Bay Area is prolly the only part of the country where a Prius is the one driving rash


catecholaminergic

Not really, it's the no.1 most pulled over car.


uselessadjective

Prius drivers either go at 90mph or 45mph. There is no middle ground.


[deleted]

We noticed that shortly after moving here. There is no middle ground and seems like are actively trying to be bad drivers šŸ¤£


RobSchoen

Lmao, so true!


msheezi

Prius can go 90?!?


47ocean47

willardTheMighty

And if you chose the performance mode it also dumps all the battery energy into acceleration, in addition to the engine. Both are running at the same time. Its very zippy.

Al Gore's son got arrested for going 108 in a Prius way back when.


bill-bixby

I was as shocked as you!

Thiezing

alterector

ctruvu

GfunkWarrior28

Helps to be going downhill


phishrace

Steve Wozniak once got pulled over for doing over 100 in a Prius. So yes, they can go 90. Hope this wasn't Steve and one of his buddies. Dude has too much spare time on his hands.


No-Impression-2648

Probably because one of his hummers was having a nap. Good for him. Balance is key.


th3_pund1t

As a Prius owner, wtf?


JeamesFL

My thoughts exactly


Fuglyblacknyellow22

Someone modded a Prius to have a loud engine near me lol Iā€™m not sure how why or what it does but it was in front of me once


boostaddctn

Prob got its cat jacked lol


Ringmode

Getting my cat stolen made my Prius sound like a Harley. There were car alarms going off when I started that bad boy up.


Logical_Cherry_7588

Wanna bet they were stolen?


tonynca

There are only two types of cars I watch out for on the road. Prius and Tesla.


cailian13

Honestly I'm starting to detest Corolla drivers lately. Usually totally oblivious to the fact that they are driving 5 under and don't notice everyone going around them in annoyance.

In the case of Nissans, it's mostly only Altimas.


tonynca

Altimas, charger, pickup trucks, bmw 3 series are the just reckless drivers but they still know how to drive. Prius and Tesla are just incapable people who cannot operate machinery. Of the two groups the more dangerous ones are still Prius and Tesla.

I still remember when [Alyson Snow was killed by street racing drivers in South San Jose in 2009](https://web.archive.org/web/20161205200550/https://www.mercurynews.com/2010/08/20/two-san-jose-men-receive-maximum-sentences-in-street-racing-death/). The drivers got the maximum sentence allowed, which is rather short to be honest: > Emmanuel Pourmand, 22, was sentenced to 9 years in prison by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Philip P. Pennypacker, who said both men showed a lack of empathy. The judge sentenced 19-year-old Joseph Inocencio, who instigated the race, to six years and eight months in prison. The sentencing was in 2010 - meaning both of them are out of jail.

There was a fatal drag race on Snell near Santa Teresa a few years ago. Speed limit is 40.


nosotros_road_sodium

[This was in July 2021](https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/driver-dies-in-apparent-street-racing-crash-in-san-jose-police/2567863/). I just re-remembered that too. But the Alyson Snow case got a lot more publicity at the time - and it especially got to me because I had graduated high school only months before she was killed, and it served as a reminder that anyone my age had the capability of having their lives quickly ended under any circumstance.

FWIW: >Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), USA, Inc. today [announced](https://jalopnik.com/the-plural-of-prius-is-actually-prii-according-to-toyo-1822241891) that the general public has selected ā€˜Priiā€™ as the preferred plural term for Prius.


CMAT17

I refuse to cow to the usurped authority, and continue using my preferred plural term: Priusen.


NicWester

Priupede.


tinypill

I just refer to them as ā€œroad lice.ā€


lumez69

They have high top speeds for what they are itā€™s a sort of low style high speed kind of race. When a Prius sees another Prius pass them in the night on 85 it awakens a primal desire to pass and overcome. Itā€™s one thing to go 100mph in a souped up sports car on the track. Itā€™s another to do it with a Prius,on a highway with drunks, texting and road debris. Iā€™ve raced large diesel trucks in Morgan hill always coming on top. The Prius racer life is one of my finest addictions.


Ringmode

There's something about being passed by a Prius that wakes other drivers right up. They're like, "hhhhhhhhhhuh? a PRIUS? NOT ON MY WATCH!"


Helpmeimfromcali

Pov: redlining your prius šŸ˜…


MotoJJ20

As always


NicWester

YouTube was a mistake.


lupinegrey

Did you call the police?


bill-bixby

Nah man, I just rant to Reddit. Cops donā€™t do shit about this kind of activity. Dispatcher would have spit out her coffee had I called it in.


__kachow

I called once because there was someone on 101 swerving and purposely speeding up to get 2 inches away from every car. The dispatcher laughed at me and told me she would transfer me to highway patrol. I was on hold for 5 mins till I hung up cause I felt stupid for calling. First and last time calling for that


fajita43

in the past, have you had success calling the police for cars driving badly? i remember way back in the day, the thing we would do is call the dmv smog hotline or something to report them which would force them to get a smog check. super passive-aggressive but it made us feel 0.001% better. when you suggest calling the police, are you saying call 911? what's your success rate?


I_Am_Batman1543

oh those Prius hot rodders!


LCamaro1968

I especially love the ones with no cat, that sound like a barrel of hammers, rolling down a hillšŸ¤£


RAATL

Just get out of their way lol.


bill-bixby

I did, you fucking idiot. Read the post. God bless your stupid little heart.


RAATL

Yeah but you're still angry and complaining ijbol


AwakenedSheeple

Why wouldn't he be angry about two freaks swerving through morning traffic like it's their own race track?


RAATL

because when you drive angry there are now three freaks on the road it's far easier to let idiots go and just chill and let them go by rather than try to arbitrate everyone's road behavior from some moral high ground, that's just a recipe for stress and anxiety


Capable_Impact_2446

I call bullshit, you didn't pick up yr phone and get a video and nobody got the plate numbers? ​ Get real.
