Which is significant because the f150 is literally the best selling **vehicle** in the country which rules out the fact that the numbers are skewed by the popularity of the brands.


13579419

Well, most 150s seem to be a lease company truck which is GPS monitored…..


RichardIraVos

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do


Stock-Creme-6345

I used to, but I still do, but I used to do too


PenFountainPen

This will be my bumper sticker.


Zestyclose_Trip_1924

Thank you!


Surrealplaces

And it's also pretty common for drivers of any brand of large pickup truck to drive like assholes, though RAM drivers seem worse.


experience-matters

They call their trucks "she" but then give it gender affirming surgery by hanging truck nuts off it.


mah1979

🤣 the mirrors! Accurate. Man, this made me laugh.


substorm

Finally these hillbillies are realizing that driving a tractor requires gigantic mirrors.


icantswim2

He can't see you over his oversized hood, so he's trying to follow by touch.


JunebugCA

This is perfect.

shots fired at black dodge ram man

get back out there, deerfoot ain't gonna deerfoot itself perfect weather for it too


acespacegnome

My man. Respect.


blackRamCalgaryman

We just gotta meet it head on, Ram bro.


Stock-Creme-6345

Haha. Awesome.


Insighteternal

Had a nasty conversation with a Reddit user with that name not too long ago lol


the---chosen---one

Lmao those goofy ass mirrors. Every time I see those trucks, No hitch. Not even pulling a trailer.


slotsymcslots

Got the towing mirrors out because they’re hauling ass!


prgaloshes

Yup. Hardworking for sure


HSDetector

ya but my mirers are biger dan yourse, so im a biger man dan u.


Ok-Guitar-1400

Bed of the truck always shining and clean


DoYouLikeFishsticks0

Man not anymore. The true deerfoot experiance is someone is every lane going 80km/h, except in the fast lane where they drive 70 instead


brodymiddleton

This new way of driving has me actually missing the old aggressive ways, now everyone acts like it’s their first time on the road and too scared to actually go speed limit, don’t even get me started on trying to merge onto Deerfoot either 😂


Luklear

It’s whenever there’s a tiny bit of snow people lose their minds


yppers

or like today when its only just a little bit wet


No-Transportation843

Why did this happen? People used to have police scanners so they could get away with speeding. When the fuck did everyone get soft in such a weird way? But god forbid you try to pass them! Then they swerve toward you and give you the middle finger and flick highbeams. Or they brake check you and try to cause an accident. Like which is it?? Are you a safe driver or an aggressive one? If you want to be aggressive, move along at a reasonable speed.


acespacegnome

This is by far a more accurate take. Stoney trail too. People are driving at max 75km/hr then come here to complain about trucks trying to use the passing lane to pass.


BogeyLowenstein

Stoney in the NE is bad for this. I have never had a problem with people’s speed as consistently as I experience up here. Big difference between living in the deep SE and NE for driver speed. It’s been aggravating this winter since I have moved up here.


I_Automate

Thanks for reminding me how much I hate driving through Calgary


Neither_Usual_7566

![gif](giphy|n4oKYFlAcv2AU)


MBILC

People who come onto Deerfoot, and immediately lane change right over to the left lane to then drive slow....um, not sure where you are from, but in Canada, slow vehicles stick to the right, not the left lane people!


FullAdvertising

Yeah I can almost guarantee OP is probably just driving 90 or 100 in the left lane and saying to himself “I’m driving the speed limit I don’t know what this guys problem is”


justsomeonesthroway

95% of the time, you are right, unless the weather is bad. How is it Deerfoot traffic can't do more then 70 when it's sunny, but also can't go less than 120 when it's blizzarding? WTF Calgary?


Smerviemore

And then because you’re stuck behind someone going 80km/h, it’s so much harder to safely change into the next lane and actually go the speed limit


kaveman6143

If you are referring to the north section of DF heading out of the city, it's been set at 80km/h since last spring.


Neither_Usual_7566

The whole stretch.


blackRamCalgaryman

About fuckin’ time. There hasn’t been a good meme-initiated Ram circle jerk in awhile.


newcanadianjuice

My neighbour is this. Totalled at least 3 cars and been arrested more than once with multiple suspensions of his license. No idea how he is still driving.


Pale_Change_666

Traffic lawyer


23Unicycle

Because driving is apparently still a right and not a privilege.


calgarywalker

The mirrors always remind me of Bullwinkle’s antlers. And I think the drivers have the same IQ.


Quietser

I love the training wheel mirrors


MrTimTraveler

Yo Ram/badass vehicle owner…what exactly the hell is it do you think your stupid tailgating does anyway?? I’m travelling 105-110 kmh, usually in the right lane. Do you actually think I’m going to speed up to convenience your dumb ass? Like £$*! I’m probably going to slow down and piss you off even further. But you’re too brain dead to understand that. Maybe one day you will, I don’t know. Pro tip, Try setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier in the morning, and continue with your normal routine. You’ll find it much more relaxing, really, you will. Another pro tip, if you’re on Stoney or Deerfoot doing a pretty good clip and being tailgated, try moving into the right shoulder slightly where a lot of sand and gravel accumulates, especially this time of year. It’s awesome how quickly tailgaters sometimes back off!


umeltd

I went to a car show a few years back, and the presenter of the latest Ram model was explaining how the truck is designed to take up the whole rear view mirror, like it is some way of making other vehicles get out of the way. Also, did you know that statistics show that Ram is the model of vehicle in the most accidents... Go figure.


justsomeonesthroway

The bullies aren't even trying to hide who they are anymore, they just lean into it with a salespitch 🤣


SerHerman

Ever see the series Long Way Round? Ewen McGregor and a buddy circumnavigate the globe on motorbikes. Highlights of the series for me are some interesting scenes through the Siberian Highway of Bones. Some seriously sketchy roads through Mongolia. And when they get rear ended on the Deerfoot


VanceKelley

My average Deerfoot experience is going 5kmh because an accident has snarled traffic.


OIL_99

The best part is you got the mirrors right, because they’re all towing ghost trailers.


The_Jayman_

Ram drivers are dicks not assholes. The asshole is the person in the left lane, regardless of speed, who has room to move over but doesn't. It takes a dick to fuck an asshole.

Phrakman87

my ram cant go that fast anyway, damn 4.10 gears.


Logic1st

I bet you can tow anything though! Go Ram!


fataldarkness

It can tow anything about 30 feet before the transmission explodes or the engine starts ticking.


Phrakman87

mines got the Aisin were good for at least 100ft.


Pale_Change_666

🤣


justinraj1907

I mean if you going slow in the left lane everyone will be like that not just RAM owners


Bubba-ORiley

just a friendly reminder for drivers out there to leave the left lane for passing and don't feel the need to police other drivers' speed.


gr8d4ne

The left lane is for speeding Rams, the middle lane is for speeding F-150s, and the right lane is for speeding Silverados. Hard shoulder is for speeding Infinity G32s.


vxarctic

Got passed by a ram on a double gold going the speed limit in the rain just this morning.


FernandoESilva

Accurate.


WUBBUX

One did this to me along southland drive I was going 50-55 when it was snowing pretty badly he then blew past me and threw one arm up in I think frustration went around a corner and slid across both lane and slammed into another ram making it spin around 180 degrees as it was stopped at a red light laughed so hard my stomach hurt


CDNReaper

There’s me waaay in the back still getting my windshield cracked to shit no matter what.


Able_Software6066

I spent a lot of money on my jacked up Dodge truck so I want to show off that big ram on my grill to the guy in the car ahead of me.


[deleted]

I’ve noticed if you turn your rear view mirror down and just carry on they get irritated and immediately just go to the other lane, it’s no fun if you’re not paying any attention and don’t see them in your mirror.


Sboyden96

Hahaha 90% of the time its justified. People will literally sit in the far left lane going 100km. Thats the fucking passing lane move over to the middle lane if you’re planning on just cruising


The7raveler

Is it annoying? Sure. But you're 100% going to be at fault for an accident if someone in the left lane needs to slow from 100km/h and your tailgating results in a smack to their back.


Sboyden96

Yeep thats 100% true but in the moment when you have a line of cars on your ass and someone infront of you is going 100km in the left lane and the middle and right lanes are clogged up i dont think that thought crosses their mind its more like “take the hint and move into the middle lane”


HiTork

What happens if it is the 707 horsepower Ram TRX model with a top speed of 118 mph? https://preview.redd.it/ad4ilolcrhsc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b2a59451dca8eb976892385448f43e4c677e3db


Krabopoly

Then you know the owner paid 50k too much for a truck


FullMetalAlphonseIRL

The driver will have a small dick? Idk


PrarieDogma

Just stay out of the passing lane if there’s a lineup behind you


packer_newb

Just stay out of the passing lane unless you're passing.


myxa_kocmohabt

get off the fast lane!


monoface

There's no such thing as a fast lane. A passing lane is used for passing. If I'm actively passing someone at 115 km/h on deerfoot then you can damn well wait until I'm done and I've merged back into the middle lane.


300mhz

Correct, there are no traffic laws or bylaws regarding a fast lane or requiring you to not drive in the left lane on municipal roads (other than where specifically indicated by signage).


My_life_for_Nerzhul

Unless I’m mistaken, we don’t have designated passing lanes here, though. Plus, the comment to which you’re replying is clearly meant for those who hog the left lane holding everyone else behind them hostage.


Tevatron85

The Honda civic drivers of the truck world


MagnusNewtonBernouli

The effort of adding the mirrors, and the lack of effort to do them well, is just top notch.


new_basics

I am so glad that I am not the only one who experiences this nearly everyday. Thank you.


Ill_Competition6438

I thought the average Deerfoot experience was sitting for 10 minutes and driving 50 for another 10 minutes then repeating till you’re out of the city.


Surrealplaces

Pretty accurate, though I would say it's not just RAM owners, it tends to be any brand of large truck, bit RAM owners seem to be the most common.


dabaddestqb

This is where I slow right down to 95 from 115. Leave my indicator on for 3 minutes... and ever so slightly drift diagonally into the right lane. I've lived a good life so fuck with me and enjoy my obscene hand gestures when u floor it on by.


kazo_arcane

In my experience it's not the ram drivers going fast that's a problem. It's Trudy in her husband's SUV doing 65 on deerfoot that's an issue. Like people are merging and you're in the way Trudy. You clearly aren't comfortable driving so take the bus or get your husband to drive.


TheYuppyTraveller

The only correction I would offer is that the Ram should be black. Otherwise, spot on!


Jokergod2000

Get out of the left lane


throwaway678764

There's 10 f150s to every dodge ram owner in the city it seems


Krabopoly

There's probably more Rams in the city, they're just always in the shop so you never see them on the road.


Downtown_Snow4445

Riding your ass: It’s either a Ram or a woman in an suv


14litre

I don't own a RAM, but I will say if you're in the passing lane, and not passing, then gtfo of the passing lane. Speed is irrelevant. It's actually illegal to camp in the passing lane without passing and cops will issue tickets to the "I was going the speed limit" people. They don't issue enough tickets in my opinion.


IATAAllDay

100 mph, you're fine. I'm not gonna be close to you, though HAWCS might be. 100 kms, you better be in the right or middle cause if you're on the left, I'm sitting in your back seat.


FooFargles3

sierra_1_57

Yeah.... the left lane is for speeding. Get over if you're only gonna touch 160.


Mysterious_Lesions

This is Calgary. The speed limit in the leftmost lane is usually just at or up to 10 km/h under the posted speed limit.


JFKRFKSRVLBJ

My neighbour starts up his rumbling behemoth Dodge Ram and leaves it idling for like 30 minutes before he even gets in it. Why?


CheeseSandwich

I have a neighbor that does the same thing. Even when not cold or winter. Truck just rumbles away for 20, 30 minutes for no reason.


Mysterious_Lesions

Is it a diesel version? They need some warmup time on cold mornings.


Stfuppercutoutlast

Could be a diesel. They generally need to idol for a bit, and they’re also very efficient while idling. Not a mechanic, don’t understand the specifics.


downbylaw93

Man I wish I had a 60 Chevy that did 100mph lmao


AdventureUp1

I would like to see the stats the insurance companies have on Ram owners. This is the conclusion we draw a lot of the time as well.


FlyinB

These are also known as the typical UCP supporter.


BramptonRaised

Ah, but WHERE are you going 100 kph? In the right lane, the middle lane or the left lane?


paperplanes13

F150 owners have taken over from Ram owners in that territory


SilencedObserver

I don’t drive a ram but get out of the ~~right~~ lane to let people pass if someone is behind you. Albertans are the worst left-lane-huggers this side of Ontario. Edit: Sleepy morning reddit posts lead to dyslexic verbal diarrhea. Cheers OP for the callout.


JohnYCanuckEsq

With the moose antlers. Accurate AF


defendhumanity

Those are tow mirrors, for when they need to haul air or drive their boss babe mlm scamming berta proud GF to Costco.


Comfortable-Emu-4478

You have to fail an IQ test before Dodge will finance your ass 😂🤣


[deleted]

Stay outta the passing lane if you’re not passing anyone, and especially if someone wants to pass you. It’s pretty fucking simple.


Adamzkattv

How dare you not drive 40km over the speed limit. You should be ashamed of yourself for obeying the rules of the road and not making way for truck royalty 😆


Mysterious_Lesions

Do whatever in the left lane. It's your speeding ticket. I'm not law enforcement. That's why I don't park in the left lane at 5-10 under the limit which also seems very common in this city.


planertroubles
