No, driving like a cnut is (for example) driving at 35mph in every NSL and getting a kick out of holding up long lines of traffic, never bothering to indicate, constantly lane-hogging, making it your number one priority to get in everyone's way, and generally being an impeding, interfering, belligerent, obnoxious, bullying piece of shit towards everyone around you for no fucking reason whatsoever. I bet you drive exactly like that when you slum it by getting into a car; after all, you hate everyone around you because they're motorists, so you've got to be a fuckwit towards them to show how much you hate them, haven't you?

Driving like a cnut is deliberately driving in such a way as to genuinely disadvantage those around you. In other words, as you know perfectly well it is in NO WAY the same as driving at 80mph on a fucking motorway. That's none of your fucking business if someone does that; you know perfectly fucking well that it makes no practical difference whatsoever to you or anyone else. You only choose to pretend otherwise because you want to interfere with other motorists and use whatever you can as a stick to beat them with, and since every driver speeds (and they FUCKING DO however much you might not like it), pretending the speed limit is a big deal when it isn't will do very nicely thank you.

Why don't you just fucking admit it? It's so bloody obvious. I'm fucking fed up to the back teeth with you and your fellow lying car- hating fuckwits making life SO MUCH FUCKING WORSE for drivers than it needs to be. FOAD the lot of you.
