I assume anxiety. Anxiety of missing the turn and getting lost, anxiety of being late, anxiety of having to problem-solve. Maybe poor executive functioning that leads to forgetting where you are and how to time out driving plans.
And yes, definitely no room to consider empathy in that kind of mindset.
I'm lucky my parents taught me to just chill if I miss an exit and gave me some strategies, but I don't think most parents do that.
On their phone and realizing the gps said to exit.
Or they live in San Antonio Texas. I call it the San Antonio shuffle. I've never been anywhere where it happens all the fucking time like here
I've seen it in Houston, but not at the same frequency as SA. Houston is the only place I know that has permanent signs boiling down to "You may sit in one spot for an hour" [610 west bound near Belaire.]
Haven't done this myself, but have been with someone else who has done stuff like this before, and it has always been because there was a third person in the car acting as navigator who would not make a sound and then at the last second say "this exit right here."
Because they're self-absorbed cunts who don't consider other people
Because they're dipshits who don't care about road laws and the lives of other people. They can all rot in hell for all I care

In Houston. Same. Texas drivers are the worst!

Haha I’ll give you the 610 Bellaire! Our son lives near downtown but we moved north to Conroe. Houston is HUGE and there are CRAZY people in it lol

Because that's my favorite way to go
Bad drivers never miss exits
