I agree with you there.
In this instance, the teen knew that she was at fault and sheepishly mouthed "Sorry!" and waved the cell phone at me!.......
You got me good, pardner.
That would actually be a good idea. It would probably be cost prohibitive, however.
RE: 10 - See it every day. And the dopes are 10-20 mph slower than traffic flow.
Maybe he couldn't afford a GPS system.
Arrrgh!! That's me dictation device, matey!
No. 4. They are what make the roads dangerous.
Say it LOUD and say it PROUD!!!
Yes. In the given conditions you certainly would be.
I never insist on driving at a slower speed in the left lanes
Your answer implied you did, and your insistence on standing by the letter of the law in the face of roadway reality implies you condone it, in spite of your rhetoric.
(Me) Not talking law or legality.
(You) Because you can't, in this case.
No, I can't. So what? I will not use the law to justify and unsafe practice.
When doing the speed limit, I stay in the right lane.
Great! Then you agree that doing it is unsafe. Thanks, we are done I guess. ;)
I hate drivers who go up to the very end of a lane marked as "closed" then try get into the open lane, ahead of those of us who actually changed lanes when we saw the sign.
-- All that does is slow traffic down even more. Many road work areas now post signs to "use both lanes to merge point"
LOL!

More-or-less, I guess - I just about ran off the road laughing, though...
Ahhhhh.
I certainly don't like the global police state that's being built at break neck speed.
But there ARE a fine lot of police who do a great job serving a lot of people who need them desperately. And I applaud them. And some of them are my good friends and loved ones.
Yeah, there are the cheeky characters who ought to be in any kind of job but one with power. There are probably too many with such personalities in the police forces of our land. But thankfully there are many, hopefully most, who are much better citizens with much better characters.
And, it's still mostly true . . . the right living folks need not fear the police nor hate them.
Seen on bumpersticker "Turn signal broken, watch for finger"
And lived to tell the tale??!

When my 23 pound cat decided he had to sit on my shoulder on the way to the vet, I bought him a carrier. He wasn't happy about it, but it sure saved me some headaches. It's been almost a year now since I had to put him down. I'd give my eye teeth to have him back sitting on my shoulder...at any time.
I don't know if this is in my top ten, but it sure burns me up. I have a boat. 23 feet long. On a trailer. I CANNOT GET ON THE FREEWAY!!!!! You come up a ramp. Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration takes a nap when you hook the trailer to the truck. No one will let merge in. They will even speed up to keep you from getting in front of them, even when there's two empty lanes to their left that they could use. So I'm trying to get on the freeway, truck is floored and has all the pick-up of a herd of turtles, and I'm running out of pavement. What do I do?? Trust me, you don't want the boat to hit you, it carries 120 gallons of very flammable gasoline. And if the trailer hits the shoulder, control will be lost.
