Do EV's encourage poor driving?

Not sure if it's because there are more EV's on the road or the people are too reliant on the technology that most EV's have. However I 've seen some absolutely terrible driving in. EV

Case in point I'm doing 70mph in my ICE in a rainstorm, Visibility is poor hence I'm in the overtaking lane. A Polestar shoots past me and only just avoids a van in front.

Why were you doing 70mph in a rainstorm with poor visibility? Were you relying on your in car technology or your god-like driving skills?

The rain doesn't look that terrible, probably not a great idea to sit in the outer lane at 70 if others wish to come past. I'm aware they shouldn't be exceeding the speed limit anyway, but the fact is they will.

I don't think there an EV connection at all though. Most new cars sold are not yet EV's and they all have the same level of tech and driver aids.

Never seen the type of behaviour described, I've never even seen an EV properly nailing it on an open road, which is a shame.

Sounds like the OP was smoked (sizzled?, fried?) by a school run mum in an ID5 and feels a bit butthurt.

Absolutely IMO. A lot of people have way more power than they used to.
