OWN THE ROAD WITH AUTOTRADER, EPISODE 58: AM I THE JERK? PART 1

EV Channels Review

In Episode 58 of 'Own the Road with AutoTrader,' hosts Jodi Lai and Dan Ilika dive into Reddit's 'Am I the Jerk' (AITA) subreddit, dissecting controversial driving-related posts. The episode features a lively discussion on a friend's debilitating fear of driving, where both the friend's reliance and the poster's bluntness are deemed problematic. A significant portion is dedicated to a mother revoking her 16-year-old daughter's driving privileges for using two feet to operate the pedals, a practice deemed extremely dangerous and warranting the mother's firm stance. The hosts also tackle a learner driver consistently driving below the speed limit on the highway, concluding the driver is indeed the jerk due to safety concerns and potential legal issues. Finally, they debate whether constantly correcting a new driver's mistakes crosses the line into being a 'jerk,' ultimately suggesting that while safety is paramount, the poster might be overstepping. The episode also touches on the rarity of rear wipers on sedans and highlights the Toyota Crown and Acura Integra Type S as standout vehicles tested this year, with anticipation for the VW ID. Buzz.
