Re: Road Rage.
Dallas is a tough driving town. Bubba drives those big trucks and you got those double left turn thingies, where the first left turn is a u-turn and the second left turn is the real left turn.
Whatever happened with the lawsuit that the bigwig filed when he was injured trying to find his gate number on the signs that go into DFW? |

Re: Road Rage.
I have not done worse than flash my lights since I was 17 or so. Although my wife might argue that I have approached somebody's bumper too close. I disagree, although I might have been closer than the gas station safety commercials suggest. I have not done any NASCAR bump passes on people, because they would probably lose control of their car and die. But a little tap maybe should be legal if you have flashed lights 5 times and honked once. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
J/K of course. I actually don't respond when people start going nuts or give me the finger or whatever. I do live in a state where everybody has a gun in the car tho, so I think everybody is on slightly better behavior. |

Couldn't resist, could you? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Hey, I live in a city where everybody has a gun out of the car, and it doesn't help. |

If he can go around you to the left, he shouldn't flash lights. But he should never have to go to your right. I hope the depths of hell are reserved for those who drive along in the left lane and don't understand they need to get over. I hate having to either pass on the right or flash lights, etc.... It is my absolute human right on an interstate to set the cruise control and not have to tap my brake or steer too much. I have cigars to smoke, 100 channels of satellite radio, CDs and a cell phone to deal with. I shouldn't have to worry about an evil person in the left lane going 75.2 MPH. Get outta my way I say. And people who pass trucks slowly, just staying next to them for like a mile drive me nuts. I believe state cops should only write tickets for improper use of the passing lane and driving too slowly for conditions. A few beat downs and pepper sprayings of violators by the cops might be good too. If a coot with a 5th wheel hasn't learned that the left lane is the passing lane in his first 70 years of driving, how else can he be taught. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I agree. In Germany (where, in my opinion, reside the best citizen drivers in the world - along with Austria) you are only to pass on the left, and only the left. Otherwise, you are to stay in the right-hand lane. Of course, if you are going 120+ m.p.h. you generally stay in the left lane, which is a de-facto "fast" lane. When you are overtaking another care in the "fast" lane, that car is the move for you. In the U.S. this don't happen...many feel entitled to BE in the fast lane and still go the speed limit - that is bullshit. Many do it (I CAN JUST TELL, DAMMIT) just to prove a point and make the speedsters suffer. Nevertheless, despite posted speed limits, you are still supposed to keep to the right for faster traffic. |

Ok, except in New York
If you go into traffic and the light changes in New York, because it is so heavy, the car out in the intersection is "caught in the box". Subject to a fine and a lot of angry New Yorkers honking at you.

Re: Road Rage.
I agree about the slowpokes in the passing lane. This is a big problem. And the people that take 5 miles to pass a Big Truck are really irksome (I will start a controversy by saying the majority are women). They have no sense; they are scared to pass so they spent 30 minutes doing so. These people should be blown off the road and if they are still alive, executed on the spot and their vehicles set on fire. I have no patience for them.
I have been in a rage since I was 15 years old and do not intend to let old age slow me down. I always carry my 45 auto in my truck ready to dispense justice to the morons that I must share the road with. My shotgun, loaded with buckshot, will soon be joining me on all ventures onto the roadways. I wish I owned a tank. Manners on the roadways are for wimps. It’s either get out of my fuckin way, or DEATH – that’s my motto and how I have always driven. Sue me. I’ll write about my altercations on the roadways at a later time – I’m off to the casino. -Zeno |

That rule is primary. |
