There are much bigger issues in life than someone speeding past you. You have two options, honk your horn for 45 seconds, flash your head lights, grab onto your "telemagenta" color carbon-fiber-look $7.99 aftermarket gear shifter in ANGER -OR- you can just leave them alone.
1. Everything on your car is broken, it's not a surprise the speedometer doesn't work.
2. That's why cars have headlights. Most places in the world don't have street lamps, are you kidding me?
3. Yeah, it can also skid on a time, your ignorance is going to get someone hurt, if it hasn't already happened. I kind of think somewhere along the line you've seriously hurt someone. You don't realize how hypocritical you are- you will honk at someone waiting in a no parking zone BUT you're NOT policing them. At the same time, you think it's ok to go 30 in a 60 and fishtail around?
4. "A controlled manner"? So you have experience. Tell me, where did you get this experience? Stunt school or driving like an idiot on the road?
5. That's a great way to get someone killed. I'm not saying either one of you is right, but two wrongs don't make a right.
6. It's a "foreign language"
I literally am going to have a nightmare tonight that I'm driving and I look in my rearview mirror and I see a Daewoo Lanos steadily approaching me.
They will answer and say "Oh gawd, it's that Daewoo kid again". So wait- hypothetical: The speed LIMIT is 65, so you can go 10mph since there are no minimums posted apparently, in the left lane?
I think you've never been in an accident because you're 25, you've had that Daewoo for years, and you've put what? 5,000 miles on it? If that!? The fact you haven't been in an accident is actually quite miraculous giving your tales.
Get a life. Either become a cop or stop pretending to be one. Do you continuously honk at these people? Even if no one is in or around the car?
1. And there are much bigger issues than giving me **** because I have a after market shift knob on my car. It is MY CAR not yours LET IT GO! There is a stereotype that BMW drivers are horrible drivers that have rage and drive reckless. Does that mean that's you because you drive one? NO! I don't bash you or your car STOP bashing ME and MINE! And,
FOR THE LAST ****ING TIME THE SHIFT KNOB IS RED!!!!!
2. That's complete *********! The speedometer IS NOT BROKEN you either have selective-hearing (or selective-reading in this cae) or you just simplely don't listen (or read in this case).
3. Headlights (low beams) are too dim to do anything. High beams are only dimmer. Using the passing lights make it brighter because it combines both high and low beams. The aid of Fog Lights at night do help but not much.
4. YES I WILL, BECAUSE they are no parking zones FOR A REASON it blocks traffic and hold up progress. It is no different than you people who honk at green light sitters or lay on the horn the second the light turns green. Me and other drivers have to either stop and wait for 15 minutes for the ******* to move OR we have to stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear to go around.
5. Talk about paranoid, You can tell a Daewoo apart from others, Even the Chevy badged ones.
6. You are just getting on my last nerve with all your wise-ass comebacks. You're not perfect stop acting like you are better than everyone else!
7. Perhaps you just don't grasp the concep., Based on your repeated remarks on false information, it wouldn't surprise me if you don't.
8. I look to see if someone is in the car first DUH it's a waste of time if no one is in it! Seems like YOU need to get a life, rather than spending time on here belittling everything I say or do. If you have nothing worth while to say on my posts/threads than just Shut The **** Up!
...but there are still a lot of those short ramps out there and they present a dangerous situation both for the person merging and other drivers in the right hand lane.
I know what you mean, There are a few on ramps around here that are so short your lucky if 2 cars fit in the lane and NO ONE lets you in so you have to come to a complete stop and wait. When I encounter these ramps I just look for a gap in the cars and gun it. It's about all you can do. The recent US-14 road construction not only added RCIs but also made right and left turn lanes 4x longer. I have noticed this actually helped alot for traffic flow.
No one behind me, but they don't have the patience to wait the ~3 seconds for me to pass them so they could safely change lanes.
IKR?! I hate when people do that!
I was thinking about this thread yesterday afternoon while I was driving home on 3rd street in Louisville. This is a 2-lane one way road with a posted speed limit of 35mph for most of its length(at least until you get into downtown). People who drive the road regularly go 35mph-no slower and no faster.
Sounds simular to the stretch of US-14 and US-63 I drive on. the speed limit for US-14 that I drive on is 40MPH It's not uncommon for people to drive as slow as 25 because there is a stop light every 2 blocks. You don't have a chance to get up to 40 before the next red light stops you. If you stay to the right lane on this section of highway traffic would be backed up. Driving in the left lane helps the flow of traffic.
You'll actually find this is the case in many places where there are lights grouped together. They time them so if you go through one on green and are going the speed limit as you pass under you should make the rest green as well.
As for
@MatthewLTL , I just can't get past the hypocrisy. On the road he's "Mr. by the book" yet when it comes to faulty wiring in the place he lives it's "whatever gets the job done, safety be damned".
That last statement is irrelivent to the thread keep it on topic. On the road EVERYONE shares it running a extension cord to my garage hurts no one two COMPLETELY different senarios.
