They are subjectively the worst drivers on the road
And the most dui’s as well
When you consider that the root cause of both problems (owning a Dodge RAM truck and driving drunk) is absolutely terrible judgement, this correlation becomes rather self evident.
The vans are legit though. My mom has a '91 Dodge Ram 3500 15 passenger van that has gone all over the US hauling various groups of children, and that thing shows absolutely no signs of stopping any time soon with well over 350,000 miles on the ODO.
Dodge Ram came in Minibus form?? I always believed it was only huge Pickups!
Oh yeah, tons of em. I actually had a Dodge Ram 1500 conversion van that my girlfriend and I lived in for a summer. Allowed us to visit a bunch of national parks.
Yeah 92 Dodge D250 diesel truck here with around 500,000 miles and I just barely replaced the original starter. She's old faithful and towed 11,000 lbs over 1k miles this year. I am never tailgating or going much more than 5 over because I'm not a complete dick. Also its 6000 lbs dry weight so you should always give yourself stopping distance in case something goes wrong.
Dodge Ram: the official truck of married incels.
The truck that coined the phrase “rust free”
Was literally thinking of looking this up last night. God knows the demographics line up.
It’s was one of my conspiracy theories until it was proven
I have another one that we made people as a whole more stupid due to some man made reason, and then this was posted!

I’m 2 for 2
Let’s hope that microplastics don’t have a similar effect.
Shit we are heading for idiocracy so fast…
U tarded or somethin?
It's the cheapest truck of the major brands so bad drivers gravitate towards it.
Where I am from at least it’s also a status symbol. Not sure why if it’s the cheapest truck
Also every new vehicle with the ultra bright LED headlights anywhere that hills or bumps exist because the beam cutoff is a millimeter below retina burning height I swear.
As someone with a car from '07 it basically makes it impossible to drive safely at night, especially on really dark nights. There are points where you just straight up can't see because you're being blinded by someone coming towards you, not to mention your eyes just don't adjust to the dark anymore since it's happening more and more often.
Even new sedans have a bad time with all the SUVs and pickup trucks. There's not much you can do when the headlight is higher than the highest part of your vehicle.
It's a shame because I don't need the space, don't want to spend the extra money for gas + purchase price, but am risking my safety by not driving one of those monstrosities.
My general solution is to just not drive at night. Why do we subsidize these SUVs and pickup trucks by exempting them from emissions regulations?
I drive a mid 10s subcompact and I love the crap out of the car but yeah it’s terrible for this
Yeah, I can't count the amount of times where I assumed someone was flashing their lights at me, askesd myself what the fuck that fucker wanted just to notice that they were going over miniscule bumps in the road.... And I can only assume that my vehicle has done the same to soo many people as well...
If I recall correctly that was the reason why care manufacturers had standardized headlights for most of the past centurie where it all started as a quality control until lights started to be really good and the reason we kept using the standard round lights was to prevent people from having lights that would blind other drivers maybe we should bring that back onto trucks at least like of your headlights are going to be eye level they shouldn't be retna burning
Punctuation plz
What do you mean by "12 over"? The sound barrier I presume? Greeting from Germany
12 over the speed limit. Sound barrier would probably be funnier though.
Edit: oh... That went over my head lol
What is this "speed limit" you keep bringing up?
It's the thing that allows police in North America to justify their budgets.
Ooooh! I thought that was called "Civil forfeiture" and was about suing your home that it was a criminal or something.
I'm Canadian, that's a uniquely American experience
I thought the rule was, "Don't break the sound barrier, survival is optional."
That's what they tell you in driving school, so... More of a suggestion.
Its my main reason I drive with sunglasses on at night. People think I'm weird or stupid but then change their minds when a truck with lights brighter than the sun glare at them.....
Patrick that's 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔄𝔰𝔥𝔟𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯
I ended up buying a ram, it was cheaper (family employee discount). I'm giant, 6' 7" I tried a lot of vehicles but the first time I sat in it, I was just immediately comfortable. Every vehicle I've been in since my big boat of a Deville became too expensive to fix has been tight and uncomfortable.
I bought the ecodiesel, because at that time (pre-carbon tax) diesel was much cheaper. No 5.7L Hemi, no 6.2L Hellcat. When cold I can barely accelerate, when the turbo heats up it's a powerful engine designed to tow things. I get passed by these guys all day, and I get weird looks. I test drove a hemi, you don't need to try to go fast. It's actually harder to drive slow in that vehicle. My wife calls me grandpa because I drive so slow, behind the wheel of that hemi ram... I was a different person. None of this surprises me
Should probably go 12 mph under if you want them to pass
Then they'll brake check you after to punish you for being in their way
My car's rear view mirror is a camera. Really reduces the eye ball singe, wouldn't buy a car without it now
Every time. Also it is going to be a white one and the dude driving has at least one DUI.
Are ya ready kids?!
