People without driving anxiety and/or empathy towards people with driving anxiety need to GTFO this subreddit. Period.

I've been noticing an influx of car-lovers flooding this subreddit (I guess because it has to do with cars?) with absolutely garbage advice or downright insults when encountering a person with driving anxiety, especially if they made a mistake. Let me say it is not your place to speak up, you need to sit down and be quiet if you're going to be neither empathetic nor reasonable. "Just don't drive" is NOT considered good advice, "get off the road" is NOT good advice. The U.S. is car-centric and people, especially in rural areas, are dependent on cars to survive. People panic and make stupid decisions based on pure anxiety, some people are just learning to drive and need some patience. These people need empathy, they are driving a death-mobile with (understandable) anxiety and the LAST thing they need is to be yelled at by some grease monkey Redditor with nothing better to do than complain about how they don't like beginners on the road. I just deleted a post of mine on this subreddit that, albeit got a huge amount of love and support, was starting to get flooded with these types of Redditors and it got so annoying I had to delete it and go on a mass-blocking spree.

Either be helpful or see yourself out the door. If this post offends you I'm talking about you and you should be embarrassed.

edit: I repeat what I said, if you're offended, I'm talking about you and you should do better, because that's pathetic.

edit 2: To that dork that replied I have bad hygiene, I'm so confused where you even got that from? What?
